It is listed as a channel on U-verse, and I have the sports extra programming. Still nothing.

What an Epic Fail.

lol, SEC Network...

biggest fail in the history of sport

DirecTV is the only major national carrier left. They might not cave, it's hard to say.

Disagree. They just about have to cave to compete with Dish.

hell yes, I've got .$25 a month

What exactly does someone get for that? Aren't all the big games already free on CBS? I'm just wondering what games are on this that arne't already on the free channels. People can't be paying to see Miss State vs. Vandy.

I'm not sure it matters; the people are paying anyway.

I love the Big Ten network for secondary sports and game replays. SEC doesn't have wrestling, so that's out, but it'll be nice to watch the library of old games, especially since so many are in the league.

Apologies again for my shoddy memory, even though it's immensely difficult to tell you two knob-slobbers apart, but what exactly was the argument from your side in regards to the SEC network?

I'm sure it might've changed a time or two, but if I recall correctly it was either

1) it wouldn't get picked up by all the networks or have the coverage it's already locked up

OR

2) the $1.30 asking price was laughable and they'd settle somewhere much lower since they were CRAZY to expect that much


Help me out here.

Maybe MU-KU will be on. Remember, Norm was honored as a "Legend of the SEC". I wish I was kidding:

PB loathes Mizzou so much he lives in missouri and spends all his time searching for Mizzou info on the internet. The KU fan hood is just a cover, he is more gay for Mizzou than mike sam ROFL ROFL

Yeah it sucks to be in the SEC. :)

WONDER TWIN POWERS, ACTIVATE!!!

http://twinningfortwins.files.wordpr...activate-o.gif

"Form of......a BUTTHURT KNOB!!"

"Shape of......a BUCKET FULL OF ****!!"

The $1.30 rate was originally billed as the price for all subscribers. At least that's how I understood it.

Now that we've realized that wasn't the case I'll gladly pay $0.25 for the SEC Network.

Is it as good as getting all KU sports for free through Time Warner? No, but it's pretty nice.

The $1.30 rate is insane. Anyone who's paying $1.30 a month to watch games featuring low level SEC schools like Mississippi State, Missouri, and Vanderbuilt needs to have their head examined. But I suppose all alums are entitled to watch their own programs...

Wrong again...The $1.30 or so rate was for within the footprint the lower rates is/was for outside the SEC footprint. This has been posted on sites prior to these cable companies signing on.

The argument is all about whether it's better to be in the Big ? than in the SEC (LMAO).

One front in this war was that the money isn't really that great in the SEC, because the Big ?'s (new) media contract came close to the SEC's old one. The counterpoint to that was "We'll see what the money is like in the SEC once the TV deals are renegotiated", and "The Big 12 doesn't even have a network". The counterpunch to that was "Well, your network is barely going to be on any TVs." This puts the lie to that. The SEC is approaching the point where they have every game nationally televised, at least on cable.

Who wants to turn away from a great train wreck? "Norm Stewart: legend of the SEC". Truly one of mizzous great moments.

So how much bitching will KU fans make about this

Oh noes. Not $1.30 a month...

The only time they will ever sniff airtime on the number one college sports station ROFL

Don't sleep on the Cyclones
Fred Hoiberg has the talent to contend for a Final Four berth at Iowa State

Fred Hoiberg has transformed Iowa State into a contender in the Big 12.
When you think of the Big 12, the first name that comes to mind is Kansas. Bill Self's program has dominated the conference, with 10 consecutive Big 12 regular-season titles.

Let me tell you, another Big 12 school has put together an impressive run. Look at what has happened down in Ames, Iowa. Fred Hoiberg was known as "The Mayor" when he played at Iowa State. As coach of the Cyclones, he should be called "The Governor" for what he has accomplished.

Iowa State has been consistent over the last three seasons. The Cyclones have won at least 23 games in each of those seasons, including 28 last season, when the team reached the Sweet 16. Iowa State has won at least 11 conference games and an NCAA tournament game in each of those three years. Hoiberg has built a winner.

He is so popular since taking over the coaching duties at his alma mater. Hoiberg was the perfect choice because he is so passionate, and he does a super job conveying his concepts and thoughts to his players.

Hoiberg has gone through his own challenge -- he's doing well after recently having a pacemaker replaced. Hoiberg first had a pacemaker installed when he had a rare complication during surgery for an aortic root aneurysm.

After a successful NBA career as a player, Hoiberg has had opportunities to return to the sidelines in the pros. The Cyclones' success and the recent trend of college coaches made him one of the hot names for NBA openings. But he's said that he's happy at Iowa State.

He also had opportunities to be a star college quarterback out of high school. But the Ames, Iowa, native preferred to stay at home and play hoops, and he was happy to come back to coach his alma mater. He was a big star who loved the area. He met his wife there.

I really enjoyed my first journey to Hilton Coliseum during the 2013-14 season. I could feel the Hilton Magic; the Cyclones beat Michigan, Iowa and BYU there en route to a 15-1 home record, with the lone loss against Kansas. Hoiberg's team was a legitimate Final Four contender, but a tough break hampered those chances when Georges Niang suffered a broken foot against NC Central in the Cyclones' NCAA tournament opener. The Cyclones lost to eventual champion Connecticut at Madison Square Garden in the Sweet 16.

Niang will be back this season as the Cyclones look ready to extend their 20-win streak to four seasons. Hoiberg lost a lot of talent as Big 12 Player of the Year Melvin Ejim and guard DeAndre Kane are gone. But Hoiberg does have veteran talent returning in forward Dustin Hogue and guards Monte Morris and Naz Long.

Once again, help will come in the form of a transfer with immediate eligibility. Last season, it was Kane who arrived from Marshall and made a difference. This season, Bryce Dejean-Jones arrives from UNLV and can play right away, as he's graduated with eligibility remaining. The Cyclones have another transfer waiting in the wings: Guard Hallice Cooke, a transfer from Oregon State, will sit out this season and be eligible in 2015-16.

Hoiberg has this program going in a positive direction and the future is bright. Expect more Hilton magic this upcoming season.

KU will be on the SEC Network!

http://southernpigskin.com/sec/sec-n...rst-two-weeks/

LMAO

Mizzou has 3 out of their 4 classic games vs big 12 opponents

A&M has 0 LMAO

2013 South Carolina at Missouri Wed. 8/27 (12 p.m. ET).. ugh that game. ATM is all Johnny Football, all the time.

The shaw shank redemption :cuss:

Bwahahahaha! Even in Missouri's finest year they are bested by Kansas.

You can't make it up.

http://worldonline.media.clients.ell...6f48523261b548

Huh? I thought Missouri won that game against Kansas??

Oh, you mean the ticket-guarantee victory against Mizzou. Congrats on the AD win. Your program should be proud.

That would be the PAC 12 Network.

What happened to that AD?

Didn't he die?

Tickets?

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/P-1CdnLCUoY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

According to wikipedia he is still alive. He also got $2.6 million, some exercise equipment and a year long vacation for his part in the ticket scandal while everyone else went to prison.

Cool highlight, bro.

What exactly does the 2008 game between Mizzou and Kansas have to do with the 2007 season??

You try and steal from KU you get put in your place.

The Orange Bowl committee knew who the better team was going forward?

:shrug:

Apparently not. One team has consistently been improving, the other just replaces coaches and still sucks.

Lol

Yeah, that really proved itself out on the field over the next several years, didn't it? What is KU's overall record since the Orange Bowl win??

Nice pick, Orange Bowl committee.

They really nailed that one.

I was totally kidding about SEC Net showing KU games. But wow. Just.....WOW. It's so pathetic I'm not even laughing at that one even though I should.

Do you really want to compare programs since the 2007 game?

You really are a dumbass. ROFL

Lol. Sure thing guy.

I was just talking about the next year when Kansas defeated Missouri. Obviously Mizzou has a better team right now.

They didn't go to prison?

Not all.

oh-kay…

LMAO

http://www2.kusports.com/news/2013/a...-tickets-case/

Only a matter of time until the University gets it all back. Damn, prison and your finances destroyed.

ouch…

http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2012/ma...ticket-scheme/

At first it sounded like .25/mo was a ripoff but now that KU games will be shown I guess that makes it much more appealing.

too bad it's a pretty short list when it comes to mu wins over Kansas.

50% football games and about 36% of basketball games.

Well who WOULDN'T want to throw in a quarter to watch KU get humiliated?

I mean, I watch KU get its ass kicked on this thread for free and it's pretty cool. For a couple of bucks I can watch KU go down to Mizzou on the football field? Hell yeah!

I don't know; ku will literally lay down for anyone. They would get up for Mizzou, but they have seemingly stopped caring since MU left the conference. Pick a random Saturday in the fall and you can likely watch ku lose.

That's the only way you will see KU football is by watching them get beat by a team that left them for a better conference on that network.

ouch…

“I like Kansas — basketball,” Nelly told ESPN’s Brett McMurphy on Thursday, while visiting ESPN’s studios in Bristol, Conn.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BtUvswkIcAACCrd.jpg

Agreed. You could pick any of the 120 matchups in football and have a 50-50 chance of seeing an MU win

Why 'ouch'?

I like how you cherry picked the Kansas line and didn't bother including the rest of the quote.


Typical.

I will look forward to the SEC network's mu classic basketball games come the winter. Should be some entertaining ones.

What's the rest of the quote? That he likes MU football? Yes…we know. That's what makes it funny. LMAO

Kansas is so irrelevant this time of year

The troll twins might starve to death before midnight at the fog . Luckily the parasites can live off the host Mizzou hilarious ROFL

It's hilarious how much space we occupy in their heads. This thread would be dead a long long time ago if it wasn't for them.

holy 1990's, time to update the logo fellas

MU is only popular in the gay community now. (And most of central Missouri)

Two communities you belong to :shrug:

yep…

Iowa State pulls in a LB from Olathe. Offers from Mu, KU, and KSU among others.

Good pick up for the conference's worst rated recruiting team.

Lol we are getting better at recruiting... Eye popping stat I seen the other day. When CPR took over at Iowa State he only had 12(12!) guys who could squat over 500 pounds. Right now he has over 50 guys that can do that. There's a lot of young potential on the team. A hell of a lot more height, strength, and speed than there was before Rhoads.

Phew, thanks for the Iowa State updates. I'm sure everyone is excited to see if they can climb to the top of the four turds at the bottom of that conference. :Poke:

Missouri discussed here as well. Missouri is also ranked last or next to last in their conference in recruiting. I wouldn't focus too negatively on Iowa State if I was in that position.

Anytime bruh.

Meh, most people care more about winning games in the conference than they do about the conference's recruiting class rankings.

I'm not sure which of the contenders will end up winning the fourth-from-the-bottom-of-the-Big (12-2) title this year, be it ISU, WVU, TCU or KU, but the winner should get something. Perhaps a golden dung beetle?

Most of the college football discussed in this thread and on this board is of the mediocre variety. Missouri Football is no different.

Ex-lineman accused of swiping autographed baseballs
Updated: July 14, 2005, 8:14 PM ET
Associated Press

MANHATTAN, Kan. -- A former Kansas State offensive lineman was charged with stealing autographed baseballs bearing the signatures of such New York Yankees greats as Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio from coach Bill Snyder's home.

Chris Boggas, 23, was arrested Wednesday. He remained in jail Thursday, on $10,000 bond for a felony theft charge, and was scheduled to make his first court appearance Friday.

Riley County Police Lt. Tim Hegarty said the six baseballs stolen from Snyder's home were signed by Mantle, DiMaggio, Whitey Ford, Paul O'Neill, Phil Rizzuto and Yogi Berra.

Snyder's a Yankee fan?

Damn, it took all this time but you made a post in one of these threads that I can make no argument with. :doh!:

Apparently. And a fan of players robbing him.

Chris Boggas and a ten year old article and linking that to "attention to detail"? Awesome. Thankfully he didn't throw him into the medieval castle/stadium/gulag.
