“The Ocho” is making a comeback.
On Aug. 8, ESPNU will become ESPN8: The Ocho, with a lineup of shows on the faux network that draws its inspiration from the 2004 movie, "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story," that starred Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor, ESPN reported.
“The Ocho” will present a lineup of off-the-wall sporting events beginning at midnight, ESPN reported. Sports will include disc golf, Ultimate Trampoline Dodgeball, roller derby, Firefighters World Challenge and the Championship of Bags (a cornhole tournament).
It all will be played under the slogan made famous by The Ocho in “Dodgeball”: “Bringing you the finest in seldom-seen sports.”
In a release, the network expressed regret that longtime Ocho announcers Cotton McKnight and Pepper McKnight will not be providing the commentary.
Here's the full lineup of events:
