It can't be a night game given the location.



No, that and no lights.


You seem really smart. Remind me what year you graduated.

Some serious sick burns on this page
That is what is so unbelievably funny....The nut shots just keep coming.....


  • Horn carries skrong off after beating North Texas
  • Horn football gets shut out by Iowa State
  • Horn misses bowl game....AGAIN
  • Iowa State fires head coach
  • Horn has to watch A&M win SEC regular season in basketball
  • Horn has to watch A&M in the SEC Tourney championship playing Kentucky
  • Horn basketball with Prince Ibeh and new coach Shaka Smart....one and done to UNI
  • Horn has to watch A&M in biggest comeback in history against same team
  • Horn has to watch A&M and their REAL rival OU in the sweet 16
  • Horn has to watch REAL rival make it to final four
  • Horn baseball sucks wind and misses post season
  • Horn has to watch A&M reach #1 in all major baseball polls
  • Horn gets a little break seeing A&M miss regular season by 1 game only to have A&M win SEC tourny and lock up a National Seed
  • Horn, with zero going on selection Monday has to try to be relevant to the news cycle by announcing their longtime coach is stepping down.....and gets blasted by the media
  • Horn struggles to see how many freshman football signing class actually make it into school

...and now, horn finds out they will be playing their premier game against their REAL rival on FS1 and the rematch against Iowa State will be seen by no-one but Horn on LHN.....

SOOOOOO FUNNY
You're right, I just cry myself to sleep at night knowing A&M is playing sports at a high level.

Also, don't remember Texas carrying Strong off the field against North Texas. In fact, I don't even remember Texas playing North Texas last season. Also, no clue at all what Iowa State firing their coach has anything to do with Texas football. Like at all.

Whatever, though. Hope typing all that made you feel better

You're probably right. It's better to have your games televised on networks no one can watch, on ****ty channels like FS1 or at 11am or 930pm. You sound like you have this figured out. Have you sent your resume to Belmont?

Your brand is what it is because Mack Brown strung together a bunch of ten win seasons. You're about to have a threepeat of losing seasons with nobody watching or caring. Empty seats and nobody watching on TV doesn't make the brand look that strong.

There's the hubris we know and love. Truthfully, if you aren't building your brand, your losing it.

See Under Armor, Nike: Tom Brady, Steph Curry, Cam Newton, etc.

Well how do you feel about the SEC being dropped to a 2:30 time slot on CBS? Not very attractive. But hey at least you guys get to headline it. I wouldn't look for any ratings wars at that time.

Yeah. Because the opening game of the season for CBS, in their one and only slot of the day for CFB, with Uncle Verne kicking off his last year of calling play by play is bad thing.

Five of the top ten most watched games last year were 3:30EST kick offs. The other five were 8pm kicks. I think we'll be fine, as usual.

Fox sees it as a marquee game. Did you see the other two it was lumped with? We'll see how it plays out.

Texas will just have to muddle through being the top choice of the networks for the lone Sunday night spot against ND. I'm shocked that they didn't bump it for your match up against UCLA.

No, but that's exactly my point. The point is: this forum is talking trash about where Texas's game is going to be watchable on the tv guide is about as much smack value as what the players are wearing when the play

How far will that apparel deal get you when Rayplor gets that pee pee slapped and your conference is reaching out to...hmmmm, Colorado State or North Dakota State to join? We'll be swimming in the deep end of the money pool for years with equal mates while you guys are arranging chairs on the titanic! Hope that violin stays dry!

If it's really a matter of ESPN choosing ND/Texas with their first pick (and in doing so they were forced to leave the door open for FOX on the OU/Texas game), then I get it - OU/Texas will be back next year but ND/Texas is a rare matchup. If that's the case, I'm really not worried about the broader implications or loss of prestige of the RRS.
But strictly as a watcher of football games, this news sucks because FS1 sucks.


It isn't about first pick / second pick. It's about having a ****ty conference that can't protect its own broadcast interests. The SEC might be getting what many consider to be an under market rate from CBS, but guess what, the biggest conference rivalry game of the season isn't being pushed to a station like FS1... not that the conference even has a broadcast partner that ****ty anyway.
Caveat: I don't follow how games are chosen.

Comment: I'm puzzled about the position that the 2016 OU/Horn game is on FS1 due to ESPN using their first choice on a different game (that happens to involve the Horn team).

Question: In any other year, isn't it possible that ESPN uses their first pick involving a team-not-from-Austin, consequently again relegating other providers (FS1,etc) to choose (or not) to provide the OU/Horn game?

Further, if the Horns weren't playing ND this fall, isn't it possible that ESPN would still have used their first choice for a matchup not involving the Horns, thereby enabling FS1 to still choose the OU/Horn game?


Overanalyzing this? Just keep it simple.

As long as it's on TV, I'm good.


Apologies if I didn't present this train of thought well enough. This warrants no further response from me.

I know being obtuse is your best chance of holding onto your delusion, but let's try this again.

ABC could only choose one of TX/ND, TX/OU and OU/Ohio State. They chose TX/ND.

FOX chose TX/OU. This is not a relegation. FOX likely has big plans for promoting the game or could move it to FOX proper.

ABC/ESPN considers those to be marquee games and chose Texas/ND above all to show nationally in prime time. That's what being a brand does for you. Replace any team in the above three games with A&M and you immediately have an easy choice for least desirable game.

You may not return to your regularly scheduled hysteria and spinning.
