I thought it was a lock that Boston was going to win this nonsense, but I apparently I was wrong....very wrong. Valdosta, Georgia will be your brand new, or first rather, Titletown when ESPN announces the winner during tonight's Sports Center.... For years, it’s been called Winnersville. Now, the south Georgia town of Valdosta has another name: TitleTown USA, thanks to ESPN. The cable sports ...

ESPN Makes A Good Point By Accident

I call on all Wisconsinites to boycott ESPN for needlessly and laughably naming Valdosta, Ga., "Titletown USA." Really? You couldn't have picked another name? You really needed to poke your Mickey Mouse fingers in the collective eye of the poor people of Green Bay? Have you all been to Green Bay? What else do they have? Let them keep the freaking name. Oh, and Verizon, Wendy's and Dick's ...
AJC Blows ESPN's Cover -- Valdosta, Georgia Is Titletown, USA —
FanHouse
Is there anything funnier than seeing ESPN get egg on its face a bunch of network suits get all wadded up about something leaking to the press? I would argue "No." I would also argue that Valdosta, Georgia is not "Titletown, USA". ESPN clearly would argue with me, as the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has already announced ( via Donny Chavez ) that Valdosta will be crowned in about three and a ...
ESPN TitleTown is over! —
Sharapova's Thigh
I'm not putting a picture up or anything. Essentially, I am putting as much thought into this blog as ESPN put into their concept.
Valdosta, GA is Titletown, USA. Parkersburg, WV came in second. Worthwhile "candidates" like Boston, New York, or LA? Please. You're an uninformed sap if you're not taking into account how difficult and important it was that these towns have high school powerhouses.
ESPN Names Valdosta, Georgia As Title Town USA. Wha? —
FanIQ Blog
Who's Now? ... TitleTown USA. I'm afraid to guess what brilliant fill-the-gap-before-football programming the suits in Bristol will dream up next. It can't get any worse.
The best thing TitleTown USA had going for it was the Brett Favre saga, which actually made me look forward to the segment intent on locating the city who prides itself most on championships.
Tonight, TitleTown comes ...
ESPN changes Valdosta from 'Winnersville' to 'Titletown' —
Sports stories from Newsday
Let me get this straight:
Green Bay for many years has called itself "Titletown."
Valdosta for many years has called itself "Winnersville."
But according to the Valdosta Daily Times , this afternoon ESPN will declare Valdosta to be "Titletown," capping a month-long series/promotion.
So does this mean all those businesses in Green Bay with "Titletown" in their names now have to ...

ESPN's ridiculous search for "Titletown, USA" ended. Your winner....Valdosta, Georgia. I'm sure it's a fine place (after all, it IS "A City without limits") for some peach cobbler, and I hear they have a sweet high school football tradition...but Valdosta?? Was Odessa, Texas busy? Valdosta does earn points for being the hometown of Sonny Shroyer. AKA, Enos of Dukes of Hazard fame!

The Grand National Championships
Green Bay is Titletown USA. It's a part of the agreement that the Packers had with the Cowboys. The Cowboys got Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and the rights to being called America's Team for the rights to being called Titletown USA. I know, kind of lopsided. But this was in the Pre-Ron Wolf era. ANYWAY, as I was watching my AWA Wrestling, I found myself innundated by these commercials for ...

Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician
ESPN does so many stupid, pointless exercises in futility (ex. - Who's Now?, Titletown USA) that it's hard to separate their truly thought-provoking ideas from the ones they came up with in their sales meeting as a way to get Schick on board. So you'll excuse me if my initial reaction to the countdown of the most prestigious college basketball programs was that of contempt. I thought about ...

Double Extra Point - A Nebraska Cornhuskers Blog
In case you haven’t been watching ESPN for the past month, they held a “contest” called TitleTown USA, comparing different cities and their respective “championship pedigree.” A special panel of ESPN experts determined the 20 finalists and fan voting determined the winner. Contesting towns included such sports meccas as Massillon, Ohio and Parkersburg, West Virginia, along with virtual unknowns

Right Down Peachtree
Hey, get this! Didja know that Valdosta has been named ESPN's Titletown ? No? Don't sweat it, almost nobody did. "Titletown" was one of those made-for-the-dog-days-of-summer promotions that ESPN rolls out to try to stoke interest. Anyway, our kind of rednecky sister to the south won, so big ups to them. What was interesting was the photos of the ceremonies yesterday: As Cutting Down The ...

Normally, I do not condone anything having to do with ESPN or Sportscenter. It's become an overly commercialized, bastardized Cowboys/Yankees/USC fest and only vaguely resembles the awesome, pop culture phenom it once was. Still, as one Yinz Team member recently told me, "I like the ticker down the side in the HD version."
Anyway, go vote for Pittsburgh in this ...

A couple of weeks ago I was on ESPN making our case as to why Los Angeles should be named TitleTown. Not only is Los Angeles Titletown, it is the sports capitol of the WORLD!

Look at the coaches that have coached in LA: Rod Dedeaux (11 College World Sereis titles for ...

I have the option of working from home a couple times a week. In the morning work I like to keep on ESPN, more for sports information and background noise than a real enjoyment. Segment like Titletown give me a chance to flip around to real news or VH1 Jump Start to keep up on bad music to dazzle the kids at dinner time. How about that Feist huh?
