ESPNU (often referred to as The U) is a television channel that specializes in college sports, and is produced by, affiliated with and owned by parent network ESPN. ESPNU originates out of ESPN Regional Television's (a.k.a. ESPN Plus) Charlotte, North Carolina offices located in the Ballantyne area of South Charlotte.
The network was launched on March 4, 2005 from the site of Gallagher-Iba Arena on the Oklahoma State University Campus in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The network's first live event was a semi-final game of the Ohio Valley Conference men's basketball tournament that saw Southeast Missouri State University fall to Eastern Kentucky University. The network was launched as a response to upstart rival CSTV (now CBS College Sports Network). ESPN was also being investigated by the U.S. Justice Department due to "warehousing" of college games from certain conferences, or signing a deal with a conference for all their games, but only televising a small number and not allowing the conference to make other arrangements for TV broadcasts.

Triumfa España
Let us sing, comrades,
the great battle song,
our fierce voices
shall prove we're strong
soldiers, the country
calls us to the fight.
we swear to her loyalty
to conquer or die.
Triumfa españa el fantasma de la Edad de Oro
brave is your Jesus El Toreador!
the fire of battle
the trumpet of war,
affrighting the greedy,
the cannons now roar.
Raise your arms, sons
and daughters of spain,
this glorious nation is
emerging again.
Triumfa España!
Los yunques y las ruedas,
cantan al compass
del himno de la fe.
Gloria, Gloria, crown of the poor,
brave is your Jesus El Toreador
Gloria, Gloria, crown of the poor,
Todo el tiempo queriendo escapar y nada acaba,
no puedo olvidar, la piedra es piedra sin ninguna raz?n.
y ella es la sangre de la m?sica,
flota en el eco de la m?sica y me hace re?r cuando se apaga la luz.
Y acerc?ndose me hacia tan feliz.
Un susurro soy, un mar lej?simo.
y en el agua escucho voces que acariciar?n mi piel.
no conozco nada de verdad y sin embargo dejo de pensar,
s?lo quiero correr, que todo sea calor.
y ella es la espina que me gusta m?s,
ella es la fruta que quiero probar,
remando sin ver, un barco contra reloj.
y acerc?ndose me hacia tan feliz.
un susurro soy, un mar lej?simo.
