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.

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.
