Do you watch every channel on your tv? 95 million subscribers at launch isn't too bad for the SEC, especially considering there are 115 millions homes in the country with tv's. Here is an 11 page thread on the Shag about the limited distribution of the SEC Network if you need a good laugh. [Hidden Content]

Everyone wants Kennedy gone. Bring back Billy Clyde!

He decommited in April. Evidently he was close to one of A&M's coaches that was fired.

Written by Chip is all you needed to say

I thought only 2 people stole all the money?!?!

A&M basketball has been pretty terrible under Kennedy, but I would still be surprised if they were losing players to Lamar without some extenuating circumstances.

I don't know. I saw the videos from A&M camp and they didn't have logos on their helmets. Sumlin must have lost control and is trying to gain it back by making the players earn their ATM on their helmets. No word on whether Sumlin is letting them do the Thumbs Up Gig Em sign or if they have to earn that too.

I'm just ready for football to start. 23 days and counting...,

It was 1954, so I bet they tweeted about how tough it was to all of the other recruits across across the country.

Most teams practice with no logos. I guess it was a slow news days on the 40 acres.

Yeah I don't like the 5pm start time, but they have Vandy playing on the network right after.

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]
