My SECN channel guide is showing both A&M/Lamar and LSU/SHSU games at 7:30 edt. How will this work? If I don't get the game on SECN, will it be on Watch ESPN? Somebody please say yes, and mean it.

They are showing 2 games at once. There is an SECN overflow channel it will be on. Your provider should have an extra channel that they use for such things. Luckily they are doing this 3 times in the day so should be pretty easy to find on the Rant by the time our game rolls around.
Either way, yes, it will be on SECN+ so worse case scenario you will have to stream it. But my guess is we are the primary.

Sorry if this has been discussed somewhere in this thread already. I get SECN on the Watch ESPN app on my iphone. However, when I go to the Watch ESPN app on my Apple TV, SECN does not show as an available channel. I called Comcast, but they couldn't help me. Anybody else have this problem? Suggestions?

I'm not sure on the Appletv thing. Don't have comcast or an Appletv but you may need to reboot to get the latest software given apple adds like 42 layers of software to everything, I bet it does.

Should have responded earlier. I unplugged and re-booted. All good now.
Btw, Jason Cook said that our game is not the primary.

appears so
I was able to find the alternate channel on FIOS. It's 832 for those looking and you can set up the DVR now even though the only thing listed is "College Football."

I was on the phone with Comcast for 30 minutes this morning, trying to figure out what the alternate channel is in my area. They were unable to answer the question...

For those that care, I found this to be an interesting tidbit

So far, the SEC Network has not provided Nielsen ratings.
"That was by design," he [Justin Connolly, ESPN Senior Vice President for College Networks] said. "The idea is to get ratings in Year 2, focus on distribution in Year 1. We have widespread distribution in the SEC footprint and nationally so we're reevaluating. We may get rated sooner than we originally thought."

With the delay, I was able to watch pretty much the 2nd quarter on with the main channel.

Need to go back through this thread to see if we have old projections for year one but SC AD Ray Turner expects first year payout to be $5m
quote:
“Long story short, when we first started talking about the network, they said we’d probably realize a benefit in Year 3,” Tanner told the BOT. “Obviously it’s been more successful than that. This summer we’ll receive a distribution (and) I think it will be at least $5 million. I’d like to think that’s on the conservative side. Each school will receive a $5 million gain.”

It was a partial year and a start up year
The real year one is now and it should double the partial year at least

really hard to know much without seeing the accounting of it all. We don't even know the period the payment is for yet much less an account of how much of the start up was amortized vs expensed, or rather importantly, what the split is between the SEC and ESPN.
But I do think that $5m was completely unplanned for and it's one reason you've seen a big escalation in spending (particularly on assistant coaches) around the SEC. And that means SECN is far exceeding expectations, which originally were pretty damn optimistic.

Here is a report that agrees with you tmc:

it says that any money year one was a huge bonus. I think that means expect LHN money year 2.
Also I loved this comment on that link:

The simple fact is that Texas had their premiere recruit quarterback from the state of NEW MEXICO get wooed away to Michigan by Harbaugh. Desperate for a quarterback, Orangebloods floats the rumor of Kyler Murray forsaking Texas A&M and going to Texas. You had Texas pundits stating that “it is 85% certain Murray is signing with Texas.” Never happened.
Sort of like when you “guaranteed” Saban was moving to Texas to coach. Never happened.
Sadly, this is how far Texas has fallen. Texas and OU could “select” what five and four stars from Texas would sign with those respective schools, not any more.
You can call the SEC arrogant, but like Satchel Paige said “It ain’t bragging if it is fact.” Right now
the SEC is the top rail. The quarterback Texas signed out of Florida from FSU was going to be redshirted because of the glut of quarterbacks FSU has committed to play for them. He was not going to see the light of day at FSU.
Coach Strong still has a lot to prove simply from the beating he had at the hands of the sixth place team in Arkansas from the SEC West. Just how many rushing yards did Texas have in that game? 59 yards?
The SEC thanks you for giving us the correct Texas school, your TV markets and Alabama thanks
you for giving us five star defensive backs the last three years We didn’t even recruit Texas that hard until Texas A&M joined the conference. Now you have the entire SEC West recruiting enmass in football. LSU has their flagship radio network on an AM powerhouse in the Houston market and is considering moving their commitment on the home and home in the rivalry game with Texas A&M to Houston for Thanksgiving weekend to penetrate the Houston market for recruits and their large alumni base. Enjoy your Big Eight 2.0 because Madison Avenue knows from advertising dollars you are not generating, the recruits know if from the poor recruiting results that have the Big 12 fighting off the MWC for fifth place and the fans know from their lack of attendance.
The SEC had 1,103,000 fans in the seats in 2014. The Big 12 had 583,000. That,, my friend, is not
a viable conference. Michigan State showed that.
You have Kentucky getting the Harrison kids to commit right under Texas’s nose.
Have all the SEC envy you want, you gave it to us on a silver platter when Texas A&M joined the league and that is what pisses you off the most. Little brother grew up, moved away, making more money, and a better and brighter future.

Is this true? If so I reallllly don't like it, and would be a bad move on a lot of levels, but mainly I hate neutral site games goddamnit. It's bad enough we have one with pig. DO NOT WANT.

There is no way that is true. Regardless it says LSU is considering moving their end, it says nothing about ours. But yeah, you would have to be criminally retarded if you're LSU and you want to move your side of a home and home to the other team's largest alumni base. This would basically mean we would have 1.75 home games for every two games played in the series.
There is absolutely no way that is true

DGAF about neutral site games, but I would be absolutely stunned if LSU gave up their BR date with us for the sake of a game in Houston.
I just can't see them being that foolish, tbh.
