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

Yeah

"Most successful network launch ever"
Id say it was horrible.

All Bama....all the time!!

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.

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

Love it so far.

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.

Its all right. Its about what I expected. Tebow blows.

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.

I was excited. I'm now underwhelmed. Tebow is not very good. I don't care much about watching past games. I was (and still am) hoping for some good original content focusing on the various schools and their athletic programs.
I would like to see some on-campus stories. History of the schools, interesting facts about the towns, the alumni, whatever.

So far, so good.
Thursday afternoon and evening will probably be the high water mark before the season starts.

I've actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would. The documentaries and classic games are great.
Only issue is with the finebaum show. I'm not a hater of his like most of y'all, but I do think that show is pretty horrid

It'll be better once football starts.Not big on a bunch of talking heads rehash the same shite day after day after day.

As a Bama fan, I've got to say that McElroy needs to throttle back his presentation. He can make some good points, but he sounds so fake and scripted. He's too polished.
As for the rest of the Network, it won't be as great as some say. There will be a lot of dead time that will be filled by women's soccer and SEC Storied replays. It also won't be as bad as others say.
I think the complaint about Finebaum & his callers are spot on. I hate that he's (and his callers) are sort of the face of the network.

I just hate that Pawl takes up the whole fricking afternoon. Put him at six in the morning with Mike and Mike

Its about what I expected from Tier 3 content. It'll get better when the season starts.
The talking heads really need to loosen up though, there are times when the commentary pieces seem like they are a college journalism class with a good IT guy.

I watched some of the Finebaum simulcast the other day. I liked the part when PF was talking to I-Man and he let Jim from Tuscaloosa call in and call him names. Very original - never heard that one before.
Seriously though - SECN needs the season to hurry up and start.
