Good read.

Here's my thought- who gives a shit? They will blame us, we will blame them. In the end both could have done more to ease the tension but neither did.
We've moved on (some of you haven't) and I think they have moved on too. We're in the SEC now. Let's focus on that and not what happened and who's to blame.

I give a shit. I think it's quite funny that you are dead wrong about them moving on as well. Go to anyone of their sites and every other thread reads something like poor aggy. I laugh all the time cause everyone of them can't stop talking about us.

Like I said, I think.
As for them talking about us- some of us are still talking about it too so we are no better.
Let it go and move on. We're on to bigger and better things

I agree about moving on, but I just thought it was funny how he called them out.

The LHN isn't going to work.
Well, no shit.
Guess what will - The SEC network.
Hilarious that the horns bragged about their being so ahead of the curve, when history will ultimately reveal that they could not have struck a worse deal than the LHN. Complete lack of foresight at every turn in getting that done.

Byrne's really going out on a limb with that prediction.

+1 for Byrne.
Can't stand the short little sob. But it's nice to hear him denigrating someone else besides the Aggie faithful for a change.

It's been pretty bad so far coverage-wise, but they're still going to be getting $15 million per year for the foreseeable future

Which is going to be a fraction of what the SEC network returns to each school.

I dunno about a "fraction", but the SEC network should quickly eclipse what tu makes from lhn. See what the PAC12 and BIG10 networks are making.
If the BIG10 network is shown by a cable provider in a state with a BIG10 school in it, the network charges $0.43 per household. Other states are more like $0.02. That's why TAMU and Mizzou were so important. It adds almost 30 million in population to the SEC footprint.
While the SEC is looking at sections of the US, tu will be at *best* a statewide operation, and likely not that.
The true test of a man's intelligence is how much he agrees with you.
