Peppermint Patty Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 SEC Network Saturday, 6:30 PM Sam Houston St at LSU Or Lamar at UTAM Man, those are some marquee match ups. Lots of playoff implications. Quote
PhatMack19 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 6 games will be on the SEC Network on Saturday so 90+ million people will have the option to watch if they so choose. I wanted to watch Texas play last Saturday to see Chucky's first game but since I have Direct Tv I wasn't able to. I left my house and met king at one of those fancy new sports bars with 100+ tv's and 100oz beer tubes. Not one of those 100+ tv's was able to pick up the LHN as crazy at it seems. I don't get how the top program in the country can't get their games on TV. A $60 bar tab later, I guess I learned my lesson about the LHN and it's very limited distribution. PN-G bamatex 1 Quote

Your argument got old a long time ago. You did not want to watch. I offered you my Time Warner username and password to watch. You refused. Gigem :D :D :lol: :lol: :lol: Some day, when Texas A&M grows up, they will get their own network too. It won't be the first, but maybe it will be the biggest. Quote
whatnamecanipick Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 good use of bandwidth...............and you do not have to say a word. Quote
Roper84 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 No worries for me. I'll be at Kyle field with 109,000 of my closest friends. Hopefully it's a sell out. #humblebrag LocknLoad 1 Quote

I watched it without a problem. I guess it's a matter of "want to". ESPN has the followng listed for Saturday, September 6 for the SEC Network: 12:00 PM Arkansas State @ Tennessee 12:00 PM Florida Atlantic @ #2 Alabama 04:00 PM Eastern Michigan @ Florida 04:00 PM Nicholls State @ Arkansas 07:30 PM Lamar @ #21 Texas A&M 07:30 PM Sam Houston State @ #13 LSU What is the Alternate Channel choice? I sure would like to watch the 9th best team in the country play the Fighting Cardinals. Quote

PN-G bamatex Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 You know, sometimes I really just have to sit back and wonder if the UT fans realize how much the rest of the country's fanbases have been laughing at them over the Longhorn network, its unintended consequences, the demise of Mack Brown and the shell of a conference they now play in for the past three years. And I say that as someone who hopes to be in Austin wearing burnt orange next year. Roper84 1 Quote

And I say that as someone who hopes to be in Austin wearing burnt orange next year. That tends to happen. Every thing is cyclical. Texas is down, they will be back. Not too long ago Alabama was a shell of its former self, now, not so much. The LHN has been a bust. No doubt about it. UT has only benefited from a financial standpoint. That's about it. As for the conference, if it continues to decline, UT will do what's best for UT. PN-G bamatex 1 Quote

As for the conference, if it continues to decline, UT will do what's best for UT. I'm glad someone admits that. Props. I personally am very optimistic about Strong. UT picked a good coach. But he has more to overcome than I think any first year head coach in UT history ever has, especially in the recruiting game. A&M, Baylor and even Tech all have a lot more clout than they used to, and there's even more competition from out of state now that the SEC is represented in Texas. Quote

Strong can offset his woes in Texas by continuing to recruit Florida. He has done very well in that state for years. When he starts winning, the Texas kids will come back. If he can't win, he will not be the UT coach. Quote

PhatMack19 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 Pretty good read about the "Big 12 Network" http://m.newsok.com/tramel-the-big-12-conference-should-have-listened-to-kevin-weiberg/article/5338213 Quote
Roper84 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 Pretty good read about the "Big 12 Network"http://m.newsok.com/tramel-the-big-12-conference-should-have-listened-to-kevin-weiberg/article/5338213 "And now conference networks are all the rage, with the ACC considering joining the club. Meanwhile, Texas and its Longhorn Network contract safely keep the Big 12 from considering a conference channel for 17 more years." That about sums it up. Quote
baddog Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 I liked the article in that it showed UT was NOT the only culprit against a conference network. Read closely. All the Ags trying to lay blame squarely on UT's shoulders when they were just as GUILTY. Talk about two faced! Ags, really, that's all you live for is to find fault with UT. What an existence that must be. For most people, the second thing out of their mouths when being introduced to someone is not which college they attended. whatnamecanipick 1 Quote
