Can't wait for the SEC Network

I only watch their ufc/mma programming. Don't give a shite about Nascar or MLB.

The two things I took away from Foxsports1 in the ten to fifteen minutes I watched of it this past year....

1. Damn, they really had Erin Andrews dressed for a Vegas club on the college football morning show
2. ah, it's pretty cool they're televising this Man U/LA Galaxy game.

Otherwise I forgot it existed.

they could have something if they tried to be the anti-espn but instead they decided to copy everything they do but with worse personnel.

This board was flat-out pumped for the channel. Then everyone stopped caring.

Not well. The channel should just take a break from the end of the Big East basketball tourney to the start of the NFL season.

A lot closer to NBC Sports Network than a competitor to ESPN.

That is basically my impression. They have that awful commercial for their Sportscenter show that where they go through every over-reported on name (Manziel, Puig, etc.) in rapid fire mode. It obviously sells, but that is exactly what I don't want in a sports show.

I think they are a lot better than their competitor, they just have to grow the brand name. Too many people hear fox sports and immediately think sports on fox rather than it being it's own network. CBS sports and nbc sports suffer the same problem.

They suffer from bad content.

Haven't watched it at all. I don't watch these talking heads shows at all, and I watch the nhl network for highlights.

I haven't watched it because they don't show anything I care about, but I can't wait til they get the bundesliga rights in 2015.

They are not going to get viewers until they can get some live games of sports a lot of people watch.

I like the morning show better than sports center. The two Canadian hosts are pretty funny and I feel like they show more highlights than espn. When I flip to ESPN they are still beating the same story to death over and over. Wish they carried more college football and basketball.
