Yep, pretty dumb alright.
LOL. Wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't pointed it out. Also, that is one long ass time to wait to renegotiate the contract.
I have to figure, the yearly revenue scales up towards the end of the contract, or there's room to negotiate an increase at a later time. Or it's astronomical already, and dwarfs the speculated 25-30 mill per school.
- happy about this one
They are sticking with no info on subscriber cost, but ESPN says there's no cost directly at consumers, it's with the distributors. Which just means the cost of ESPN will go up for everyone. Thanks, America!
The SEC Network will be based in noted SEC stronghold Charlotte. - Crazy how the Network is based in a state that's outside the footprint :lol

Isn't ESPN already like $5+ per subscriber now?

So, it turns out the Gil Thorpe character from Modern Family played QB at Texas Tech. Booyah!

Took me completely by surprise when I hard it last night.
I know Texas Tech has had a whole bunch of TV writers in Hollywood. I guess there's a couple on that show.

I also was hoping to see some financial details of this but with the amount of content that will be on there you have to think it will be the biggest. Will be very interested to see how the negotiations go if they really can make it ubiquitous as espn(in market)/espnU(out of market). If they really make it national it would be a pretty big deal.
Sounds like there are 3 channels games will be on. ESPN, ESPNU, and SECN. I'd have to assume that any load on "ESPN" is actually divided up between ESPN and ESPN2.

Same article, but they've added more, especially in questions that happened after the Presser.
Did the LHN have High School games? Probably impossible to go through all the various rights to air HS games from 11 different states.
Nice to see that the SECN digital service/app will also show the CBS games (WatchESPN doesn't). Seems like there will be it's own "App", that's also available on XBox (like WatchESPN is now)
Seems like a dig at Cooking with Mack.
Bowl games and the SECCG (football) won't be on the SECN. They'll be on ESPN, CBS, etc.

I follow baseball and other sports via a CBS "Gamecocks All-Access" app. Very curious to see what will happen to that.

Mack Brown has a cooking show?
I think Mack Brown has several shows that air on the LHN, and they all involve him doing a variety of "homemaker" activities: cooking, sewing, crying because his husband is leaving him for someone younger and prettier. Things like that.

I feel like it would make more sense to "honor" the 2015 team or whatever since that would be the class going through all 4 years of bowl bans/sanctions. That is of course if you're going to do anything like that in the first place.

11W did some mockup suggestions for new OSU logos/unis.
I like them a lot, save for the black nameplates. The O logos are great.

I now know what croakies are! This thread is so educational.
Grantland's Timmy Chang All-Stars - Lovable/memorable college players that will never sniff a chance at a pro career.
Now, I have dozens of Alabama shirts, via always getting 4-8 every christmas, and I don't work in a posh law office like Advocate mre, so I've been on a constant rotation of Alabama shirts during the daytime, as well as wearing one of the dozen of Alabama hats I have (also given to me, on my Birthday).
But my car, still just a Black 2012 Chevy Cruze. One with a license plate and nothing else (except pollen, dust, and dead bugs). Never saw the point of bumper stickers (of any kind), and don't want to place a gawdy front bumper sign, either.

True story: I stayed w/ a friend in a Vandy dorm for an Ole Miss/Vandy football game once, and the residents wanted us to change the channel on the communal tv from a Miss. St.-LSU game to the World Series. Let that sink in. Granted this was back when Vandy went 2-9 every year.
I always thought baseball was just for little kids and old people. Apparently it's also for Vandy students too.
I like baseball but I only watch it if it's my team. I never watch the world series unless my team is in it. It's way too boring to watch if you have no vested interest.
It is somewhat. But I was talking about MLB not college. If the Vandy students mentioned above passed up a Miss State/LSU football game for the World Series, must have been MLB World Series.

Welp. Looking likely Penn St won't be returning to UCF in 2014. Sucks.
But in exchange the teams will likely end up in Ireland for the season opener. Guess Bill O'Brien and George O'Leary have a little bromance going on. Certainly a trip I'd consider. Never been to Europe...

The lesson is that pretty much all schools give their football teams gaudy shit for even the most trivial accomplishments.

In fairness, he's only a first-rounder in Jerry Jones' gin-hazed reality. (And I say that as a Cowboys fan desperate to have that guy pan out.)
Still cool that he's in your office...how do you miss a 300+ lb guy with a huge beard a few desks from you?
I guess I fell victim to my own stereotypes about football player academics.
I did see him around, but I didn't put 2 & 2 together because I didn't think a football player would be working in a computer engineering research lab. Apparently he was an Electrical Engineering and Math double-major, and smart enough to be recruited to do undergraduate research.

Was in Chicago this past weekend and on the train was talking with a couple auburn fans on their honey moon. Seemed like good folk, also I was drunk so that could have been an illusion.
From the UW Facebook page. It's gorgeous here, finally summer! Can't wait for football.
Also, the Seattle Times beat writer covering the Huskies is switching over to covering the Seahawks. Glad I'll still get to read his stuff (he's one of the best in the business, IMO), but sad he's leaving the college coverage. Wonder who they'll get to replace him.
Also, a bonus image (older obviously since the stadium is currently still under construction):
Matthew Thomas (linebacker) that committed to FSU for the 2013 season and is supposed to be playing this fall is asking them to release his commitment so he can go to Georgia or USC. Probably won't happen, but he claims that he didn't know where to go and his mom pressured him to go to FSU. I can't see how if he did stay at FSU that he would have a good time there after talking this poorly of the situation.
To be fair to FSU, it doesn't sound like it's anything against them, he just ended up going there by default. Sounds like he
