Around SBN: UFC 146 Predictions

This situation can't continue indefinitely. The Big Ten Network suffered through the same growing pains, with most cable companies only agreeing to carry it in its second year of existence, but that was amid public demand. With no one clamoring for the Longhorn Network in their home, it's still likely that by next year the network's footprint will be national: but not at the price ESPN wants to charge to carry it.

How can you base an entire network off one college school?

I can see them making an exclusive deal with ESPN to air most of their games, but to create and sustain an entire network is a completely different animal. The failure of this network has hurt their image and will be a tough pill to swallow when they are forced to pull the plug.

Does that still exist?

And before you say Versus, know that Versus carries IndyCar Racing, PBR, Mountain West football and now MLS.

Also those are the guys who did the Olympic (and maybe still are? I don’t know, did ESPN win the rights yet?)

i am guessing

that Texas won’t care. They’ll still get money out of it, and they can always blame ESPN for not selling it correctly.

We know they’re a bunch of arrogant asses, but they’re not about to admit that to themselves, emperor’s clothes and all that.

No, they admit it

They know they’re arrogant…and are perfectly happy they’re arrogant. They deserve it. They’re freaking TEXAS. The biggest and the best, in the biggest and best recruiting ground. And if you didn’t know that by now, they’ll be perfectly happy to shove that knowledge down your throat. And then expect you to buy their network so they can remind you of that 24/7.

But...But....We're TEXAS!

We’re the best! We invented football! Friday Night Lights for crissake! We got the most money! Everyone loves us! Right? Right?
