Why is that laughable? They return most of the best players from a playoff team. No, i dont think all the good teams they play will have 2nd string or 3rd string qbs. But those teams still had in tact defenses that got shredded by OU. I know, i know, your rebut will somehow be to suggest that the OU offense wouldnt have been able to put up all those points if the opposing team's qb1 was playing.
The recipe is there to beat anyone, you just have to go out and do it. Last time I checked, qbs dont play defense, and OU offense was lighting up defenses with consistency last year. So they could have just ran it down OU's throat and made them like it, right? I have good reason to presume my team will improve from last year, especially considering many of their best contributors were first or second year guys. You assume your yount talent will improve, so you cant knock me for assuming the same about OU's young talent.
You dont need penis envy to recognize a failure when you see it. That doesn't even make sense at all. It's lost money for five consecutive years. Are you suggesting that the loss has already been recouped, or that it's finally not losing money, year after year, and eventually espn will recover that loss with the newfound profits? I dont believe my lose face comment is retarded at all, I think that texas thought they would have a successful network ,because, "we're texas" and that would just be good enough. Losing 48 million tells me it wasnt enough. But hey maybe they'll end up making money as time goes on. I dont care about OU having a network, or if it made a billion dollars. I dont see a penny of that so personally its meaningless to me. But I would rather have a conference network because this conference is shit and I would like to see it be brought up from the stinking turd that it is. This will have the side effect of benefiting everyone in the conference, including OU.
Alright.
Ive seen you use that one before- Am I expected to feel insulted by twelve toe? Forgive me, I just havent been on an elementary school playground in a while. I have already addressed that texas can make money on a deal that is a failure. They got a guarantee from espn, without that, it would have been a financial failure for texas, instead of just for espn. It's nice to have a security blanket. I dont think even many texas fans enjoy the programming , considering the low viewership. They claim to have 7.5 million subscribers (thanks directv), but their two highest rated events last year were the only two live ut football games they had, both were under 424,000 viewers. sucks when all you can get are tier 3 games. I'm pretty confident that volleyball, golf, and fozzy's safari spectacular are exactly putting them over the viewership hump.
