No matter how things shake out during this possible realignment. I just hope Alden doesn't embarrass Mizzou like he has a track record of doing.

If someone on twitter is saying it, I can guarantee it's not true.

Talking Points | Just how many TVs will get the Longhorn Network in Texas?

Here’s the thing about that Longhorn Network that appears to be ready to drive Texas A&M from the Big 12.

At this point, no one in the (self-proclaimed great) state of Texas is scheduled to be able to watch it.

According to the Dallas Morning News, the Longhorn Network is still looking for carrier, which is odd since it is set to launch on Aug. 26. Not one cable, satellite or telecom carrier has stepped forward to sign on.

Apparently, Time Warner is the No. 1 carrier in Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio and Austin, according to the Morning News. Comcast is No. 1 in Houston, where Time Warner isn't a player.


As we know around here, Time Warner will stick to its guns if it doesn't like the deal a network is proposing. That's why many people in Kansas City don't get the NFL Network.

A funny note in that article pointed out that if a deal is reached, it's possible there will be a rate hike for carriers that pick up the Longhorn Network. How'd you like to work at Time-Warner in Texas and get a call from an A&M fan wanting to know why his cable costs more because of the Longhorn Network.

Sometimes these cable deals come down to last-minute deals, so here's guessing that some carrier will get the Longhorn Network when it launches in less than two weeks.

But wouldn't it be something if no one did? Then this whole A&M to the SEC mess would be for nothing. Even better would be the embarrassment it would cause the Longhorns.

If this all goes down, my only hope is that One4Thirteen doesn't anchor us down to some middling conference.

No way I'm going to get all worked up over this after last year.

I would hate to be in the SEC. We'd probably never see ten wins again in football. We might do ok in basketball, but now that they have Haith they'd probably get owned in basketball too.

It's not what they have done, it's what they can do. aTm leaves for the SEC it breaks open the door for the SEC on the Texas recruiting area for them.

And Texas sure as hell doesn't want that to happen.

Disagree about football. I'm not saying Mizzou would light the world on fire their first few seasons in the SEC, but they could beat Vandy, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia etc.

Bull shit. If Arkansas can compete in the SEC. Then Missouri can to.
If I was Missouri fan.I would be licking my chops at this opportunity.
Is it a step up? Ya it is,& its the right step at the right time,& thats the best part about it if your a Tiger fan.
EDIT I would have my ADs head chopped off if he ****ed this opportunity up.

I agree 100%.

It would be fun to shove it down Anderson's throat at least once a season in basketball.

:)

I'd love it, which is why it probably won't happen.

With Frank Haith? Good luck, bud.

Haith is a better recruiter than Anderson will ever be. The big question mark about Haith is his in game coaching.

just a small part of the equation, no?
