It is always good to wait until the last minute to break down. Both thought the other would blink in the last minute.

The Mouse is a smart and clever rodent, first he buys the broadcast rights and then decides who get a bite of the cheese…….. and at what price. 8) 8) 8)

I think the mouse's founder would roll over in his grave if he would see what his vision has become.

I would think you’d need a tachometer to see just how fast he would be spinning…….. College Football darn well better get themselves a group of Consultants and Negotiators that knows both about THE FREAKIN’ ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY AND HOW THE POLITICAL SYSTEM WORK, and how to deal with both groups of the blood sucking jerk.

These over educated, philosophical, dreamer guys sitting in their Ivory Towers admiring their degrees hanging on the wall and philosophizing about ‘How things should be’ are no match for this bunch of SMILE IN YOUR FACE AND THEN CUT YOUR FREAKIN’ THROAT BUNCH. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Btw….. I’m keeping an eye on the new PAC12 Commish, he’s got some background and experience in the world of dealing with these groups…… we’ll see.

South Park dealt with Disney in an amusing way. :D
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

Disney ain't dumb...

Comcast held out on the ACC Channel...until Disney's contract came due...we all knew Comcast would cave because Disney bundled...you want ABC, the ESPN family, Disney, FX...you get the ACCN and SECN...like it or not.

Fox did the same with the B10 network/PAC10 network.

………and the consumer will pay for it whether they like it or not. As long as ‘bundling’ continues to be legal the Mouse will continue to steal the cheese and avoid the trap.

You want College Football, the Mouse has got it, you want Bowl Games, the Mouse has got it, you want CFP, the Mouse has got it……. all that little rodent had to do is get out his checkbook and buy it, because IT’S FOR SALE!!!!! And “Who’s the seller?”, one might ask. Well, where should we start??? Let’s start with “Who’s got the product?”. Answer: College and University Presidents. And then ask “Who’s got the authority?”. Answer: Politicians.

Now, the Mouse shows how smart he is and asks himself……”What do they both have in common?” and “What do they both want?” Hmmmmm, this is where the Mouse shows his stuff…….. and concludes, “They both crave Power, Wealth, and the Love Of The People!!!”, but the Mouse also knows they will sacrifice the Love of the People for the power and wealth.

………. and that’s how the Mouse has managed to get the consumers to pay for a product, in this case ‘bundling’, they do not want. 8) 8) 8)


Happy New Year!!!!!!!

Now that Oklahoma's has been cast and delivered; I hear they are having trouble configuring Texas' specifications ...
