Direct TV signed on today, so now most of the major carriers will provide the SEC Network when it launches August 14th. [Hidden Content] For those of you saying the SEC would only get limited distribution, it will also be available in space to those football loving astronauts. [Hidden Content]

Bama has the #1 recruiting class almost every year so that's not that funny. Maybe Saban will start having slumber parties, so A&M will have a chance to pass them.

I guess it doesn't matter besides it being funny. It's not like Chucky is pulling any top recruits anyways.

That should lead to a recruiting bonanza! If the random room searches weren't bad enough, now the coaches are having campouts with the players in their dorms. I bet recruits are lining up to be treated like 11 yr olds again.

Now they are having sleepovers with the coaches. The jokes write themselves @ChipBrownHD: HD Exclusive: #Longhorns' coaches moving in with players as fall camp begins. More only @HornsDigest ($). ... [Hidden Content] For the next 2 weeks all UT Football coaches will move into Jester East to "live, eat, train and return together," with team. This will be for just 2 weeks before the entire student population arrives for the 2014-2015 school year.

Their schedule is pretty favorable with only 2 games against ranked teams. They play #14 Wisconsin and #22 Nebraska both at home. Iowa does always seem to lose a game or 2 that they are supposed to win though.

They get Auburn 1st game, so we will get to see if they have improved right off the bat. Nick Marshall will be benched for his pot arrest in the off season. I wonder how long that will last if Auburn gets behind.

Yessir! @ESPNTAMU: #ESPNJr300 CB Travon Fuller, the no. 128 overall player in 2016, has committed to Texas A&M. [Hidden Content] #Aggies #GigEm @ESPNTAMU: New #Aggies commit Travon Fuller is a 4-star prospect and the no. 12 CB nationally in the 2016 class. #GigEm

Those 2 schools are in the forefront of our minds because we are fans, but this is a nation wide problem. Schools all across the country are dealing with the same things. I don't think it's much different that it always has been with young athletes getting in trouble with the law. The diffence now is the twitter/social media era we live in, players have to be more careful. You do something stupid and 20 people are there with their cell phones to video and take pictures. Long gone are the days where to coach can call the local sheriff and get the kids out of hot water without anyone knowing.

Maty Mauk started 5 games last year and played in 13 of 14, so they aren't hurting too bad at QB. Losing their receivers will hurt.

Ranked 35th right behind the U North Carolina was one that surprised me and Mizzou being left off. @slmandel: How ticked are you, Missouri? Win 12 games and the SEC East, don't crack the next year's Top 25. But Texas gets its customary spot.

Clemson and FSU play that weekend. If Clemson beats Georgia week 1, that matchup will be between two Top 5 teams.

The new locker rooms were reveled today. More #Gadgets [Hidden Content]

And those would be?

Coaches poll released today [Hidden Content]

I guess Chucky changed his mind. His "core values" must only apply to non starters. @bevobeat: Bevo Beat: Texas S Josh Turner given 2nd chance, reinstated to Horns [Hidden Content] #Longhorns

Congrats! They did it the hard way coming through the losers bracket. Good luck in Virginia!!

5-1 Nederland top 4

4-1 Nederland Top 3

It says he recently graduated. It sounds like T Boone Pickens found an old player that was close to graduating and got him a diploma.

Oklahoma State is off probation and allowed full practices after they discovered the recent graduation of a player from the 90's. Yes like 1990's. The NCAA is a joke. [Hidden Content]

Nederland won 1-0. Winner take all championship to follow shortly

Nederland leads Eagle Pass 1-0 top 7 of 1st game They have to win twice to advance to the Workf Series.

“Lamar, Rice, SMU, La-Monroe. Those are all a bunch of toughies" He named A&M's entire non conference schedule, so I'm pretty sure he was talking about them. He forgot to mention that the Ags have the 5th toughest SOS in the country. It's all a PR game with the new playoff. When your conference sucks, you are left with no other choice but to downgrade others. That is why half of the questions and comments at Big 12 media day were about the SEC.
