I think the LHN will eventually survive, but IMO they overestimated the national appeal of the network.

outside Texas, no one really wants it and it's going to be a tough sell getting carriers outside of texas to pick it up.

Hell, not that many people really want it IN Texas. They absolutely overestimated the network's appeal--shoot, even as an Aggie, I wouldn't pony up the cash if there were a Texas A&M network. Just not enough appealing content to justify paying for that channel, IMO.

I don't agree. As that article pointed out, the negative back-wash related to the conference in-fighting and the almost robber baron attitude of both ESPN and UT has tainted this thing beyond repair.

Most any other network would have ditched this idea a long time ago when the shite started hitting the fan; ESPN hasn't done it because of their "we will not admit defeat" persona. Eventually, the LHN will fade off into sunset only to be a memory...just like their once dominance in college football!
