Is it what you expected and is there any way to tell how its launch did compared to Longhorn or other networks?

"Most successful network launch ever"

Id say it was horrible.

Once the season starts it will be more riveting to watch, I can't imagine Finebaum having that much air time in the offseason and I think his time slot will get old quick. Not sure why ESPN would back that with all the other content they could show.

So far, quite a disappointment. I never turned on the Longhorn network, so I can't compare.

I am hopeful that the weak launch will be outweighed by the expanded coverage of SEC sports events.

About what I expected. I like the replays of the old games, but hope the archives are deeper than they appear so far. Unlike some posters, I will watch all of the SEC games, not just Alabama games. So, great concept, and too early to tell how good it is going to be. I suspect it will be much better than the first week of air time, especially when we start watching regular season football and basketball and especially SEC bass fishing competition.

I think it's great. I've always wanted some channel to watch classics of the past on.

I swear some of you LSU fans haven't even watched and just keep pulling this line out of your asses. It's not even close to all Bama all the time

and this is coming from an Auburn fan

His show is horrid. ESPN should be flogged and anyone else that contributed to his hiring

Exactly what i expected, so far.

When fb season starts, there will be a different level of expectation to live up to.

ESPN being partners makes me not worry so much, but also takes the fun out of it. Might as well call it ESPNSEC.

Ive enjoyed it.

Anyone have any numbers or anything to validate the "most successful launch" thing?

Im genuinely interested in viewers etc.

I've enjoyed it so far. It will drastically improve in about a week with live SPORTS programming.

I'll appreciate it more once football season actually starts.
