The decision was questioned. And we aren’t talking about how Old Dominion blew a 28-0 lead and lost to Western Kentucky in the Famous Toastery Bowl on Monday.
Rather, ESPN’s call to switch the game from the network to ESPN2 during its thrilling conclusion so it could show all two hours of the pregame show “Monday Night Countdown.”
With Old Dominion facing third down on the first possession of overtime, the network moved the game to ESPN 2.

Moving the Famous Toastery Bowl to ESPN 2 in OT is a DISGUSTING ABUSE OF POWER by Mickey Mouse.

Booting the Famous Toastery Bowl to ESPN 2 for Monday Night Countdown is so lame.
Who cares about a two hour pregame show?

The Famous Toastery Bowl is a barnburner between Western Kentucky and Old Dominion. It’s 35-35 in overtime, I think a coach got penalized for interference on the sideline and ESPN just moved the game to ESPN2. Bowl season is underway and I’m guessing @MatthewColler is thrilled.
