have already filled out the SEC-ESPN online petition form at least 50 times.
Lot of free time on your hands?
I copied and pasted from TexAgs. But somebody does.

Request the SEC Network today!

I copied and pasted from TexAgs, but relevant for the the whole conference, so ignore the A&M stuff...
With the announcement of next year's season opener between A&M and South Carolina being broadcast on the SEC Network (SECN), the time has come to truly ramp up the pressure on cable providers to add the SECN to their lineups. The SEC Network officially launches on Aug 21, 2014, and the season opener airs on the 28th. AT&T U-verse and Dish Network are the only major national providers that currently offer the SEC Network as a programming option. If you are a current subscriber to either of these, and are happy with their service, then congratulations. However, even with the recent addition of Dish Network to the fold, only a small percentage of the cable coverage throughout Texas and the rest of the SEC footprint can receive the SECN. Remember, the potential financial benefits of this deal will not be fully realized until there is much broader distribution for the new network.
The biggest targets in the Texas market remain Time Warner, Comcast and Cox, none of which are showing signs of picking up the network yet. To help make this happen, you can fill out SEC-ESPN petition linked below. Better still, you can call and/or provide written feedback to the major cable providers (every day if you have the time) to request the SEC Network as well. You should make this part of your daily routine to insure that the appropriate amount of pressure is applied. It takes less than 10 minutes of your time, on average.
EVERYONE needs to fill out the SEC-ESPN network request petition form here:
SEC-ESPN Network Request Petition:

In addition to this, EVERYONE needs to frequently contact one or more of the major cable providers to submit a direct request for the SEC Network. I have provided general contact information and instructions for each of the major providers below:

***AND/OR***

Call 1-888-777-2454 or 1-800-531-5000 to submit your request directly with one of their representatives.
We all need to put as much pressure as possible on as many cable providers as we can. I have already filled out the SEC-ESPN online petition form at least 50 times. Additionally, I have called, and submitted written requests, to multiple providers on numerous occasions. Once again, if you are already a U-verse or Dish Net subscriber, that's great! But, at a minimum, you still need to fill out the SEC-ESPN request petition, and you should preferably contact one of the major providers directly on a daily basis so that we can maximize the cash that rolls in for A&M and the other member institutions of the SEC.
I will be making a nuisance out of myself in reminding everyone to do this. You will be seeing this message posted, and/or bumped, on a regular basis until it becomes a joke, or until it really angers everyone, or until the SEC Network is distibuted by the major cable providers. Just consider this to be the biggest, most important, poll that we have ever tried to win. Except, let's actually win this one!

Posted by TxAgswin on 1/7/11 at 1:30 pm to NorthshoreTiger76
I've heard this is going to be Fox's sort of "dress rehersal" for the Super Bowl since it's the same network and stadium. So we're going to get all of the little bells and whistles in the broadcast that are typically reserved for the big game. Should be pretty cool.
quote:
This is the rant, if a few people pick a team to beat LSU then it means everyone is picking that team over LSU. It goes into the "media hates LSU" thing that so many buy into.
OMG HE PICKED AGAINST LSU HE IS AN IDIOT
You could replace "the rant" with "TxAgs.com" and LSU with A&M and the exact thing would be true. The homer mentality can corrupt perception. That's why I never bet the Ags or the Saints. It's like gambling drunk.
quote:
never bet on A&m
Usually that's the case, but we went 9-3 this year against the spread. Nine wins against the spread usually puts you in the top 5 "gambling teams" in the nation.
Won't let me link it for some reason ("scripted windows", what the hell is that?), but here's our gambling stats this year if you care to copy and paste...

I think it is interesting that even the so called experts are overwhelmingly predicting an A&M win. It makes very little sense. You would think it would be an even split.
Point well taken and I agree in most part. I thought most would pick LSU to win. But it's not really overwhelming or that surprising considering they are all posting scores and they're all really close. Among the experts in the O.P., for example, it averages out to A&M +1.4. Only about 3-4 points off the Vegas number (depending on the book) which is about what you would expect considering LSU is the bigger name and in the stronger conference (thus will likely attract more action). That being said, I'm not touching this game. I have no clue how this thing is gonna go. Bowl games are pretty tough to bet, escpecially if your team is in it.

Not sure if you're referring to my comment about the SEC or not. But if you were, you need to have the part of your brain that detects sarcasm checked.

The 3 main leaders at the Alamo were William Travis from Alabama, Jim Bowie from Louisiana, and Dave Crockett from Tennessee. General Sam Houston who lead the army against Santa Anna was also from Tennessee.
A&M to SEC argument?

Pretty sure I'm gonna start drinking at lunch today.
I pretty much agree with the OP on how the game will go. However, I'm hoping for a late turnover or special teams play in our favor to pull it out.
24-21 Ags
24-21 Ags
"ESPN hates us" is practically the mantra of TexAgs.com. So you can blame us as much as Fox.
Haha. I know it. That's the plan breaux!

I hear Bevo may be leaving texas for a better offer. We're thinking about picking him up as our backup mascot in case Rev's heartworms flare up on gameday. :lol:

Bet a cute LSU girl that hangs out at my local bar a bucket of beer and a round of shots. Either way I kinda win.
