I guess I did not realize...
« on: March 13, 2014, 09:18:14 PM »
I am watching the final Big 12 Network basketball game ever.

Quote
The last Big 12 game to be shown exclusively on the Big 12 Network, with its announcers, is Thursday night’s Texas-West Virginia game.

Read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/2014/03/12/4885090/big-12-network-to-tune-out-after.html#storylink=cpy

I know this is probably better in the long run, but I grew up on Big 12 Network basketball. Its kind of sad.

What :cry:

Man, that stinks. Remember Raycom? I do. I honestly feel like this was part of our identity, I have a Hardees Big 8 basketball that reminds me of syndicated hoops. No Whataburger, no Basket Pong, Cooper Tire, bye-bye Tom Bodett. It doesn't seem right that this is ending with UT/West Virginia with the great Big 8 battles we had this afternoon.

Here in Iowa they put the games on the ABC affiliate so they never put the week night games on, I've had to watch them on MASN and Altitude.

I hope ESPN picks up Brynden Manzer, I really like him.

I think it's great. We all get sentimental sometimes, even about shitty stuff, and the Big XII network was shitty. Having all of the Big XII games on ESPN will be much better for conference exposure. I really think the Big XII is ready to establish itself as one of the top basketball conferences year in and year out. This certainly won't hurt.

I don't think we're having the same conversation, we're just being sentimental bro, we are all acutely aware of the benefits.

Also the Big 12 Network was far from shitty, they have been using ESPN production for years, we had all of these games on nationally long before the Big 10 Network. This is still a much better set up than what the ACC, SEC, and PAC 12 has. The all ESPN game will be great but that doesn't mean that this has been shitty.


AWWWW man, Dave is getting misty about it now, this is sad  :bawl:

I wasn't trying to say that anybody in this thread didn't understand the benefits. I was just talking it out bro. Go Cats!

Hopefully Reid and Dave do lots of our games. I love love love those guys. My earliest KSU hoops memories involve Dave Armstrong Raycom games. :frown:

Big 8/ Big 12 basketball has had a certain flavor to it's production as long as I can remember. My only hope is that they can hold on to that somewhat with the change.  I really like the Saturday pregame shows too.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Yeah, I remember those Raycom days - watching on a 19-inch television, no less. I remember Fred White and Gary Thompson doing the last game in Ahearn...those were the days, my friends. I thought they'd never end... :bawl:
