Care to move on or do you want to continue to talk about me?



Google and the Pac12 could be massive together. I'm hoping the SEC comes out with something solid because if not we will be stuck in 2nd or 3rd rankings in terms of conference revenue.

I will leave out the incriminating pictures from your photo bucket account. Make that thing private, man.

Oh, hell that photo bucket acocount is only used to hold pictures for the "Tavern" hogvilles OT lounge and for this website to paste pictures.

Otherwise, it gets almost not use. But there are plenty of really good looking ladies you might wanna check out.

Now, back to google and the Pac12 vs the SEC network integration. I would love to get out from underneath ESPN.

There is a great story about vertical integration on outkick the coverage. I had seen this proposed by some people regarding an SEC tv deal when the whole A&M to the SEC hoopla was started.

The kind of deal that the Pac 12 is putting together is what will be mutually beneficial to both the Pac 12 and it's technology partner. The partner has something to sell outside of just the content and the Pac 12 will keep the lion's share of the revenues from their original content. The loser, clearly, is ESPN.

This is the second time I've seen an article relating to ESPN linked to this website. It seems like they've done a good job of reporting whoever has ownership of outkick the coverage.

I'll give it a good read, grab some food and respond in a short while.

Not a whole lot of new information in there in terms of the future and how ESPN is a middle man like a brokerage firm. However, it did open up back stories on ESPN which I found very interesting.

I really enjoyed the attached articles of the lowballing of the Big10 Conference leading to the Big10 Network and how the executives handled the situation, quite hilarious and we've had similar stories around the office, well played, well played, ha ha.

"In just four years the Big Ten Network has almost matched the payout from ESPN's family of networks. By 2015 analysts are projecting network revenues of $333 billion."

That is a very telling quote and the reason why I wanted the SEC to hold the rights and start our own network. It also puts a new spin on the Texas Network for $300M which is off to an almost false start.

I have to admit I do like the writing style of this website. I've keep telling everyone about Larry Scott's back ground (Pac12 Commish) and he was in heavily with Google and how this will be a game changer.

I do agree about the diminished reputation of ESPN around the country. I probably watch the history or discovery channel more than I watch ESPN. I find my news faster on the internet message boards then what is being reported on ESPN.

I really wish I could see the legal terms of our contract with ESPN. I could give a much better business opinion going forward instead of a fan opinion.
