Ha ha! High five brah! Of course, Missouri and Texas don't really scream out "southeast" to me either. SEC has to consider a name change now.

Didn't they? I know you didn't get a home and home with the south teams but you at least played everyone.

We did play everybody but a single with the south kind of sucked. As I recall the Big East had home/road round robin when they had 12 teams. Made it brutal, but it was better than playing East Tennessee.

Bambi: "The SEC Network payout isn't going to be anywhere near what the Clay Travis' of the world have been shouting about.Some of us knew this all along. Apparently Mizzou is just finding out."



Bambi: " The network is still begging cable companies to take them on and it's not happening. I'd run quick and sign the petition. Hurts doesn't it? To beg to get accepted somewhere and still find out you're worthless."



Bambi on 6/2: "And not to rub salt in the wounds but here are the (potential) total amount of subscribers currently for the SEC Network…



ATT U Verse : 5.7 million

Dish Netwok : about 15 million

Google Fiber : so low they won't even publish a number



Bambi on 6/23: "Nervousness spreading in the SEC over the lack of interest in the SEC Network."



Bambi on 6/26: "lol, SEC Network...



biggest fail in the history of sport"



Bambi on 6/26: "more nervousness



http://awfulannouncing.com/2014/sec-...ng-launch.html



The South is smaaaalllllll........."



Bambi on 6/30: "I just thought the $1.30 subscription fee was laughable (which it is) so it'll be interesting to see where they land when it comes to $$ per subscriber."



Bambi on 7/8: "When one of the top ten cable providers in America hasn't even heard of your network you might begin to think there's a problem."



Bambi on 7/8: "I've said from the beginning the SEC Network will eventually get picked up by networks which already have the Big 10 Network, the Pac 10 Network, etc...



Always said the joke was the price. And it is."



Bambi on 7/9: "RCN is a top 10 cable company in America that hadn't heard of the SEC Network. What a joke."



Prison Bitch on 1/8: "All the folks who love it (football) are in one quadrant of the country. Doesn't make it meaningless at all, but it does prove it's limited reach."



Prison Bitch on 1/7: "Outside the South, people simply don't care all that much about the sport."



Prison Bitch on 1/13: "I'm always fascinated MU fans still believe there's still going to be this earthquake explosion of revenues that'll make them (and the SEC) rich ad everyone else a pauper. As if the other major conferences would ever allow such a scenario to occur, or go along with it when they could simply band together and freeze out the SEC, leaving them awful non-con games and relegating them to a true Southern quadrant attraction. NASCAR already proved you can't subsist on that regional support alone. Realistically it's extremely doubtful TV will ever pay for one league to have a size able revenue gap."



In PB's defense, there wasn't a whole lot of quotable material predicting failure for the SEC network. A couple times he responded to Bambi about the $$ per subscriber being asinine...but he never really threw out the words fail or gave any certain # he thought would be realistic.



Then again, he hasn't posted much other than Michael Sam homophobe stuff since April and I kinda got bored sorting through all of that.

yea it's only .25 outside of the 11 states. $1.30 is only for within the footprint.

No it wasn't perfect like it is now so yes, another reason why 10 is better than 12.

That's your response for all of the complete fail a 5 second search found???

And if the answer is yes, what's your point?

You're on record saying that $1.30 was "laughable" and they'd never get that number. Or that they'd never get in the amount of households they inevitably ended up snagging.

FYI...it' reported that the $1.30 is actually wrong. Supposedly it's $1.40.

And for the record...I could really care less. More $$$ is always a good thing, but it doesn't mean shit in terms of anything FANS care about...whcih is winning. The entire purpose of this exercise IS and always HAS BEEN to refute the crap you post and show you what a moron you are. You make this job extremely simple.

I thought it was $1.30 for the entire country. When I found out it was just for the 11 states I stopped linking articles talking about the SEC Networks slow start.

I'm not sure what you're all pissy about. Well, maybe the fact that I'm going to get to watch the SEC Network for a quarter and you have to pay 500% of that cost. Who knows

Who knew… Missouri Football, a tradition since 2005?

This is a complete lie. The price within the footprint and outside the footprint has been openly discussed in this thread.

So, you are either a lying hypocrite, or a complete dumb ass who cannot read...which is it?

What's there to be pissy about? You talk out your ass non-stop and on occasion it's fun to put you in your place.

And I'm happy you'll get to watch it too, regardless of the price. Can't do anything but help Mizzou that we'll be available to 90M households throughout the country. You'll have to remind me how many people will be watching KU football games this year. I can start that estimate for you...roughly 20,000 Lawrence fans per home game.

All KU sports stream nationally.

Have for a couple years now through a deal signed with Time Warner and ESPN. It's KU's third tier deal which each school negotiates themselves.
