The SEC "network" is just an ESPN channel that Disney forces customers to buy. So, let's just call it what it is.

The BTN doesn't have any moral authority on the topic of making grandmothers pay for a channel they'll never watch. But yes the BTN broke ground first (by years).

The ESPN-affiliate part is interesting in terms of how the standard ESPN channels could be conflicted in their coverage of the SEC, but I'm not sure how big of a deal that is.

In states where there are Big Ten teams, the channel is on basic, so yeah, people pay without choice.


That's not the case for ESecPN4. I have it, and it's not because I chose to have it. There is no SEC school in Illinois.

Just went across a little 50 cent toll bridge.  All I had was a 50 dollar bill and a few pennies in my console.  Old guy working the toll couldn’t break my fifty, acted miffed at me for not having anything smaller, and waved me on through with a grunt.

I had a similar incident in a parking lot a while back that didn’t take credit cards.  This has become a pet peeve of mine.  I’m trying to give you money.  If you want it bad enough either get with the times and put in a credit card machine or go to the damn bank and be prepared to make change.  

Rant over.  Lol.

Badger made an excellent point here years ago about not "wishing away the summer" to get to CFB season.  Of course, the more we wish something would get here faster, the slower it seems to get here.


Ya like money,lotsa money

I had a similar experience at a UPS store. The clerk asked for $1 because I didn't tape the free shipping label to the box myself. I printed it at work and came in with the label and box separate. I explained I didn't have a dollar, only a credit card. He was mad. Scoffed "Yeah right, like you don't even have $1." No, friend, I don't. But I have a credit card, if you want to run it. He taped it for free and I left confused. I'd never previously been charged for this service. And he had a credit card swiper but ignored it.

It’s on basic cable, right? And SEC is in the better sports package? Or is that basic too?

Anyway, I’ve quasi cut the cord, but the economics will get to the point cable is equal.

You could move to Illinois, not work, and get Medicaid.
you can do that in Iowa as well.  I found out through my daughter.  They almost forced her on Medicaid and she makes decent money serving and bartending at the Olive Garden.

And she's on my Health care insurance to boot!

I considered that. Seems 50/50 or better.

From what I've seen, SEC-N is not in basic cable, and often not in the next Tier, but starts with the next 50 tiers after that.

I get is here, I usually forget the channel number.

I don't have the sport package and I get it. Not the PAC or Longhorn though.

The pool water today was the temperature of bath water.  The weather today was pretty nice, clear blue skies, low humidity, but the past two days were "bad".

Thank you Mister Carrier.
