just wondering if anyone thinks that the mountain network that goes off may 31 will be replaced by the pac 12 network?
I believe I answered that within my post..maartena said:So....what is the source of these "real" numbers, and how can we verify them?
It is funny, I agree. It's funny how much Pac12 fans think they're the best. I'm not biased, either, I love the University of Arizona (and support your Cougs a little because my cousin received her doctorate in veterinary medicine from WSU).kick4fun said:Sigma, with much respect.... I must say the drama is funny...
We need a little humor to mute our anxiousness with this whole Pac12- Directv thing..

I like Arizona as well, my family lives in Tucson. One of the best experiences for me was, when living in Washington, moving away from the Big City of Seattle and traveling to a small little town on the other side of state. Nothing else around but wheat fields. Since the town of Pullman, WA is so small, the close nit family of being a Cougar fan is natural. "Once a Coug, always a Coug".sigma1914 said:It is funny, I agree. It's funny how much Pac12 fans think they're the best.

Good Question.... I'm gonna say they take some of the channels in the 700's?woj027 said:So lets say this thing gets done quick like. And we get all 7 channels 1 is National, 1 is regional (if you are in the region) the other 5 are Sports Pack (or 6 if out of region).
Where will all these channels go? I've read that the National will go to 626 (ironically the area code for the Rose Bowl). What about the rest? Anyone want to take some guesses?
I'd rather take from Root or some of the FSN channels.. There's nothing on those anyway..woj027 said:Following up with above. I live in Portland, OR. What happens to 687 (Root NW)? Does it go to part time? It will only have the Mariners as a major market along with the occasional Portland Timbers/Seattle Sounders Soccer (Football) match.
They can't survive on that alone, It will be about as useful as Comcast Sports NW. Only a 1 team channel.
Sure they can survive on the Mariners. That is 162 games a year.woj027 said:Following up with above. I live in Portland, OR. What happens to 687 (Root NW)? Does it go to part time?

I was born & lived in Tucson 11 years...the UofA was my first experience to live sports. My cousin, who did her undergrad at Arizona, loved Pullman. She shared beautiful pictures.kick4fun said:I like Arizona as well, my family lives in Tucson.

Even not so real teams in real conferences play on real channels.sigma1914 said:You're overly dramatic - other than football and basketball VERY little people care about the other sports. Also, even a whole lot less care about horrible matchups week 1. Look at what's on Opening night...
Northern Colorado at Utah or No. 9 South Carolina at Vanderbilt? Easy choice what people will watch.
The real teams are on real channels - USC (FX) & Oregon (ESPN).
I have no affiliation with either USC or UCLA, but you seem to be wanting to put USC down as much as possible.... Second choice you say?kick4fun said:I'll finish with the parting thought. USC is most definitely a Powerhouse. More Trojans have been taken into the NFL than any other University. But unless you play football, USC = University of Second Choice.. --Tiger Woods at Stanford..- haha..
But would that make it a part time channel? not the full time it is now.tonyd79 said:Sure they can survive on the Mariners. That is 162 games a year.
Your a tool.. I was having fun with the whole USC thing.. You're sensitive and despite your lack of not really hearing me, I will move on.. I don't and haven't put USC down other than the small quip of what Tiger Woods said. Get over it and let's please move on because we both agree that the PAC 12 network on Directv would be great.maartena said:I have no affiliation with either USC or UCLA, but you seem to be wanting to put USC down as much as possible....

USC ranked #1 among Universities taking home MEDALS at the London Olympics, and TIED with Stanford for the number of GOLD medals.

Stanford and USC also tied for sending the most athletes to the Olympics, with 40 each. Which would seem to indicate more athletes from USC and Stanford have WON during the Olympic Qualifiers.
So apparently.... the other sports USC does quite well in as well.

And unfortunately.... I would have to go with the alumni numbers on the website of USC. If that is as official a number I can get to, then that is what it is. No disrespect to your wife, but numbers that can't be backed up might as well not exist.
That we can agree on.kick4fun said:let's please move on because we both agree that the PAC 12 network on Directv would be great.
It depends on what other, non-game programming they offer that might be worth to watch. And maybe they still broadcast sports not affiliated with PAC12, local universities, high schools, that sort of thing.woj027 said:But would that make it a part time channel? not the full time it is now.
Why? It has other programming just like all the other RSNs out there."woj027" said:But would that make it a part time channel? not the full time it is now.
You've never heard that? USC= University of second Choice---Tiger Woods (a Stanford Alum) said that when he first moved into the PGA. Also, as a joke, others in the Pac have said USC stands for "University for Spoiled Children". Again, it's just in fun, probably because most of us are jealous.maartena said:...

This big company called DirecTV owns it.tonyd79 said:Why? It has other programming just like all the other RSNs out there.
Plus who owns it?
You're wrong about Vandy, they're turning a corner and will be better. They had their first ranked recruiting class this year. Watch...fleckrj said:Even not so real teams in real conferences play on real channels.
Kentucky at Louisville - ESPN
Kent State at Kentucky - CSS
Western Kentucky at Kentucky - ESPNU.
Kentucky will be lucky to finish as high as 12 in the 14 team SEC, but every game will be televised. The South Carolina at Vanderbilt game you mentioned is on ESPN, and Vanderbuilt will be fighting with Kentucky and Mississippi State over the bottom three spots in the conference standings.
Well, there is ONE reason it won't go away.woj027 said:This big company called DirecTV owns it.

Tiger is not a Stanford grad but he did attend Stanford for two years.

(Although, they could make it part-time of course).
SJSU is a team on the rise, you're a bit off with your quote there. I understand you're on the East Coast and don't hear a lot about them. The school is pouring a ton of money into their athletic program and in the process of building the "Bill Walsh Sports" complex that will include an entirely new facility for their football team and other sports. They finally have a commitement from area grads and businesses to grow the sports programs. They just brought on a new AD (former one left for Memphis) and will be moving to the Mountain West Conf.sigma1914 said:You're wrong about Vandy, they're turning a corner and will be better.

Also, the bottom 4 of the SEC is still better than the jokers playing the Pac12 teams like Northern Arizona or SJSU.
