If it's not on my sports package (which I would enjoy given that it's another avenue to watch various Big 12 sports), I'll go to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the game.

Problem solved. I don't know why Nebraska fans think this spells the coming of the apocalypse. With the new TV deals, we're actually going to be on TV more than we were when NU was here, so I'm not sure what the big deal is.

They are desperately seeking vindication about leaving the evil Longhorn empire, esp. since it's a little painful to bring up the academics card at the moment.

Agreed. Looking at it from K-State's perspective, we'll be treated MUCH more equally and fairly in the new Big 12 than we were in the old.

I looked back at prior schedules to try to determine how many games were on TV. 4 years, 12 reg seas games per yer = 48 games.

No TV = 11
web only = 3
Versus = 4
FSN/FCS = 19
ESPN/ABC = 11

With the new TV contract, I think I read that we're guaranteed to have 11 games on TV, with the 12th game reserved for each school to do with as they please. For K-State, this 12th game would likely be a webcast. (Unless the "other 8" form their own network, in which case it would be likely be on that network instead.) We'll be getting far more exposure going forward than what we had been getting in the past. We'll be paid much better. We'll have the opportunity to play in Texas and against teams from Texas at least 4 times per year (depending on non-con opponents). Basically, I can't think of anything that is worth complaining about. If KSU vs UT is on the LSN instead of ESPN, so be it. I don't see this as being a very big problem?

FYI, here's what I found regarding TV appearances over the last four years:

2010

Mo State - none
ISU - FSN
UCF - FSN
NU - ESPN
KU - FSN
BU - none
OSU - FSN

ISU - FSN
TT - FSN
A&M - FSN
CU - FSN
OU - FSN
KU - Versus
MU - Versus
NU - ESPN

2008
UNT - none
Mont ST - FCS
Lville - ESPN
ULM - none
TT - ABC/ESPN
A&M - none
CU - FSN
OU - ABC
KU - FSN
MU - FSN
NU - FSN
ISU - FSN

2007
Auburn - ESPN
San Jose - none
Mo State - none
UT - ABC
KU - FSN
CU - ESPN2
OSU - none
BU - none
ISU - Versus
NU - Versus
MU - FSN

JFC, the Longhorn Network is causing an unhealthy amount of butthurt in College Station.

Why doesn't Texas A&M just start up the Aggie Station if they are so butthurt?

Because it would burn to the ground.

That funding is a key component to any future conference moves. If A&M is to change over to the SEC and play with the big boys, they must be prepared for the increased ticket demand and suite demand. So this is a first step, and a necessary step if and when A&M moves on from the Big 12-2.

They can't win the Big 12 . . . I love the delusion.

(That was a townie joke, not a bonfire joke.)

That's a shame because it was a damn fine bonfire joke.

SkinnyBenny · « **Reply #7186 on:** July 16, 2011, 03:23:35 PM »

I guess really it's a joke with a double meaning.

Good because it was a bonfire joke all along and I was just trying to out some unfunny people.

When you place a ball on a tee, it's always nice to have somebody go ahead and hit it out of the park. Thank God for Skin Ben.

Texas A&M could be on the move . Meeting with board of regents Thurs to discuss move to the SEC. That means SEC will shopping for two.

Texas A&M's decision to remain in the Big 12 in the summer of 2010 effectively salvaged the conference's life.
