Yeah. It almost got half the Alabama aTm rating...but this conversation is about Texas no longer being the main event in Texas college football.

The Johnny Longhorn thing is kind of funny...but not for the reason you intended. He wanted to play QB at Texas, but they wanted him to play Safety, so he went to aTm. Back when he was recruited, Texas was still the biggest show in town. With all of their resources and power, they weren't smart enough to identify the best QB ever to play college football. Oops...glad we aren't in the conference they are running anymore. Mostly, they're just running it into the ground.

Full list of TV ratings for each program here:
http://www.goodbullhunting.com/2013/...as-am-missouri Mizzou was 21st in the country. Big 12 had the worst TV ratings of any power conference. ![]() |

Rather than buy into the idea of a conference network, they decided to go rogue. In so doing, they drove four original members out of the conference with the LHN being the final straw. They also put three games on a channel that next to nobody has...even in Texas, effectively blacking out a quarter of their games. Since then, aTm has captured the casual fans in Texas with JFF winning the Heisman. Nebraska fans watched their team win their division in the B1G. The 16,000,000 eyeballs in Missouri couldn't care less about a mediocre Texas team when their team is tearing it up in the SEC. Meanwhile, the Horns kicked off the season with blowout losses to BYU and Ole Miss. (Word to the wise: when you're trying to convince the country that your conference is a comparable product to the SEC, don't have your flagship program get blown out...at home, no less...to a perennial SEC doormat...and then let that flagship team turn around and go 7-1 in conference...with a backup QB...and after replacing their DC midseason with a guy who hadn't coached anything in years.) But wait...there's more. They decided to replace their aTm rivalry game with a matchup on Thanksgiving...against...wait for it...TCU. When I think of people in the Lone Star State watching football on Thanksgiving, I think TCU. Who's with me? Suffice it to say, it...did not go well. You know the Big 12 is in trouble when the highest rated game of the conference season involves teams from Texas and Oklahoma...and involves neither the Longhorns nor the Sooners.

I also left out their 0.0 against NMSU. I think the point still stands.

I wonder how many Big 12 games Georgia fans DVRd. (Just kidding...everyone knows the answer is zero. Nobody watches Big 12 games live. They sure as hell don't record them to watch again later.)

How on Earth does the Big 12 keep landing massive network deals when no one watches the games?
It's insanity I tell you. |
