meetthemets Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 So let me get this straight, ESPN, CBS, and the SEC Network will all carry SEC games?Talk about biasNot sure what the complaint is here. ESPN and CBS have already been showing SEC games for years. I would imagine all the SEC Network is going to show (when it's not showing an SEC swim meet) is games nobody else wants like a Vandy/Kentucky game. I'm sure you're not gonna see Florida/Georgia on SEC Newtork, at least not live. You probably can't get SEC Network unless you pay extra for it anyway.

Jigga Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 So let me get this straight, ESPN, CBS, and the SEC Network will all carry SEC games?Talk about biasHow exactly is it "bias"?I'll tell you exactly why it's biased! ESPN, CBS, and the SEC Network only care about making money. They don't care about showing all of college football. That's not fair! They're only going after the most rabid and loyal fanbases, the conference who plays the best football (and it ain't even close) in the nation top to bottom, and have some of the best coaching minds nationally! Plus, there are so many rivalries, so many big games, so many colorful figures...plus at least for this year, there's still Tim Tebow! They need to look past all that and showcase the little guys! Who cares if no one wants to watch WAC and Mountain West football, they should jam it down our throats like they did with the WNBA and Arena Football!I think these networks should be more concerned about equity in the college football landscape than they are about great football, great players, great coaches, great rivalries, and huge amounts of money!

So you're saying ESPN shouldn't care about great games, players and coaches? Networks care about ratings, it's how they attract advertising dollars and yes, ultimately make money. Why else would a business operate other than to make money? So why would ESPN not show games that are going to get them the highest ratings? The SEC has arguably the most passionate and loyal fans in college football and SEC football games are probably the highest rated games in the country. So why wouldn't ESPN and CBS want to show these games? You really think ESPN is going to show the New Mexico/Utah State game over a Florida/LSU game on a Saturday night? Come on. It's the same reason FOX shows American Idol twice a week instead of running infomercials during primetime, ratings.Who cares if no one wants to watch WAC and Mountain West footballWhy would a network put on a game that no one wants to watch?

RedEye Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I THINK Jigga was speaking a little tongue in cheek. However, I think the Big 12 is going to show itself as sharing that top conference label with the SEC this year. At least as exciting game to game given the last couple of year's offensive explosiveness that seems to only get better and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of good football that gets played at the D3 level. The athletes aren't as big or as good, but the strategy is amazing. Clearly, CBS should shocase those games every week. I'd throw a party if they would focus more on teams like University of North Billings - West (South Campus) State.Your argument makes zero sense.

footballfiji Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Actually you can catch SEC Games on Fox Sports Nets, ESPN, CBS, CSS, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN360, Local Affiliates, and at least 2 games (UGA at Georgia Tech and LSU at Washington) that could be on ABC. I think the deal works out so that 90% of all the SEC games will be televised. Auburn, for example, only has 1 (vs Furman) that won't be on TV somewhere. Plainsman Parking Lot.

TFoA Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 The SEC will be irrelevant once Teblow leavesIs there a ribbon for CCSLC Worst Post of the Day? This sure as hell deserves it. Aw man, that's rich. I seriously lol'd at that post, and not a "Wow that was a great post" laugh but a "Holy that is amazingly ludicrous" laugh. Saying that the SEC will be irrelevant due to the departure of Tebow is like saying that the EPL is now irrelevant because Christiano Ronaldo left. I suppose the SEC became irrelevant when Peyton Manning left.Ok, back to topic. Decent logo, there really isn't a way that they could mess that logo up unless they really tried to.
