First, I'm not trying to be disrespectful in any way.
ESPN seems like they've gone on an all-out blitz to show that they support the service. Sportscenters at West Point, College Game Day at the Air Force Academy, radio being at various patriotic sites.
What I'm wondering is why. Why this year? It's making me think I missed something.
Did I miss something?

Among other things, it seems there was this tragedy down in Texas...

ESPN's coverage was planned well in advance of the shooting at Ft. Hood. I'd attribute it, along with FOX broadcasting its pre-game show from Afghanistan, to Veterans Day coming up on November 11.
