ESPN just announced the Longhorn Network will televise Texas’ first two games of the 2012 college football season.
You’ve heard all the jokes before — if a tree falls in the forest and the Longhorn Network televises it, does it make a sound? — but hey, it’s a good idea to put Wyoming and New Mexico on the LHN.
If Texas fans want their Longhorns bad enough, maybe they’ll aim enough noise at their local cable and satellite providers to carry the upstart Texas/ESPN property, no matter how much it costs subscribers.
If they don’t, fine.
Then nobody who doesn’t have Verizon FiOS TV or doesn’t subscribe to cable in the footprints of Grande Communications, Consolidated Communications, En-Touch Systems, E-Tex Communications, Bay City Cablevision, Mid-Coast Cablevision or Texas Mid-Gulf Cablevision will watch Texas football in Week 1 or Week 2.
LHN carried two Texas games last year, Rice and Kansas.
One cool note for local readers: Long-time Tulsa Drillers play-by-play voice Mark Neely, who has done work for ESPN since 2001 and worked for the Big Ten Network in 2007 and the San Diego Padres in 2009 before his current gig with ESPN, will call both LHN games.
Neely is excellent. Too bad no one will hear him.
