unclejohn Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Waste of money. $$$ is not adding up so that's why they will go online with it too try and "hook" people to it. No thanks. Espn will show the games that count to national tv regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espn will show the games that count to national tv regardless. That's the problem, at present, Texas doesn't play games that count to a national TV audience. Well, except that volleyball game!

DB2point0 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Texas just got: Physically whipped up front outcoached outplayed anything else you can think of. But they have their own network.....and nobody can watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bordertown Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 I took advantage of the free peek and watched the last couple of sets the Texas women defeating Kansas St and then the Men Basketball opening game against Boston. As a Texas fan I liked what I saw considering I was watching an internet feed. I understand Aggies, Sooners, etc.... not wanting to pay so I can watch the programing. I would pay a "reasonable" amount to watch the programing on an HBO premium basis. Curious if anyone else took advantage of the free peek? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFan11 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I checked it out this weekend and loved it. I'm very excited to catch some baseball games on it this spring. Etex cable in gilmer has LHN so Ii have been watching it but it's an excellent way to see all the volleyball and baseball games that you never got to see before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually it will be carried on cable and satellite, and it will be a huge recruiting tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only does UT get the best already but need a network also for recruiting purposes? That's just greed and that's why the backlash from so many.

Sounds like a comment from the "Occupy Texas Movement"!!! Listen it is the goal of Texas to have their athletes pumping bars of gold, not lesser metals. What I am waiting for is Florida and Georgia to contemplate a Tier 3 Network similiar to Texas' and apparently OU's. Will those that are complaining opt to leave the SEC if this occurs?

UT and A&M are in the state of Texas so do you see a reason for concern here and why you can't compare SEC teams to A&M leaving the big 12.

The reason most Aggie supporters gave at the first reports of why A&M was leaving - SEC believes in equal revenue sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And playing in a better, more stable conference with a very low turnover rate unlike the Big XII. Oh, and as Commissioner Slive said, A&M is a cultural fit in the SEC.

JohnnyFootball Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 That's hilarious!!! The LHN worked out so well for A&M and so poorly for Texas! It was A&M's ticket to the SEC where they are doing well and getting recruits. And at Texas their fans are mad that they can't watch their games and their coaches are whining about it affecting their game planning and such!
