Why do Texas fans act like the Longhorn network is great?

[4down20]

I am constantly told by Texas fans that the longhorn network is so great because it's a channel dedicated to them 24 hours a day.

So I was curious about it, and I looked at their TV line up and it's just the same 3 or 4 shows over and over.

Here's tomorrows lineup:

Watch Texas Longhorns Live Sports Events and Programs - Longhorn Network

Longhorn Extra is a 30 minute show that is on 16 different times. That's 8 hours of just the 1 show over and over.

So then you have a 1 hour show called Longhorn Weekly with Shaka Smart, and it's on 4 hours.

12 hours of the day is made up of these 2 shows alone.

Game Plan with Shaka Smart - a 30 minute show is on 3 times, for an hour and half.

For actual sports, you get a womans basketball game, a mens basketball game(re-airs) and a baseball game, which appears to be live.

And then there are some shows which are apparently so bad they only show them once and elect to show 12+ hours of that other junk.

Fair warning, the next time one of you Texas fans tries to act like the Longhorn network is somehow better than a conference network because "you got Texas on all the time", I'm going to flat out laugh at you. It's no wonder the channel is struggling, you barely have any content to fill the time.

Maybe you should put some paid programming on the channel for more diverse content and probably generate some revenue off it for a change.

That must be a fun time for that hardcore Georgia Bulldog fan. He might even long for his own Network but I digress.

7:00 PM Georgia vs. #3 South Carolina (W Basketball) SEC Network +

Of course, I doubt they want to watch that.

The LHN is great ONLY in the production values......and the fact they let the students run the shows production wise. ESPN didn't skimp on the talent or budget, gotta give them credit for that.

It's great for the university. But unless they're running replays of great football games, nobody really watches. This is third tier content, which is why they wanted some HS games to fill out the schedule.

Because for Texas fans it is a nice option to have. For the other 99.9% of College fans it's a boondoggle that keeps the Big12 in a constant toxic state.

hahahahaha man this blew up in the gumps face. Look, I love the LHN. I love the food show with augie, I love game plan with all the coaches, I love All Access, I love Longhorn Extra, I love Friday night lights reruns, and I love the old games. I love that I get to watch every home baseball game, shoot I even watched the softball game last week. I get why non horns fans won't love it, but the jealousy in this thread is hilarious.

So quickly, another nanner nanner boo boo thread.

I barely watch it, but I think it is a great. If it causes Bama fans to post about it, than keep it. Clearly, it keeps Texas on people's mind and that is great for recruiting.

That would be a serious breech of etiquette, you can't jump to "hater" until you have played the 'butthurt" card.

I got no problem with the Longhorn Network as long as it makes financial sense. My only concern is as time passes, how long are they going to be able to broadcast games where the Longhorns win 100% of the time. Eventually I'm gonna see a Texas loss on this channel.
