Longhorn Network's 5 New Shows: Why No One Will Watch Them

Ok, but look at the numbers. Take all of the people on all the UT message boards, how many is that, a few thousand? There are millions of UT fans. a few thousand out of a group of millions is a small minority.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm saying that anyone who is interested in the fans perspective will visit those message boards and that is the impression they will get.

And I know how TexAgs is. I am member, but mostly to help promote my A&M apparel business. The real scoop and the better A&M website is the Scout site - Websider.com

BTW, I will launching my TCU apparel website very soon - TCULocker.com

I suppose I will be getting a special deal, yes? :kitten:
 
What i find hilarious about this whole network situation is the fact Texas wins any way you evaluate it. A&M fans are ripping Texas with the assumption the school is worse off by accepting the deal. It's like ripping a Lamborghini owner for getting a flat tire.

ESPN is contractually obligated to pay Texas $300 million in any situation. They will have to settle with Texas if ESPN fails.

If that happens, Texas is ridiculously more attractive to advertisers and networks than any other school. The 2012 football budgets are as follows:

Texas: $153.5M
(Next biggest budget) Ohio St: $126.5M
That's a 21% increase over the #2 school.

70% increase over Oklahoma: $90.5M
102% increase over A&M: $75.8M

Next, does anyone truly believe that Texas wouldn't be accepted to the SEC if they were willing to accept the shared conference money? The SEC would do a Lebron type ESPN special allowing Mack Brown to decide which current team he would like to replace. A&M is acting as if they are doing something Texas couldn't.

Texas will come out of this as an independent or be forced to accept the same "mediocrity" revenue sharing in a BCS conference. The lose situation is still being #1.

Before the hate, no i'm not a Texas fan either, i just can't stand all the stupid comments. Hate on the fact they went 5-7 with that spending power instead.

Too bad it was on LHN, not many people saw it.

McConaughey video: ‘We deserve their best. They deserve ours.’

Not many have seen it yet, but Longhorns super fan Matthew McConaughey has recorded a short commercial that has been airing on the Longhorn Network.

It’s a shout-out to Texas fans to “show up, wear our colors, wave our flag, let them hear our noise, feel our energy, and share our spirit.” The full transcript ran in today’s paper as a letter to the Sports Editor.

Here’s the vid itself:

Went to the game this evening. When the Longhorn Network promo ran on the Mutombotron, there were a number of boo birds.
