I totally get griping about paying for something and not getting what you pay for...but if said company refunds you the money then I'm not sure what else the company can do..they didnt deliver what you paid for and gave $ back...it sucks but it also happens on any number of products out there too

I agree but The Democrats will make life miserable for Americans when they take over the house and senate you can bank on it. Election Day was a big loss for Americans but the Trump and the GOP are to blame.

I know we here at SETXsports come from the audio only side of broadcasting (we do provide the audio for some DCTX video broadcasts) and we provide it for free. But that doesn't mean we don't have expenses ourselves. We must have sponsorships for our broadcasts otherwise we would not be able to do the broadcasts. We no longer do pro bono like we did when we first started 20 years ago. Those advertisers are very important to us getting out our 7-9 broadcasts a week. It's vital for our broadcast existence. We want to stay free for as long as possible. But that won't be the case if we end up losing money over it. Our broadcasters do this for no or little pay. They all have real jobs. (well except for me, I am a retired beach bum). But without the support of our sponsors, we simply couldn't keep it free. I completely understand the process of broadcasting the playoff games since NFHS paid the UIL for those rights. They own it. They have every right to make others jump through hoops to broadcast the same playoff games. Only fair thing to do.

I agree with this. But also a lot of gripe comes from the people, which was a lot, actually spend the money to watch the game on a pay for view platform, and the platform is garbage. So then the argument goes back to keep it free on Youtube. At least if that feed goes bad, no money spent. If NHFS would have succeeded in delivering a quality product, most people won't mind paying. Also, humans gripe. You could beam a game directly into someone's brain for free that made them actually feel they were there in person, and they would gripe because the imaginary popcorn didn't have enough butter.

Streaming and the angst over it is a fascinating study in human behaviors. In the early 2000s newspapers had no idea how to handle the internet so they just gave their content away for free on there....then when they realized how bad it was for them they tried to pivot and charge for it...it was too late...people had gotten used to free.... I see a similar thing in TXHSFB...the UIL allowed regular season streaming in 2020 and schools had no idea of the value their product had and just gave it away for free...and in the end hurting their gate, which hurts concessions and fundraising...most people inherently follow the path of least resistance and if a game is free for them to watch from home...why go?? And fewer people now go... The in the playoffs when everyone is used to free they dont like having to pay, even when NFHS works well people complain about having to pay...even when NFHS uses the school broadcasts and students...they complain about having to pay... Lets be real about it...people just dont want to pay....most can say its about the kids and educational opportunities, but then when faced with the choice of paying x amount of dollars to watch a student broadcast or watch Jim Bob go on Facebook Live or TikTok...they'll choose the free option every time...

59-7 🐝

I would love a 20-pt win and think it is possible for PN-G. In the playoffs, it's win and move on to the next one, even if it's not pretty. PN-G had a 1-score margin of victory along the way in 2022 and 2023 and made it to state both of those years, so it's a bottom line business in the playoffs.

Apologies on behalf of Dave Campbell's for actively trying to remain profitable and viable and not lose money

Not personal. I agree with most things you post. We can agree to disagree on certain things.

I just haven't seen much talent...then proceeds to list talent😄

My point is our government is incompetent. Blue and Red. Blue more so than red. No need to take it personal.

To me thats speaking from both sides...if its truly not about profits and about the students then why need ads?

At least if they have their own, allow them to broadcast any way they see fit. Ads or not shouldn't matter. Students are being pushed down for profit. Education 1st is supposed to always be the top priority

That's the UILs call, no one elses...I'll apologize on behalf of Dave Campbell’s for trying to run a profitable business

In tournament play, win and advance. That's all that matters.

Buy a quick pick lottery ticket while your at it. With that kind of luck it would only take 1

NFHS and DCFB have the worst websites and live coverages. All about profits. Let the schools do there own.

What is your point? Should we feel better?

Game is at Merrill Green Stadium in Bryan, friday the 20th at 7pm. This game in reality probably wont be close, but im going to throw a willldddd projection out here.. vidor wins 34-28 because stephenville overlooks us and we turn them over about 4 times!

Hitchcock isn’t good this year. We beat them 49-0 and only attempted 13 passes (Broussard was 13/13 that game). They didn’t have their running back, but it wouldn’t have made much of a difference. WOS should cruise in this one, but I would’ve said that last week as well.

Bruh…The vegetable watched a Chinese Air Balloon float across the United States. Lol
