Longhorn Network - Just say 'No'
I greatly appreciate the value provided by AT&T in bundling tv/wireless/internet services. Similarly, the bundling of channels allows customers to access a variety of programming at substantial savings.
However, occasionally, programming comes along that is so expensive and directed at such a narrow, niche market that it deserves to be left off of the programming options or ordered solely as an 'a la carte' option. If the reports about the price tag to cable providers to offer the 'longhorn network' (by ESPN) are accurate, the only way it could be added to current bundled programming packages is at substantial cost to MANY people who have no interest in the programming.
Please AT&T, keep prices low, by either not offering or charging ONLY those who desire this programming option.
Thanks!

BOOMER SOONER!
The only time I would watch the LHN is if they were playing OU in a sport that doesn't typically get televised such as baseball, volleyball or soccer. Too bad it would have at UT slant in the broadcasting.
I'm not opposed to the LHN coming to UVerse since it will be one more channel they carry and for those that don't want to watch it, don't tune to it. I'm sure there are enough UT fans that will be more than happy.
If OU gets their own network I'll be the first to sign up.

If that happens, prepare yourself for the same backlash that you see here in this thread.

I don't see this happening, unless it is placed in a separate package/add-on.

LOL. You can't be opposed to all sports channels even if you aren't interested in sports. You can only be opposed to the Longhorn Network.

I'm in TX and from TX, can't I push to the front of the line?
Wow, you were right about taking sports seriously, or something...

Sports fans are passionate about their convictions. This is serious stuff. It is not a game!
Up until now, you probably thought sports was for entertainment and relaxation. 🙂

I know. Just as it is with the LHN, it's not for everyone. I may have said no to the LHN because I'm a SOONER fan, I hope they do carry it on UV. If BYU network comes to UV I'll be happy. Shoot I'll be happy if they start carrying more sports channels. More exposure for smaller sports is never a bad thing. Besides I'll probably get a chance to see OU on the LHN in other sports. With the Pac-12 network, I'll probably get a chance to see the OU Womens gymnastics team compete.

LOL@DPR, looks like they are going to have to have the LHN filmed from inside the local jails. I see the players are back to the antics again and getting arrested.

Gheese!!! I don't know if it's a sign of today's athletes, and thier ability to think they are above the law, or of today's youth in general and the disrespect they all seen to have for the law. It extends into professional sports as well. IMHO
