Season opener is on pay-per-view

Posted by HenryJames on July 24th, 2009 under Football

The kickoff for the season opener against Louisiana-FEMA Trailer has been set for 6pm. And it’s on pay-per-view. Allsome.

As if I didn’t need any more incentive to watch Texas pistol whip a bunch of dudes who weren’t good enough to play at Louisiana-Lafayette and who will be working casino security after graduation.

In a year that Texas is expected to compete for a national championship, our opening game will not be televised. I wonder if Oklahoma-BYU will be on tv?

    Dodds is an idiot

  2. Western Kentucky vs. Tennessee, will be on the SEC Network while Jackson State vs. Mississippi State will be on ESPNU, so we got that going for us.

    Which has more viewers on pay-per-view? This or the Trips Right v. Ipower cage match?

    What is the over/under number on shots of Kiffin’s wife in their game?

  5. I can probably get you an extra ticket if you promise not to pop your collar.

    Outstanding! Because last year’s PPV experience was so stellar.

    Trips, Can I still wear my polo under starched button down?

  8. Clearly these things are more profitable than free tv or they wouldn’t keep doing them.

  9. They are because no matter how much we bitch, most of us are going to buy it if we’re not at the game.

  10. Sound like we’re watching it at kevwun’s.

  11. seriously, I’ve paid for PPV before, I ain’t paying for this one.

    But hey, I’m excited about the rest of the home games:
    Louisiana Monroe
    Texas Tech
    UTEP
    Colorado
    Central Florida
    Kansas

    Well, maybe two of them. Okay, just one of them and it rhymes with Blexas Blech.

  16. Watch the O-State Georgia game. If necessary, you can adjust the color on your TV so that OSU has special pumpkin shade of orange.

    I just happened to be checking out ESPN/ABC update CFB TV schedule yesterday and it lists ABC for both OSU-UGA and Baylor-Wake at 3:30 eastern on the 5th. That’s right, if you do the math, the Texas markets will almost certainly get Baylor-Wake. Seems to me the conference could’ve done something to avoid this. …and ILL/Mizz is also at the same time on ESPN.

    What a glorious, glorious day of basketball at the Ford Center Saturday.

    First, Ali Ali Farokhmanesh and all the other Panthers with cool names took down Kansas as Sherron Collins made his best effort to shed that “clutch” label on the last game of his collegiate career. Then of course, Kansas State waved goodbye to Jimmer

    Both teams are unselfish and preach sharing the ball. A&M is a balanced scoring team. Sloan showed in the first round against Utah State, for example, that he can defer when his teammates have things going.

    Normally, after a big win or a crushing defeat, I don’t know what to think, say, or feel, because I can’t. And that what makes this one different; it’s just as painful, but I saw it coming. Instead of getting blindsided by the oncoming traffic, I was able to brace myself for the

    lawdog – on the topic of regression, this crew can’t compare with the senior seasons Thomas and Atchley put up. Something ain’t right in this scenario. Mason topped out his sophomore year and Pittman last year.

    Wangmene is ‘Manos de Piedra’ redux, so that was really never going to work out.

    I suppose anyone could be your “favorite Longhorn basketball player” but Ford did more than just about anyone…although Durant is clearly better. Ford’s supporting cast was better than Durant’s in his sophomore year. Durant’s had more talent (Augustin, James, Abrams) but Ford’s was more developed (Boddicker, Ivey, Mouton, Thomas) and had worked with him for

    This notion of Hamilton as being a disaster area on defense is all a bit much. He rebounds extremely well which, if it wasn’t obvious, is extremely important in this game since it secures possession of the basketball. Winning in basketball is achieved through the scoring of baskets and it’s necessary to possess the basketball
