As predicted by me and others the lukewarm demand for the SEC Network continues.

http://www.teamspeedkills.com/2014/2...twork-carriage

You don't even read the damn articles you post.

Another lying inaccurate post by Hypocritson.

The quote above from the article shows how much of a lying troll Bambi is.

Lying? They aren't going to carry this network.

Not saying the network isn't going to launch…it is. My point is about the unrealistic payouts Clay Travis has been talking about.

There simply aren't the large markets in the south to command such a price.

Another lie...Direct TV has not officially stated they are not carrying the network. The article clearly states that DirectTV is positioning for negotiations TO CARRY the network.

So you are either stupid or a liar...take your pick.

Exactly. They aren't going to get their price.

The response has been lukewarm.

Not sure why you aren't getting this.

There is nothing in the article that says they are not going to get their price. Just because DirectTV is going to try to negotiate a cheaper price (which any business in its right mind would do), does not mean they will be successful.

The twitter explosion alone over the possibility of them not carrying the SEC network shows your initial point is invalid.

Not sure why you aren't getting this.

Sure thing, you better get to writing.

Not sure what your point is...should the SEC not be allowed to market its network?

how the hell are you trolling with the double abortion of the jayhawk network and the big 12 network still dripping off the doctors rusty hanger

LMAO

I need a lot more proof than one dumbass on Tigerboard who could a KU fan in disguise.

You truely continue to prove how much of an idiot you are with each day, congrats that is something difficult to accomplish.

Want to put your money where your mouth is? How about $1000?

Again, KU doesn't want a conference network because they have substantial Tier 3 revenue that they don't have to share, while getting an equal cut of all the football revenue that we don't really generate for the league.

To the computers it's Gayhawk gametime!!!/Beakerbitch

What a network ROFL

You might want to check on the value of MU vs KU.

It's not even close.

That the SEC network doesn't get $1.30 per subscriber?

Sure I'll take that bet. PM me your info. I like money.

Sorry a team with that logo is worth jack shit

A top 5 finish in football is worth more than anything accomplished in hoops. You know it. Would have got a banner in that shit sport. Hoooooray 4th place!!!!

The default Final Four is the BCS. Elite programs have both.

Shit programs have neither.

When you are one win away from the title game, you are in the final four. Spin it however you want. No one equates a basketball final four with a BCS Bowl but you.


Playing for the SEC Championship and being one win away from the NC game is more prestigious than a BCS Bowl against Northern Illinois.

Find it interesting that you find a final four in football to be nothing, but you sure do love those KU final four years...how is that you can be one game away from a championship in football, and have that season be a "failure", yet lose in the final four, and brag about how great you are the rest of the year?

Wait...its Hypocritson..that explains a lot of it.

The BCS bowl smack from 7 years ago would mean a lot more if the rest of the school's modern football history wasn't an uninterrupted stream of liquid stool

It's a fairly simple comparison. BCS bowls generate advertising revenue, tv ratings, and much more prestige than any of the other bowls.

Final Fours are similar in scope. The ratings and dollars associated with the FF prove this without a doubt.

And unfortunately for you mizzou would not have made the NCG even if they would have beat Auburn. Alabama would have. Bama owns you just like Bevo did.

It's incredibly difficult to do both. Schools like Florida, Kansas, and Ohio State have all seen dips in one sport or the other since reaching the highest of highs.

UF lost to a 1-AA this year, KU went winless in the Big 12 in 2012, OSU lost 5 of 6 games earlier this year. It's very hard to sustain success in both.

Talking out your ass per usual. Not a single projection you could find would have shown Bama making the NCG without even playing in the SEC Championship.

Hahahaha...you really are a funny troll LMAO

Sure they would have. They didn't play in the SEC Champ Game in 2011 and played for the NCG.

The SEC Champ is more of a sideshow than anything else. Alabama lost on a fluke play to Auburn which would have given them one loss just like Missouri. Alabama would have been in the game.

And they would have got their shit pushed in just like Auburn did.

To get back on (off?) topic, there's a bunch of Internet chatter saying James Madison will announce full MAC membership as soon as next week. They have a 25,000 seat football stadium and new head coach Everett Withers was the DC at Minnesota, North Carolina and Ohio State within the last 10 years.

What is trolling? Did Florida not win the NC in Basketball and Football a few years ago?

Did they not lose to a 1-AA this year?

You just compared KU to Florida and Ohio St as a school with significance in two sports. That's hilarious.

Huh? You had a chance to advance to a football Final 4....and got shit pushed in by MU. In no realm is fluke fruit bowl a semi final game.

Who did they play in that NCG, Bambi? I can't remember.

Comparing the buckled beak to true duel sport powers like OSU and Florida is hilarious.

Neither do I. I think it was the lowest rated NCG ever. But I could be wrong.

Had nothing to do with the switch to cable i am sure

For the pedestal ku fans put their basketball program on (comparing it to Kentucky, UNC, Duke, etc.), they sure aren't anywhere near the amount of championships.

ESPN U will be showing the Texas vs kansas big 12 showdown!

ESPN U is an add on channel

Mizzou vs Bama is on espn2

I don't understand the scheduling thing.

Ouch!

It's tough when you're everyone's Super Bowl.

Also I don't recall seeing any of those teams in the BCS. But I could be wrong.

You are the only one that cares a out a non championships BS game. There is no difference at all between a fruit and cotton bowl....none

Is KU going to play on a non add on channel tonight?

I can't find any info except espn u which is meh

Do you have a point with this nonsense?

No? Okay.

Three isn't close to 4 or 5?

Or, as far as caring about actually watching a team win a NC, 2 in the last ~30 years isn't close to 3 or 4 (and only Duke has 4).

Weird.

Yes, I don't have the additional channels on my cable package. I guess the jayhawk network / big 12 network won't broadcast on the local channels tonight?

And you care to watch the game so much because?

It will likely decide the conference title :shrug:

I will be watching the Syracuse v duke game mostly anyway

Why don't you include UCLA in your 2 sport dominant list, Bambi? They're certainly WAY more deserving than KU. Or Wisconsin, Syracuse, Michigan, Stanford, California, Cincinnati, Maryland, Michigan St, Connecticut, Louisville, etc. The list goes on. Especially when your criteria is a national championship in basketball and a measly BCS game appearance. Not a BCS champion. Not a national champion before the BCS was created 20 years ago.

Kansas is a top 10 basketball program in the history of the sport. Maybe even top 5. Nobody will argue that. But you're NOT a two sport school. Stop lying to yourself that you are. And I wouldn't consider some of those listed above that term either.

Auburn got its "shit pushed in?"

I like this blake. Quality work sir. Some gold in there.

Duh. They lost the lead and the game with 13 seconds left on the clock. 13 seconds is about how long Bambi can hold an erection.

Saul needs to come back so I can leave this abortion

Florida, Kansas, and Ohio State were just three schools off the top of my head. Of course there are others.

But my point still stands, I see lots of lulls in your list…. Michigan lost to a 1-AA, Cal was 1-11 this year in football, Connecticut played in the BCS but didn't win (far below what Kansas accomplished)...

You don't contribute anything. All you do is talk shit and call people names. You're no better than a 12 year old.

Leave.

Bahaha

And KU lost to TCU last year, who had the 237th ranked RPI and were in the 300's in regards to scoring offense and defense. What's your point? That one bad loss in either sport somehow disqualifies that school from being considered a juggernaut? Just stupid. Stop trying.

Kansas doesn't sniff either of your examples jock's when it comes to two sport relevance. And honestly very few if any of the others.

One trick pony in a sport no one cares about. Going around calling themselves kings is creepy as all hell too.

Ironic coming from you.

So did Bammy give Mizzou a Standing O today in Tuscaloosa?

It's on espn 2 so you could actually watch it :shrug:

More people care about CBB than CFB. The ad revenue proves it.

Actually, let me rephrase that.

More people who advertisers value care about CBB than CFB. The ad revenue proves it.

Why would espn put Texas v Kansas on its bastard channel

I thought it was only because they were playing tcu last time but I guess it's kansas

Ad revenue is higher based on volume of games

I can't even imagine watching an entire SEC basketball game.

Since you won't be getting the kansas game without adding its shithole channel espn u you might need something to do :shrug:

Big 12 title is being decided by two ranked teams

Find a stream and you can see it too!

Don't confuse him, that involves math.

LMAO

You don't get ESPN U? On mine is smack dab in between the NFL Network and NBATV.

You might want to think about upgrading.

It's on my tv so I don't know what you're referring to.

pay up suckers

I would hope so. There are like 100 times more games....and we have been through this before dumb****....people have office pools on the line. Quite the racket.

Gayhawk game? To the computers! !!!!!!

Two top 5 teams and this game is just awful....what a sport

Baseball teams play 162 games a year. CBB ad revenue is higher.

But hey…math right?

Math

How many baseball games are played total vs total number of cbb games :shrug:

Waaaay more cbb teams creates way more games and more advertising ops
