Aramis Ramirez and Carlos Pena got the memo that the pressure is off, so they went about their business of hitting meaningless homeruns. But Alfonso Soriano couldn’t be bothered to even do that. He settled for a measly triple and then laid down in the middle of the game.
Way to earn your money, pal.
I shouldn’t be too rough on him though, since he does have a lot of money and he could theoretically buy a whole bunch of stuff from our OV Shop if they caught his fancy. It could happen. He already seems to like the Darwinning shirt:

From what I remember UT has no monetary stake in the network. National carriers are going to want all of the big games anyway – how many UT games was LHN going to air each year anyway? I always thought it was one or two of the nonconf games.
Given all the kerfuffle over high school games and the fact that UT has no monetary stake in it it might be easier to spin it off to ESPN to become the Texas high school sports network.

Texas is going to get one or MAYBE two home non-con games with little national interest. They’re going to air more baseball and basketball games as well as classic football games, coaching commentary and university programming.
Texas will earn a pretty penny through the network, but it’s more about brand marketing for them, imo.

Texas, along with the LHN, to the Big Ten makes no sense. Texas wouldn’t get any money from the BTN, which is over $8 million and continuing to increase as they add more subscribers and pay off FOX. The ABC/ESPN and other tv contracts would be split evenly among the members, but Texas is going to be getting so much less in television revenue than even a school like Northwestern. The LHN isn’t going to produce revenue over $8 million. They have to split it with ESPN first of all and the BTN has 8 to 10 states in its footprint already. It’s larger than the LHN and the Big Ten owns more of the network and therefore more of the profits. It doesn’t make any sense why Texas would do that.
There is no LHN if they joined the Big Ten. I don’t even believe that they’d even entertain the idea of it still existing. The Big Ten has been about financial fairness for so long that it’s the one thing I’m certain they’ll demand continues. The Big Ten won’t allow members to make more in tv contracts than others and that’s what allowing Texas to have the LHN creates. The other members make way more money than Texas. They won’t like it that Northwestern is getting more money in tv contracts than they are and the Big Ten won’t like it because it goes against everything they believe in.
Add in the fact that it’s quite likely that Notre Dame joins the conference at some point and the BTN goes national. The members of the Big Ten will see their current revenue from it more than double by that time. I don’t know why Texas would even want that.
If the LHN is something they feel they have to have, they’ll go to the Pac 12. There’s as much chance the Big Ten takes Texas and the LHN as there is that they go after Middle Tennessee State. Or my high school.

Tyler has had 549 career plate appearances and Barney 492. If we know Barney is a bench player based on that, then I think we can draw the same conclusion that Colvin sucks without giving him even more playing time.
I’m not saying he shouldn’t play or should play, but at this point, Colvin and Barney are pretty much at the same stage of evaluation based on playing time, so the philosophy for one should probably be similar as well.

Plus, he’s a corner outfielder and his hitting has to be superior in order to be of much value while Barney still plays a premium position.

I think Colvin is a 4th OF but that still doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be given a chance to prove he can do more. The problem is that he is losing out to Reed Johnson. the ultimate 4th OF.
What’s probably closer to the truth is that there was zero intention of playing Colvin full-time but rather just giving him Fukudome’s playing time which was 4 days a week or so depending on the pitching match-up. These two are likely going to be a platoon in LF next year with Byrd/jackson as the other starters.

UT owns the rights, ESPN is buying it from them.
From what I’ve read the way advertising works on cable is if you have shows people want to advertise on (UT games, coaches shows, etc) you can leverage that into buying ads on the less desirable blocks of time. That’s how networks that basically show nothing but crappy reruns can get advertisers for Everybody Loves Raymond reruns.

Of course, but it’s just like the lesser game on the BTN each week. There are shitty ads and they make little money from it. The Big Ten wanted the 9th conference game so they could show more conference games on the network and attract more advertisers. With a 9th game and the 12th team, it makes it more likely that each week they’ll be able to show one of UM, OSU, Nebraska, PSU, Iowa or Wisconsin and those are the teams that advertisers want.
There’s no way that channel makes it as is. There’s also no way the Big Ten allows them to have it and there’s no way the Pac 10 will allow them to have it without splitting revenue with at least 2 additional universities. No wonder the other teams in the Big 12 are so pissed. Did Texas really think they could do this and keep the Big 12? If they did, they’re dumber than Al Yellon.
Texas is a great program, but I don’t want anything to do with them in the Big Ten. They will soon have been in two conferences in two decades that have collapsed.

Even though I know to expect it, I’m still surprised every time I look at it.

[quote name=josh]Hosmer in KC has made Ka’aihue obsolete. He puts up killer numbers in triple A. Might be a worthy trade target.[/quote]I agree, trade Reed and Vitters for Hosmer. Don’t give them Barney though.
