I haven't paid attention to that really since yall gave the bird to UTx, but TT is really going as far as threatening to forfeit? Good for them

This year's game is in Lubbock, so that doesn't apply.

What he's referring to was the attempt by the Longhorn Network to get the Texas Tech at Texas State game televised on it. The Texas Tech AD told ESPN and Texas State that the moment that happened, they would forfeit the game and only play an 11-game season.

I don't remember hearing about that, but that's cool. I'm proud of them for doing that. UTx should not be allowed in any conference with the LHN, and they certainly shouldn't be allowed to show games that don't even involve UTx. They need to learn ALL conference members are equal. Vandy deserves the same payout as LSU, Bama, or any other SEC school.
The only good thing I could think of with the LHN is that pretty much doomed any shot of UTx getting in the SEC in the future if that network is still around
