I have many friends who have had Comcast and hated it, I have heard nothing but bad things from my Houston area friends in particular about Comcast. I couldn't careless about the Longhorn Network but I hope if I ever move back into an area that has Time Warner (soon-to-be Comcast) that service is not interrupted by the Company because of their wrongdoing.

I have Comcast/Xfinity and have no complaints. Except they don't carry TLN.
It's going to be tough IMO to get the FCC to sign off on this deal.

Same here. I had comcast and switched to direct tv because it was cheaper for a little while, they sucked and I switched back to comcast even though it's a little more expensive. The direct tv in my area starts messing up when it rains hard, the only time my comcast/xfinity messed up was hurricane Ike. I've seen a bunch of Lamar, HBU, Sam Houston, and d2 games that I didn't even know were aired. They also show a local high school game every Thursday night, have a Friday football show that cover local teams in depth, and a recruiting show that airs during the season until signing day. There's usually about 5 or 6 high school games on per weekend on comcast, I have at least a dozen channels that show d1-naia games on Saturdays.

Worst customer service 2013:

Comcast #2

Dish Network #3

Direct TV #8

Time-Warner #9

 

Looks to me like any way you go: YOU LOSE!

 

I think poor Customer Service is a growing problem across the board for many companies.

 

I'm sure when your cable goes out, they should account for the "pissed off" factor to begin with. Nobody is happy.

      Will probably be released by the Democrats come September.  Sound familiar?

      Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.

      I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.

      He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up.

      I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success.
