The first 2 freaking games against UTSA - whom we swept tonight - and the winner of Texas State/t.u. gonna be on the freakin' Longhorn Network, when it's the frickin' NCAA tournament?

As Steven McGee might say, "This is total bullcrap." Why are we playing an NCAA tournament game on the f***ing sip network? How would they f***ing feel if they played their first 2 volleyball NCAA tournament games on the SEC Network?

ps. Have I ever told you guys how much I hate the sips?

What other TV network would take the first and second round of the NCAA women's volleyball tournament?

Maybe, the SEC Network? Maybe, next year, we won't have to put up with this s***? Playin' the sips tomorrow at 7PM Central. We need to whoop their effin' ASS.

I fing it interesting that the stupid cow network is showing our game and the sips are not in it, even though it is their gym. Wonder if they would show us tomorrow if we were playing tsu instead of them. I would think since the stupid cow network is part of ESPN and ESPN networks show a lot of NCAA tournament stuff it is part of a contract with the NCAA. Remember our softball regional in May was the featured regional shown on ESPN. I would expect NCAA games to be on the SEC network next year when a SEC school hosts.

Umm, the NCAA sold the rights to the volleyball tourney to ESPN. ESPN can choose to show any and all games on their stable of networks. I would expect only the semi and final to be shown on any major network (ESPN or ESPN2) but could see the regional finals and such on the ESPNU and some on ESPN3 (watch ESPN) Since they hold the rights to the LHN it is assumed that all facilities are cable ready at t.u. so why not show it. Any coverage is a good thing for VB, and if anyone cared to get the network outside of Austin then great but at this time they don't
