The fictional ESPN channel that was joked about in 2004’s Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story is actually coming courtesy of ESPN, who are turning ESPNU into “The Ocho” for an entire day of ridiculous sports programming.
“Drawing inspiration from the 2004 hit movie Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story featuring Vince Vaughn, Christine Taylor and Ben Stiller, ESPNU will become ESPN8: ‘The Ocho’ on Tuesday, Aug. 8, or more appropriately, 8/8.
ESPN8: The Ocho will really be living up to the promise of bringing viewers seldom seen sports to a major network.
Just as stated in the movie, ESPN8: The Ocho will be “Bringing You the Finest in Seldom Seen Sports.”
