I didn't ask for it either.

Sincerely,

"It's a true advantage (for opponents). They can watch our attitude, they can watch our coaches,'' Brown said.

Critical lol.

I can only hope this is what he tells the AD is responsible for him losing all these games.

~Because we couldn't go for three~

That gave Oklahoma and WVU a clear schematic advantage as no other video of their attitude was available. Damn multi million dollar TV contracts that pay for his salary.

It would be worse Mack, you could have been in the SEC and had to play Middle Tennessee State in a primetime game on ESPN.

Dustin Fox was our leading tackler as a corner.... because his guy always caught the ball.

Mack, you should start worrying about your job instead of the Longhorn Network. I wonder how your attitude will be affected by unemployment?

Unemployment is the great equalizer. The Longhorn Network is supposed to make Texas look good. I guess they'll be showing games from 5-6 years ago. Can't show this season.

Does anyone even watch the Longhorn Network?

I guess the real question is "does anyone get the Longhorn Network?" Distribution is still an issue.

That or "does anyone care outside of Texas?"

If Texas loses a game because the other team picked up on their "attitude" from the previous week. They. deserve. to. lose.

I know there's a game saturday, and my ass will be there.

You know, on second thought, he might have a point here. Does anyone know if the creation of TLN coincide with Texas sucking? Forget the loss of Vince Young and Colt McCoy, its the Network's fault!

I know everyone wants to hate on Texas. I think it is comical to outright blame the network for the problems. However, there may be some truth to the fact that this network is taking up alot of his time outside of just coaching football. I know I wouldnt want Meyer having to worry about shows and interviews right now, I want him preparing for PSU! Coaches are already responsible for so many tv appearances, call in shows, radio shows, etc.. It would begin to effect your preparation throughout the week if you had added interviews throughout the week. Just saying glad our coach isnt consumed by a network right now.
