Right now. All day long!


These guys just don't know when to quit do they?











They are currently airing a Friday Night Lights marathon.

Finally, something worth watching on that channel

It's right next all the other channels in my sports package so I always see what's on. I still don't understand how they thought there was enough worthy material to warrant a full station. Some of the shite on there is just terrible (FNL not included)

FNL is the best thing they show.

BYU TV actually produces educational / documentary shows that have nothing to do with sports and are decently good and I've found myself watching a couple of them after flipping through the channels.

LHN produces no such show. You can watch UT volleyball, selected UT football games where they beat A&M, or the sports-center type show where they debate UT's best athlete, but nothing that has any value to anyone outside of DIEHARD UT fans.

How much did they have to pay NBC for the rights to air it?

They had a freaking fashion show on there one time I was scrolling through there.

It was a dumb idea to begin with. At least with the SEC Network, you have 14 teams to use material from, so even if they have to go the classic games route, they have a slew of options

Be honest- are they just Morman infomercials covered in a facade of sports?

I still think when it's all said and done, the Universe handed us a giant favor with the LHN. Maybe tu is strong enough to wade that thing through year after year of financial failure. But by then, it won't have mattered. No one will think of A&M as in their shadow.

FIFY. LHN and the handicap Big 12 are just symptoms of their greater problem.

Spot on. Their arrogance is what led to the last 3 years for them.

No, and that's the thing - the show I watched on there wasn't sports-related at all. It was like a Discovery or History type show. Not Mormon propaganda, either. I wouldn't have kept watching if it was. LHN is stuck with an owner that only does sports. The one non-sports show is a syndicated re-run. They don't even seem to have the full UT classic games library. They don't ever show anything pre-Big XII. It's all recent wins over A&M or OU or the 2005 Rose Bowl. No classics against Arkansas or wishbone offense, nothing.
