ESPN officially shuts down the AAC blog
http://espn.go.com/college-football/

As soon as ECU cracks the top 25 no less just like this conference losing it's power status right before we move in. It's tough to be a Pirate because you have to earn it 2x over while teams like UNC are just handed it for free. I guess it's why we have a chip so truly I guess we should be thankful for the lack of respect.

It's not like they were putting anything of any merit in that blog anyway but you'd think Aresco could have at least negotiated to keep it.

There was zero content for the AAC. ESPN will justify it by the internet traffic, but in reality nobody would ever visit a website without content.

It really doesn't matter. Blog or not the reality is the AAC is not a power conference. Some very fine teams in the league, but none with a name like Ohio State unfortunately.

I guess it's still a ghost page but it's been removed from the ESPN CFB home page and they weren't putting in any credible content to begin with so it might as well not even exist. They've now removed all content from the site completely.

I agree because that's where all the best ECU content is located anyway. I'm so glad that we are owning that conference lately.

I went everyday, just for clicks sake. They hadn't posted anything to it in almost two weeks but then added content this week. I was there earlier today and shared several articles/videos via FB and twitter.

RE: ESPN officially shuts down the AAC blog
Looks like the whole CFB Nation site is down. The blog is still included in the pulldown menu under CFB Nation, but there are no blogs that seem to be active. Click on the ACC, B1G, or SEC and you still get to a generic blogs page, which ironically lists the Stanford blog as the only active CFB blog. http://espn.go.com/blog/stanford-football/

Looks like the blogs are being reduced to 17 teams:

Alabama
Auburn
Florida
FSU
Georgia
LSU
Michigan
Nebraska
ND
Ohio State
Oklahoma
Oregon
Penn State
Stanford
Texas
Texas A&M
USC

The conference blogs seem to be done across the board.

A blue print for the end-game, a semi-pro league of the ultimate haves.
