Is this the "news"? Prepare for the 2011 game on loop.

They are the alpha dog. They have their own network. Too bad it's a patched together piece of crap that ESPN is running like the Cleveland Indians in Major League now. Wonder if announcerless games are next.

Pretty soon, they're going to be doing the play by play from a studio with a video feed piped in, like they do for Mexican soccer games.

Recruits can still take pictures in there much like children taking pics in the fake environments in the children's museum

Will the first BDF championship game be on the LHN or will they wait a year?

Didn't Charles just tell us the SECN was in dire straits and the LHN was basically getting money for nothing?

If only there was a discussion forum somewhere on the internet that had older, wiser land grant university grads who possess the real world experience to foresee these kind of pitfalls and share their big brother's perspective and wisdom with the little brother sips.

If only.

Texas is dangerous now.

Think about it. Texas is now realizing the feces is going to hit oscillator and ESPN could care less about the LHN. Perrin has to think what is Texas going to do should Disney pull the trigger on ESPN by selling the network.

Back channels are being activated and Texas is looking for a place to land. If I was any AD in the Big 12, I would start looking for crash landing. Kansas and Iowa State are the most attractive since they both have AAU status.
The rest are screwed.

The B1G and SEC are set and I really don't see any school in the Big 12 being a quality addition to either conference since both conferences already have the TV markets.

Interesting times are a coming.

Roll Tide.

Not to give them any ideas that may work, but why not do a big 12/college football radio show on the LHN like the SECN does with Finebaum with ESPN's Austin radio station?

So thats about 437.5 hours........in a year.

2.5 hours for each event (some 2 hours, some 3)

There are 8760 hours in a year.....so about 5% of their airtime is LIVE!!!!!!!

Gotta assume LIVE means previously LIVE.....
So that means the 2011 non-rivalry game will run for about 7000 hours and a few other "wins" on replay.

The best part is that the longer Chuckles is there, the older and less relevant the replays they show will get. He has given them absolutely nothing to pound their chests about. Pretty soon, the majority of their content will be replays that ocurred before most current recruits entered middle school.

Has Ketch weighed in on the subject?

Sixty minutes ago from 247sip reporter Chris Hummer, a longhorn grad:
quote:
Longhorn Network, which shows two football games per year along with many basketball, baseball, softball and volleyball events, reportedly lost $48 million in the first five years of its operation. It's not clear if this move is aimed at cutting costs
The LHN has been averaging $9,600,000 per year in losses in its first 5 years. Yet he's unsure "if this move is aimed at cutting costs".

Right after they figure out that guy in Florida's motive, they're going to move on to this question.

Sippy has a silver lining for when the plug is pulled on the LHN. It will not cost much to buy their rights back from IMG.
