Who is on the low end of the totem pole? You're acting like the $35M a year Texas pulls in is chump change and you act like you will actually be receiving a check from the SEC Network. I don't care if UGA pulls in more revenue than Texas does from the SEC network, that's all I'm conveying here.

You seem to care quite a bit.

Not at all, just responding to Law Dawg......

Oh please, the very thought of someone else getting something better than Texas has your ass candy apple red.

The people who don't care - ain't posting about how their team has this and that in response.

WTF are texico fans doing posting in here anyway?

Hell, they haven't sniffed enough CONFERENCE championships to be considered a "TRADITIONAL POWER".

2nd tier all the way. Fattest kid in the pool.

Yet just above you stated "LOL at these poor schools that have to share......" So, you do care until you get shown your ass!

And, what in the world are you talking about 35 million? Do you think that is what you got from the LHN? It isn't even a fraction of that. Nice try.

It's called sarcasm, guy. And regarding what Texas pulls in, the school receives $20M from Big 12 1st and 2nd tier revenue and receives $15M from the LHN/ESPN.

I'm back, and like i said it's nice to have our own network. Congrats on making a lot money, hopefully they share with their fanbase. All i know is i get 24hours of UT coverage on our own network, no sharing.

Alabama has it's own network, it's called "ESPN".

But seriously:

It would suck if Alabama had it's own network. It would be the same few things over and over and over. That's boring.

I actually like the variety. I've been watching the Pac12 network and the BTN for awhile and enjoy them as well.

I think it works for SEC fans, since you guys love your conference as a whole.

I like not feeling like you should cheer for a rival. My sister went to Tennessee, and she will cheer for her vols, but then will cheer for Bama or Georgia in a bowl game because they are in the sec, even though she considers them to be top rivals. I don't want my rivals to win.

The reason people pull for other SEC teams isn't because we like those teams. It's because we are smart enough to understand and realize that when they win - it's good for our teams.

I pulled for VT all last year. Not because I like or dislike VT. But because the more VT won, the better it was for my team.

But I still hope Auburn loses every game. I feel it's affordable and worth it.

You would put Tenn 2nd tier and not Nebraska? Tennessee won a NC during the BCS era. NU hasn't won a conference title since 1999 and in all honesty, the days of NU ever winning conference titles and NC's are over.

You really are obsessed. Never mind that Tennessee winning a NC "in the BCS era" was one year after NU's last title :lol:

Even though wrestling is not near as prestigious as sports like football and basketball...

I feel Iowa is a traditional national power in wrestling

That you believe that confirms your stupidity.

I made a comment about you loving to watch all of the SEC, then you explain why you cheer for all of the SEC. Sorry gump you did this to yourself.
