When Texas A&M left the Big 12 to join the Southeastern Conference, most college football observers assumed the Aggies were destined to languish in mediocrity. Yet, on-field competition would pale in comparison to the hurdles the Aggies had already overcome to make the move. In exclusive interviews, SEC Ready, the first feature film from TexAgs Films, recounts the politics, negotiations and broken promises that led A&M to the SEC. Once there, the Aggies defied doubters, went toe-to-toe with college football’s elite and proved they were SEC Ready. 

Among those interviewed for the film include: 
  • Dr. R. Bowen Loftin, Former President, Texas A&M University
  • Rusty Burson, Texas A&M Historian/Author
  • Billy Liucci, Owner/Executive Editor, TexAgs.com
  • Jason Cook, Sr. Associate Athletic Director, Texas A&M University
  • Jim Wilson, Former Texas A&M Regent
  • Kirk Bohls, Austin American-Statesman Columnist
  • Mike Slive, SEC Commissioner
  • Andy Staples, Sports Illustrated Senior Writer
  • Clay Travis, Fox Sports Writer/TV Analyst
  • Sean Porter, NFL Linebacker, Former Texas A&M Captain
  • Gene Stallings, Former Texas A&M Head Football Coach
  • Phil Adams, Chairman, Texas A&M Board of Regents
  • Cliff Thomas, Texas A&M Regent
  • John Sharp, Chancellor, Texas A&M
Directed by Lindsay Crouch and Andrew Cagle and produced by Brandon Jones, SEC Ready is available for $24.95, plus shipping. The package includes a Blu-ray, DVD and access to an online version of the film at TexAgs.com.

If you elect to apply the online streaming code to your account during checkout, then you will have immediate access to the streaming version of the film at texags.com/SECReadyFilm. Otherwise, you will receive a code on your email receipt that you can redeem at texags.com/store/redeem. Once the code is redeemed, you will have access to the streaming version.

Get your popcorn (SEC) ready.

ok, because the info page says
quote:
After purchasing, you will receive a code on your email receipt that you can redeem at texags.com/store/redeem. This will give you access to the online stream of the film when it is made available on Monday, October 13th at noon (CT).

so i think there's some confusion on whether it's just a stream that you have to view in a browser (like Netflix or Hulu), or if it's an actual file that we can download, put on phones/tablets, and watch offline.

Sorry for the confusion, cozart. There's no download, it's access to a streaming version of the film that you'll be able to watch on TexAgs.com.

I am excited for the film but it does kind of suck that we wont be able to load it onto our devices for flights and even on the road I Imagine that it takes a lot of data to stream it which sucks for users on lower tiered data plans.

I don't usually say this but I'd pay extra if this was available for download, iTunes, etc.

I'd love to buy just the digital download, but having that option decreases sales of the discs and profits, so I get why it's not offered.

The title is kind of humorous.

When my kids say they are ready after a couple of hours later I consider them late. A couple of seasons later....

Sounds like building chumpions. Marketing hype always leading to the echoes of silence bouncing off of the walls.

I can't access the streaming video either. I've put in my code using the link I got and I get a "general error". Sent an email off to TXAgs.
