That was the slogan. That was the idea. Tell the public. Sell the public. ESPN tried to do it, and if ESPN said it, it had to be true.
Every game counts.
Nice concept, and just about as close to the truth as the ESPYs were to a real awards show. You don't have to hang around college basketball as long as Lefty Driesell to know the truth. Every game doesn't count. Not the same and sometimes not at all. Not when one good tournament week can overshadow the bad memories of the previous two months.
