It’s incredible that rebranding ESPN2 as ESPN8: “The Ocho” brings so much excitement with it every year, but here we are once more and I’m hyped yet again. What began as a goof on the 2004 film Dodgeball: A true underdog story has become one of the biggest events of the year for those participating in sports nobody really watches. For 2022 we will get to see ESPN8 starting on Friday, August 5th and if you’re curious what you need to watch I’ve selected a handful of the best events with my brief elevator pitch for each one. There are obviously events all day long, with the premiere event being the “SuperHole” cornhole event which is a pro-am with celebrities. This, from ESPN. “The SuperHole event pairs a celebrity with an ACL pro for the competition. Celebrities set to participate include: Jay Cutler, Doug Flutie, Terry Kirby, Ben Rector, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Dawn Staley, Chris Weidman and ESPN and SEC Network’s own Marty Smith.” * Denotes a live event.
