You can say that EITM fans have become somewhat accustomed to annual events being cancelled. Last year's DC101's Non-Denominational Christmas Party and EITM's Easter Keg Hunt are just a couple that come to mind. Sadly, EITM's Big Ass Football Bash has become the latest casualty...
"The answer is no, there will not be a Big Ass Football Bash," Elliot said Wednesday.
The party has been held every year, for ten years in a row, surviving the wrath of multiple sales staffs and production directors, too numerous to count.
Current DC101 production director, Dave Wellington, joined Elliot in the studio Wednesday morning to discuss why the event had been cancelled. What happened next goes down as one of the most awkward moments in EITM history - next to Craig Henderson's on-air resignation in 2007.
Elliot pressed Dave on several issues concerning a lack of planning for the event and even told a caller, "I believe he is not telling you exactly what he thinks."
Ultimately, Dave blamed the issue on the economy and finding a location to house the event. "Everybody had the best intentions to make this event happen," he said.
