ESPN analyst Desmond Howard criticized colleague Pete Thamel for reporting from inside Michigan Stadium rather than amidst the crowd during the pre-game show ahead of the Michigan-Ohio State football game. Howard expressed surprise at Thamel's deviation from the usual reporting style, questioning why Thamel chose to be inside the stadium for the updates. Howard's comment suggested a preference for reporters being in the midst of the crowd, a tradition maintained throughout the college football season. Howard's remarks came during ESPN College GameDay, where Thamel had been providing updates on the Michigan sign-stealing scandal. The controversy surrounding Thamel's reporting had led to threats from some Michigan fans. In response, College GameDay host Rece Davis defended Thamel, explaining that he had received threats from the «lunatic fringe,» and the decision to have him inside the stadium was made to ensure his safety. Despite the security concerns, Howard maintained his stance, emphasizing that Thamel should have continued reporting from the crowd, citing the presence of security and the generally friendly nature of fans.
