if only we knew. I'm usually an advocate for tentpoling but this crosses the line (IMO).

    On the main P12N channel they were playing Beavlet vs Stanford men's soccer.

    Nothing was saving this shitty conference.

    I hadn't paid much attention to the BTN but have glanced a few times lately. Is their programming any better? It doesn't seem like it based on a real small sample.

    One theory I had was that people in the rust belt are bored and watch the hell out of whatever sport they can find on TV as long as there's a regional connection.

    What I saw looked a lot like the Pac-12 Network.

    A brewery I go to has set channels on the TVs and BTN is one of them. Always football content unless it’s a live sports event that doesn’t interfere with live football.

    1) the p12 was dead loooooong before prime even started coaching
    2) these three games for prime have been entertaining, but are we? going to hang a banner for beating some bottom feeder teams?
    3) IF prime is more steak than sizzle then he's gone to the SEC and boofs are right back to where they were
    4) i dont think its a coincidence the lane kiffin/mental health story broke this week, he better beat bama and/or hope prime starts losing

    Black Monday this year, ESPN will be stroking Prim into a NFL job. "It's a crime if Sanders isn't you're first call as a GM."

    At least in the present moment, they're looking at Deion as CNN looks at Trump, in terms of a ratings booster. I don't think they'd want him to leave Colorado.
