I'll be the first to admit that I don't know if we could... but it is a thought since ESPN (i'll just call them TESPN since they're so up texas' butt) has been bashing A&M over and over again today

Meh. We're already winning the PR battle. They've pressed too hard and most of the country knows their partnership with Texas. It's borderline satire at this point.

Not worth it. Slive will bend them over now that the contract is up for renegotiation.

Guys relax. Let the nuts over in Austin worry about frivolous lawsuits.

We know ESPN can't be impartial. And I think anyone with any common sense knows this too. In a few months, this will have all blown over.

If they continue to bash us after all of this, then they will end up making an enemy of everyone in the SEC and look pretty petty doing it. After all, they own the second tier rights to the SEC. No sense ticking off the SEC when FOX or NBC would be happy to buy the TV rights in the future.

They haven't said anything that can be proven both incorrect and malicious that I have seen. It's unfair and biased journalism, but not to the point of slander. Dont get me wrong, I'd love to take the b@stards down if we get a chance.

I'd say it is satire at this point.

Like everyone else my phone has been blowing up today. Lets remember this.

1). EsipN is bias towards the sips.
2). Majority of people in Texas are partial to the sips.
3). The rest of the country is loving watching texas squirm like the little worms they are.

This is wishful thinking. Texas will have its choice of any conference it chooses, LHN or not.

Wrong. Several already have stated the lhn is a non-starter for their conference. But thanks for visiting sip troll.

Johnny, tell him what he's won!

Just like the LHN will have its choice of carriers. Who's carrying it again?

At least the college football world now sees the sips for the scum they are. We are getting tons of support from around the college football world.
Most wonder how we have tolerated their arrogance as long as we have. My reply is that we love an easy "W".

I just read the Forde article on ESPN. I have seen some slanted pieces in my life, but this was overtly blatant and obvious trolling by one of the lead guys for ESPN.

Pretty sad and pathetic that they allowed him to write that garbage.

I hate the off season.

Precisely what material damages have we suffered?

Wake up Winger. UT is just table scraps. Everyone knows TAMU is the real prize.

Not slander, shareholder derivative suit. They have yet to disclose their ownership of the LHN when reporting on this story. That is an omission that they have a financial stake in the outcome. Stock manipulation with insider status. Ooops.

Sadly, well, actually happily, I don't own stock in that particular company, so I don't have standing.

It's been awhile for me, but any Securities and Exchange Commission lawyers out there? Is this allowed? When they have a financial stake?

No, you don't want to sue a media outlet. That's never a fair fight, and could not work out well for us, regardless of the court decision.

Right now, we are only in their sights because of circumstances. Next year we will be in the SEC, and as long as we win, all will be forgotten by the end of 2012. We may even become their Cinderella story, if they don't lose the bank over the LWN. But if we sue them, we can expect this kind of treatment until one of us is out of business.
