Inside M*ch*g*n Football is on now. This should be a laugh riot.

Ohio State versus M*ch*g*n trumps everything. It trumps your record. It trumps whether it's dangerous or you don't have a chance or any of those kinds of things. It trumps all things because it's the Ohio State-M*ch*g*n game. And I would like to think our guys understand that, but there's only one demonstration of understanding that and that's at 12:00 noon on Saturday.

"In today's world, there is more than games," Plonsky said. "What makes sports compelling is human interest."
A Longhorns channel could carry some live baseball, softball, soccer and women's basketball games, as well as competition in sports such as track and field, volleyball and swimming.

So in the absence of football & men's basketball, what they'd really have is the Longhorn Volleyball and Human Interest Network.
I guess it's still better than E:60

I watched the YSU game on the BTN from a local bar here, and maybe it's because I worked in public information for a while, but JESUS CHRIST. They would come back from commercial breaks in the middle of a play (happened 3 times), the commentators were pure [censored], and the picture was garbage.
They need to figure it out.

The commentators are the only thing in that list of problems that can be pinned on the BTN. DTV and Dish Network have both had issues at different times, either with coming back in the middle of a play or not having the first several games on at all. I have Time Warner and didn't have an issue with the commercials for the YSU game. I don't have BTN HD, but I have seen it, and it looks great in most cases.
