    it's actually at the point where the entire thing is no longer frustrating but just like we're watching a police chase on live tv where you wonder how much longer this guy can keep going with this network.

    literally the only fans who can possibly continue to care about the Pac12 Networks are the ones whose teams are the conference drecks that can't get on ESPN or FS1, but those schools are tiny and inconsequential so really there is nothing about Scott's strategy that matters to any of the fans.

    Every now and then Wilner would poast something about the "great studio shows on the Pac12 Network"....I had the network for 3 years and I could never figure out when these shows were...i don't think they were consistently scheduled so, again, nobody cares.

    Anyway, Wilner did a column on these numbers a couple days ago and what caught my eye was that literally the 2 worst performing networks were Pac12 and the Tennis Channel...that made me laugh.

    Everyone in the conference should care. Our allocated revenue from the TV contracts continue to fall well below initial projections, and we still have a game or two every year that is shown on this network that allegedly exists, which hurts our profile.
    You are right Green. Scott is really hurting this conference. It's at Defcon 4, and that should worry everybody concerned
    Defcon 4? Try Defcon 1, poopy.

    I thought 5 was worst. Ok defcon 2 then. Defcon 1 would be no network dude. Nobody wants that
    Pumpy good at everything.

    Bein Sports shows motorcycle racing and tape delayed French soccer. Tough to beat that

    Truck racing > motorcycle racing

I wasnt a nerdy little fuck when ferris beuller took us to defcon 2 either...I could see you little turds watching that movie in early 80's and getting all excited ... pup was busy going up shirts and touching a little fuz back then. You little geekies didnt do that for another 20 years

    Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was released in 1986, the same year Judas Priest released Turbo Lover, the same year Pumpy was eight.

    Pumpy: Pimp or Pinocchio?

    The sad thing is given what we are getting for the channel per subscriber, they still can't make a fucking deal with DirecTV

    I’m serious - if the PAC-12 Presidents and chancellors had any smarts they’d shitcan Larry and put Tits Cohen in charge.

    She is doing an incredible job.

    I had the channel for 3 years and I can tell you that there is zero watchable tv for guys like us on it....it goes beyond boring because it is 99% replays of games I didn't want to watch when they were on the first time.

    The model is wrong if the target audience is humans.
