Nah, probably not. But they still won't be in Auburn Saturday.
ESPN has changed its mind.
ESPN producer Jonatha Whyley, who earlier this month told TWER the World Wide Leader would have a film crew on hand for the Celebrate The Tradition block party following Auburn’s A-Day game, now tells us they will not be in Auburn Saturday, and will instead use footage from Birmingham’s ABC 33/40 to cover both the oaks’ final rolling and removal.
“Nothing really changed,†Whyley says. “Just other shoots come up, and the (NBA) playoffs.â€
Whyley says ESPN still plans to show portions of Saturday’s event live, but isn’t sure whether it will be broadcast on ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPNU, or ESPNews.
Auburn spokesman Mike Clardy says he was notified of the decision last week. When asked if he felt ESPN’s change of heart was possibly related to a potential protest of the network’s presence in light of ESPN The Magazine’s recent non-story on Auburn’s “spice epidemic,†Clardy replied “As far as I know it doesn’t. We were told Tom Rinaldi had something else to cover that day.â€
Whyley says Rinaldi will still write that Sunday essay for us.

Oh my...I want to be there with PCT if his best buddy is covering for 33/40!
-
So, no more roll the reporter. We can still roll the camera guy though.

No, its still on. We'll roll Raita or Speagle instead.

It wouldn't bother me one bit if ESPN never steps foot on the Auburn University campus again.

Where were you when I was officially sailor bait? Good grief. You have never been hotter. Your mockery of Riata at the TAMU game was so damn awesome, it made me giddy. Can only imagine how awesome it will be at this particular A-Day. By TAMU last year, we were resigned and the Riata mockery was half hearted. No longer.
I <3 you.

Wow, you do make sense sometimes.
Agree.

The coward wasn't there. Smart move on his part.. I had a 3 man team, armed with multiple rolls each, engaged in this seek & destroy mission.
While walking to the stadium gate, The Six, my buddy Tim, and I stumbled upon an ESPNU crew. I peeled back and engaged the enemy. It went exactly like this:
Me: "Wow, ESPNU! What smear piece are y'all working on about Auburn today?"
ESPNU fucktard: "We only tell what we know."
Me: "Really? Well then, you don't know shit."
There will be another day for Raita. I wish I could have found the other horses ass, Rick Karle, while we were on patrol. He was there; I saw him on last nights newscast throwing a roll toward the tree (with a crowd of dumbasses cheering him on). His throwing motion is similar to that guy on the car commercial who's playing catch with his son. Karle is a frigging stooge on the same level as Raita.

I am going to secure you a bottle of awesome Scotch, just for this, and for the promised that Riata will get his day of reckoning.
