I'm going to have to find some place that has LHN. Thankfully it looks like the game vs WV is going to be on Fox. LHN has got to be the one of the dumbest moves UT has ever made.

You hate it until you have it... Now it's hard to imagine not having it :) It. Is. AWESOME. Even the stupid shows like Augie Garrido going to various restaurants around Austin is fun to watch. The only other game rumored to be on it this season is Iowa State.
Besides, it's a financial windfall for the university. $300M over 20 years.

I watched the game Saturday, but was distracted with other things as well. My brother went to the game and told me he was getting pissed at the lack of protection the O line was giving.
Maryland definitely played us tough, like they do every time. Hopefully Holgerson rips some new assholes this week and the boys come out to play hard on Saturday.
Speaking of Saturday, my mom is trying to locate me some tickets for the game as a birthday gift. Not holding out hope, but it would be badass to get to go. Hell I haven't been to a day game in a LONG time. I've hit a lot of primetime games recently.
That's the problem though... Neither Dish nor DirecTV carry it, the only way I can get it is with AT&T U-Verse, as I don't believe Verizon Fios is up and running where I am yet. Still not sure I'd pay extra for it either, but I'm definitely not going to switch my accounts for one freaking channel.
Maryland's blitzing was very effective. No excuses, the o-line was just soft. Eger managed to get himself benched for the whole 4th quarter.
I've never seen Holgorsen so pissed off. He was ripping Geno and the whole offense constantly. That poor, poor, headset. My mom said she heard on the tv, by the announcers, "Holgorsen just told his players to get their heads out of places we can't repeat on tv". :lol:
If you score a ticket, text me. I hang out in the purple lot, over the hill, behind Ruby. Was a good secret, but more people are figuring it out now. I'm usually one of the 1st people there. This week there was 35+ people there at 8:40 am!

Yeah man I'll let you know. Might not score some til Friday night. She's been asking around with people my brother bowls league with and they bowl Friday nights, so its a wait and see.
We did and apparently AT&T has shipped in dozens and dozens of technicians from all over the country to meet the demand in Austin. I can't say it's been a seamless transition (the first router they gave us was better at pumping out heat than a wifi signal), DVR didn't work the first time I depended on it, but our tech (from St. Louis) has been very available and very helpful.
once it gets off the ground, these networks don't stop. The big 10 network is great. The cable companies knew once this happened they were screwed, they couldnt compete.
If someone was really thinking they would have been the ones to start them. Texas is big enough to pull off its own network though.
But channels that actually cater to their fans is a great thing. Before you would have to sit around and wait for espn to throw you a bone. Espn hates the big 10, they knew if they didnt get in bed with anything else coming out they were going to face more and more competition. They had to make sure they ponied up for LHN... Texas had em by the balls im sure...
Its free money for the schools, well its money they were losing out on before..
