As far as programs....you gotta have full rounded athletic prowness...like football, basketball, volleyball, track and whole package...gee, Im not sure which SEC school has it all going on...hmm.

I do like a SEC tv network...here in Fla we have Sunshine Network and it is a sports only cable based network that gives us a lot of Gator programming.

We have good programs in all of those. If anybody in the SEC was going to get it's own network, heaven forbid, A&M has solid programs across the board. Give $Bill some credit. He built the shite out of our non-revenue sports.

We need an SEC network, not an individual network. LHN sucks aardvark dongs and fricks up the prospects of a big 12 network.

TV ratings prove that A&M is #1.


The TV ratings over one weekend doesn't prove anything. Lots of buzz for Tamu with their first SEC game.

Numbers don't lie. You can spew your bullshite opinion all day, but A&M get's better ratings. You can't deny it. Go cry about it, commie lover.

I would like UF to get more coverage of our non-revenue sports. SunSports could serve that purpose for us though. We wouldn't really need a full-time Gator network.

Numbers don't lie, that's correct. But neither does common sense.

How does rating for one weekend prove Tamu is the number one team in Texas? It doesn't. It would be different if you showed me tv ratings over multiple years or even a year, not just a game. Throw in the fact Texas is kind of down at the moment while Johny Football was being tested for the first time... its very easy to see why Tamu got better ratings last weekend.

And since you're a clown to begin with, you probably wouldn't know Fidel kicked Che out of Cuba because once he understood Soviet Communism he hated it. But yeah.. good one.

1. Do you know who the frick Che Gavara was? How old are you?
2. "Common sense" is a HUGE fallacy. Numbers don't lie.

Verizon Fios and AT&T UVerse are the only national providers.

there are a few smaller cable systems.

I was under the impression that they or any SEC team can do that with their 3rd tier rights, but that the amount of content available is reduced due to better TV deals, in baseball in particular. That was one of the mocking points, that they (UT austin) were trying to join every conference
with the lhn except the one that would
allow it.

You must be on the autism spectrum to think that Tamu having a higher rating on the weekend they played their first big SEC game proves they are the #1 team in Texas.

I get LHN via AT&T Uverse. My favorite program is the Mack Brown excuse show.

Nah, not letting you off the hook here.

Explain to me how having a higher rating on one weekend proves you're the #1 team in Texas?

And did you miss the part about him getting kicked out of Cuba because he hated Soviet Communism? That entire subject would be way to difficult for you to wrap your head around, really.
