Ole Miss’ Sept. 14 football game at Texas will kick off at 7 p.m. CT and will be televised by the Longhorn Network.
As a Big 12 home game, TV distribution is determined by that conference and not the SEC. However, ESPN and Ole Miss are working on accommodations for Rebel fans without access to LHN.

Well that sucks for everyone except the 40 people with the LHN. That effectively blocks the game from most of the SEC, and darn near all of the Ole Miss fan base.

Normally a deal is made for ota local lor cable channel coverage in the visiting teams market.

RSN, conference, league and Individual team channels make It very hard to get interested anymore. All these sports nets should just start their own national cable/sat service and be done with it.

I believe this is someone else's property now. Didn't he trade this ring for tattoo's? I didn't follow the scandal with Pryor and Tressel that close.

How do they lose that much money? If it says in the link I can't see it due to being blocked at work.

They only sold less than 7000 out of their 17500 ticket allotment.

Aggies athletic director gigs Tide with lunar jab

http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsport...s-athletic-director-gigs-tide-with-lunar-jab/

Speaking at the Brazos County A&M Club Coach’s Night, athletic director Eric Hyman, well, went here:

“What does the moon and Texas A&M have in common?” Hyman said, setting up the obvious punchline, “we control the Tide.” :doh: :haha

Check out the weight of this 6 foot 5 inch defensive end "rocket scientist." Hint,he's going to need to make (a lot) more trips to Popeye's,KFC,Church's Chicken,Chick-fil-A,Bojangles,etc. if he wants to remain a defensive end.

Top DE recruit commits to South Carolina because of classes where ‘you have to try to fail’

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/highs...carolina-because-classes-where-091739231.html

As first reported by Palmetto Sports and brought to Prep Rally’s attention by The Big Lead, Key, a rising junior defensive end Lithonia (Ga.) High, cited USC’s coaching staff as a key reason why he committed to the Gamecocks rather than in-state power Georgia. Yet, he also said that the school’s ability to create an easy road for its athletes as a key reason why he wanted to head to Columbia.
"The academic part, it's like you have to try to fail," Key told Palmetto Sports.

LOL

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf...ege-station-tweet-over-parking-194440027.html

I wasn't particularly fond of the parking cops when I was in college. I felt there had to be something better for the police force to do than wait for the moment a meter expired to charge a broke college student with a parking ticket. I would get irrationally angry about it. Most of us have probably been there, in some form or another.
Johnny Manziel was there in the early morning hours on Sunday. He was reportedly angry about a parking ticket. And he sent out a vague tweet about it, saying he couldn't wait to leave College Station. And that tweet, without its proper context, set of another round of criticism of Manziel and whether he's a spoiled brat, superstar who needs to step away from Twitter, the next Maurice Clarett or just a college kid who is being scrutinized too much for basically being a college kid.

They really need to keep this kid away from social media. He has come across as a spoiled brat several times lately.

 

[osu1991]

Too late. Thats why I didnt post anything about this goofball a few days ago when it was first reported.

He will be lucky to still be playing football by the time the season starts at the rate he is going.

Big 12's nonconference schedule worst among BCS leagues

http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-fo...nconference-schedule-bcs-games-oklahoma-texas

Maybe there really is something to this propaganda thing Bob Stoops mentioned earlier this summer.
In this case, watch this hand while the other does something else.

Stoops complained about the SEC’s lack of depth and said “propaganda” was the reason for many believe it to be the deepest conference in college football. He even got a couple of Big 12 coaches—Mack Brown and Charlie Weis—to join the argument.
Meanwhile, the Big 12 enters this season with the worst—and it’s not close—nonconference schedule of the six BCS conferences. In other words, an easier path to success.
There’s Oklahoma at Notre Dame and TCU vs. LSU—and that’s about it. Remember that in December when you’re debating which conference is strongest.
