"Golden Eagles" vs UTSA, according to Associated Press

AP's write up of today's conference championship on ESPN website:

 

 

I know ESPN couldn't give two shits about us but the disrespect is just... laughable. It's become a staple for our brand at this point to mis-identify our logo, name, etc.

 

EDIT: see my edited comment down below. A little dose of sweet sweet karma I suppose.

They are just confusing the mascot with the wrong SMU who we will play in a different conference championship game next year... duh!

Thanks! The EEEEAAGGLLE line in scrubs was my catch-phrase in college. Great show

Another write up referred to us as the  

Green Wave. 
 

It’s our OWN FAULT. When you breed mediocrity the nation or national press will never respect you.

true. I've just never seen it at this level for a collegiate team. Some college programs are so notoriously bad that when they get press they at least get the decency of running their article through a spell check.

Like, maybe take the 5 seconds to verify the teams mascot before you publish? It wouldn't be something I'd care about if I didn't EXPECT this to happen. Seriously. I've seen it so many times.

Just boggles my mind.

I would say it in the car when turning on Eagle Dr. But neither my wife nor friends would get it.

utterly embarrassing.  A sports news organization cannot be bothered to get the teams right.

As I have said before sports writers are extremely lazy.

Plenty of this is our fault but this poor excuse for journalism is also the result of exchanging quality standards (both in education and in the workplace) for DEI check boxes and other progressive accomplishments, such as the "everyone gets a trophy" concept.

If you asked the majority of people at ESPN about the “fake fair catch” they’ll know about NT. Just a few years ago we were the darlings of ESPN just for that one play. Someone’s doing that on purpose. You can’t even be lazy and say “Golden Eagles”. That in Itself takes effort.

SLIGHT CORRECTION:

For all the pearl clutching I've been doing in this thread, I need to take a bit of my own medicine.

This article was actually written by the AP. I guess ESPN has some sort of agreement with the AP to publish their game previews on their website.

Please redirect all ire towards the AP.

I'm gonna go touch grass.

SLIGHT CORRECTION:

and if you look really close (not this article, this is not one of them), the AP has some of their stories written by AI/bots.
