Anyway, I am getting it in Arkansas in beautiful HD. Should be available almost anywhere except maybe not Peru.

Now that pi$$es me off. Peru is much bigger than Ark. and p.s.- our drugs are better than your 'shine'.

I am not getting it in PA either. This is Pennsylvania and not Peru. The Fox Sports Net in my area is covering the Big East which means the Catholic 10. Wonder how the TV contracts were worked out as it appears the Big East came out with a better TV deal than the AAC.

[that's great raplh]

Who's excited for American Athletic basketball?! I don't know about you, but it seems like every winter for as long as I can remember, I've found myself longing for Southern Methodist University and the University of Central Florida to rekindle one of college basketball's great rivalries. And not only did the formation of the American Athletic Conference make that happen, it also brought back the storied UConn-Houston rivalry! Remember those two times UConn and Houston played? Man, that was something. And then UConn won its national title in 2011 in Houston! I bet that really got the Cougars' blood boiling!

Anyway, the one big thing I'm looking forward to with the AA1 is that it will provide the first conference game between Louisville and Memphis since the 2005 Darius Washington game. Outside of that, it's hard to find a reason to care about the conference. There will be a handful of decent teams to go along with defending national champion Louisville, and it will be interesting to see Memphis actually compete for a conference title after years of cruising through Conference USA. But with two of the bigger programs leaving after this season, zero historical context, and a terrible, generic name, it's difficult for a neutral fan like me to get excited about the Battery.

1) What about playing off of "AA" and calling the conference "the Battery"? Aside from confusing everyone who didn't read this footnote for the rest of the season, is there a reason this wouldn't work? I know "the Battery" isn't great, but it beats the hell out of the alternatives. I'm sticking with that unless someone sends me a better idea or I finally cave and start calling it the American.


-------------------

I say we all adopt the Battery nickname. It's great

Our contract is with ESPN. This game is not conference and not part of the contract.

I know Rich is in Cincy with the football team, but good golly, Alan Stone? He can't keep his throat clear for more than 10 seconds. Phlegm much?
