Yeah, but besides those...There are are over 13k posts in 653 pages of thoughts just in this thread...
I had no idea there were juggalos that old.
You tell em Billy. Marine Force Recon is no joke. My son is a Marine and I met some of those Recon and MARSOC guys at Camp Pendlelton a couple years ago. Those guys were in scary good shape. But more importantly, congrats on being a NED and beating the Big C!Old? Hell...I'm the 69 that is the new 50. Pump weights three times a week and walk three miles at a quick pace another three days (sometimes with a 30 pound pack).
Not the guy I was about 50 years ago when I was Marine Force Recon ....but I sure don't feel old..
And I am now officially NED...No Evidence of Disease...beat a cancer....that makes me about 40 pounds lighter....
And sure..Juggalos and Noles are brothers...we wear face paint, go whoop, like doing a chop...

$200 million to start the network is absurd. They could flip ESPNNews which serves no purpose for a fraction if they were serious.

Perhaps this is ESPN's way of nudging the ACC to agree to an OTT app (installed on boxes such as Apple TV, Amazon Fire, etc.) to distribute the conference content instead of having a traditional network such as BTN, ESPNNews, etc.
That already exists really with Watch ESPN.
If they don't have any Big Ten - then ESPN is going to need even more ACC games on their networks.
The order of things to come:
Step1: B1G or ACC tv deal w/UConn
Step2: B12 watches the sunset as the emergence of either one ends their time in the sun.
Step3: Profit.
There is no future for the B12 if we are picked up by another conference or the ACCtv deal happens. Without UConn, FSU and Clemson, there is nothing for the B12 to do but bide their time waiting for UT to make a home with one of the P4 left. Meanwhile OU lands in the SEC and the lefts overs of the B12 merge with the AAC and Mtn West.
I can't tell anymore if stuff like this is serious.

Do you know Jim at AOL.com? He also knows a bunch about tv economics too.ESPN News is a valuable channel for ESPN. It generates ~$180 million of revenues for ESPN for very little production cost. They aren't giving that up for an ACC Network.

5 things Memphis can offer Big 12 that nobody else can. FedEx, BBQ, Beale Street, Graceland and Civil Rights Museum. Lets see UConn top that
... and @Penfield --- "boiled" hamburgers. WTF?

This isn't serious. It can't be.

Jesus, where is the Big 12 going to possibly find good BBQ without Memphis?
