Throw another shimp on the (television) barbe

Hey everyone. The Southeastern Conference just announced that Fox Sports Net has brokered a new television deal. FSN actually negotiated with ESPN, which bought the rights to SEC football this time last year.

Anyway, the FSN family of networks (Fox Sports South, Sun Sports and Fox Sports Southwest) now will exclusively televise nine live football games each season -- beginning this fall.

If you want to know about times, well, I don't have that information just yet.

Here's what the entire deal includes:

Seven live, exclusive football games (presumably non-conference tilts)
20 men’s basketball games
24 women’s basketball games (16 regular season, eight tournament)
16 baseball games (10 regular season, six tournament)
24 additional Olympic sporting events (softball, volleyball, soccer, gymnastics)

Eddie McCoy said...: Hoopie- Thanks for calling!

Also, thanks for the other comments about the show. Hope you guys enjoyed it. I'll have it up tomorrow on my blog.; 9:03 PM

Eddie McCoy said...: You didn't talk to much at all Hoopie. Please call back.; 9:13 PM

wtc said...: Seastrunk is coming to town this weeknd and brunging the #7 ranked CB. The kid committed to TX and now is comited to Baylor but says he wants to check out AU because his friends, Seastrunk and T Reed have spoken so highly of AU. He says all three want to play a the same school.

not sayin it wil lhappen, but it does feel good to have Au being talked about by recruits around the country.; 10:22 PM

Anonymous said...: I'm not a Scarbo fan, but his recent article has me worried that if this weekend doesn't produce significant results, we may truly seem to be lacking recruiting substance.

All of the noise is great, but if you are making noise and don't back it up with results, the deflation could be huge.

I realize that these coaches have a challenge to start recruiting for AU in a completely different manner that the previous guys, but when you put yourself way out there....you've got to either deliver or be subject to valid ridicule from the outside.; 10:41 PM

Im starting to get a little excited about this weekend. I was starting to feel like it would be a huge let down.; 10:44 PM

AUfan said...: The South Carolina Scout site is reporting OL Eric Mack committed to South Carolina. I was hoping this was one Auburn could pull out-of-state. There seem to be few highly-ranked O-Lineman this year, and Auburn is(obviously) in dire need there.; 11:05 PM

Good Morning Hotties! Summer is finally here as we go into the 90's. Workout is finished and hitting the shower. It's time to get out of bed and Hate Bama.; 4:49 AM

Eddie McCoy said...: THT- Nice with the James Callier Day. I've had the priveledge of driving James all over Auburn since he never had a car when he arrived from Miami. He is a very genuinely nice guy and a heck of a player. Good selection.; 6:34 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Wow, Tom Watson leading the Open at -5. That's solid play right there.; 7:04 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: happy Callier/T.Williams day. TGI-Thursday. ready to call it a week.

we get FSN South up here but we're in the Cincinnati Reds tv market so it always defaults to their games and not the Braves. it doesn't make any sense. oh, well.; 7:27 AM

Tar Heel Tiger said...: Howdy Hotties!
Just finished the long commute after MrsTHT and I met MissTHT for breakfast at 0630 EDT. They had sweet potato pancakes. I had eggs/bacon/grits/biscuit with chocolate milk. I'm full and I'm sleepy. I've got a diet coke, if only I could shoot it up instead of drink it. But I'm still hatin' bama!; 7:48 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Eddie - do you know what James Callier is up to these days? Everything I've heard about him makes me so proud that he's part of the Auburn family.; 7:50 AM

Last night's show is archived on my blog and you can play it from there. Here is the link:

Auburn Football Insider Podcast from yesterday

Thanks again for all those who listened or will listen. We hope to have it up on itunes soon also available for download.; 7:54 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: THT- Good question, I don't know, i'll see if I can find out tho.; 7:54 AM
WarEagleRK said...: As long as day 41 is Callier's LB teammate Tavarious Pounds...just an awesome name for a linebacker.; 7:56 AM
AUfan said...: THT, this is one of my favorite days. Callier and Williams are two of my favorite players at Auburn. Callier was one of the friendliest players I ever met. Travis Williams has publicly defended Auburn on more than one occasion when everyone else was criticizing AU. He was back at A-Day this season, gracious as always.; 7:57 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: RK, i'm thinking T.Pounds may have a battle on his hands with Quentin Riggins at day 41, but what do i know. he does have a sweet name.

thanks Eddie. i'm linking....now. itunes would be sweet.; 8:07 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: WERK, you'll be disappointed to learn that Travarreus Pounds is on my list for honorable mention status. However, he is definitely a favorite of mine because he always introduced the ball carrier to a complete sentence, subject and verb.; 8:14 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: if you have the 2001 AU-UF vhs tape there's a great interview with J.Callier after the game talking about the AU family.; 8:16 AM
Jet said...: If it ain't Quentin Riggins, I'll unleash a virus from hell and take this place down.

By the way, has the governor issued the interstate lane reveral order for the evacuation of the Gump due to Hurricane Monica.; 8:46 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: Jet, i about fell out of my chair reading that. nice.; 8:55 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Jet's got a virus from T-town. Hmmm...; 8:56 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: THT- you assume they have computers in T-town? They probably intend to release the swine flu in T-town.; 8:58 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: wow, they are going to read my email on the show again. Good deal.; 9:26 AM
Seanzie said...: I had Fox Sports South, and then for some reason I went to DishTurbo and I no longer have it. Weird thing this satellite TV.; 9:29 AM

Seanzie said...: Did anyone else that per the recruiting sites, Bonomolo committed? Am I just that late?; 9:43 AM

Tar Heel Tiger said...: Monica - it worked, I'm finally coherent (though sadly, still unintelligent); 11:06 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Is there any truth to the rumor that there is going to be a "rolling Toomer's Corner" competition at 7 pm Saturday between JayGT's Hotties, the Auburn Undercover subscribers, and the Scout & Rivals subscribers?

If there isn't any truth to it, why not?!?!; 11:07 AM
AU1292 said...: Take it for what its worth, but rumblings in Auburn say that Seastrunk and friends may not be able to make the trip this weekend.; 11:12 AM
AU1292 said...: Also heard that Chaz Ramsey might be suing Auburn.; 11:15 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ^^ party pooper ;-)

be careful 1292, you may convert depressedAUfan into despondentAUfan; 11:21 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Thanks AU1292. You know how to kill a buzz!; 11:22 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Perhaps Omnica can learn the planned whereabouts of Lache for this coming weekend.; 11:24 AM
Jet said...: Monica ... The state's bidness is my bidness.; 11:25 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: a Toomer's TP competition. brilliant!; 11:28 AM
AUfan said...: THT, every time I am close to changing my name, 1292 has a post to knock some sense back into me. I propose a settlement in the Ramsey case of Chaz coming back to the team and Hugh Nall running stadium steps.; 11:30 AM
Monica said...: That explains the excellent state of affairs of the state. :-)

On another note, didn't someone say Dixon Farms was a favorite of their's?; 11:32 AM
AU1292 said...: On a lighter note, Sports Illustrated issues coming out this week feature Alabama, Ole Miss, and Tennessee regionally. Say hello to the SI jinx.; 11:33 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Scottie B - if it was brilliant, it wasn't my idea.

I need Omnica to do her FB thing and find out if a certain Texan will be in Auburn. If he can travel 1560 miles for the weekend, I should certainly be able to drive 1000. She better hurry...common sense is starting to rear its ugly head!; 11:34 AM
Anonymous said...: Mon...dang you've got a good memory. Stud muffin is mostly a sarcastic comment utilized by Hoopette.

WTC..I hit a lot of homeruns back in the day. Almost every one was the result of a technically correct swing coupled with 20/10 eyesight. Swinging "for the fence" breaks down the fundamentals and ususally result in a glorious.....pop fly.

For the record, I never said that these guys shouldn't be doing what they're doing. I'm saying that their overt style had better work or they have set themselves up for valid ridicule from all of the other SEC team recruiting.; 11:36 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: Guess who is voting in the AP poll this season?; 11:38 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: OK. You give up. It's me.; 11:39 AM

Jet said...: All I ask is when you don't vote Auburn in the top 2 at the end of the season, and your editors ask you to write a column, don't write a condescending, self-absorbed, snide, inappropriate diatribe. Just make your case and move on.

I'll love you more for it.; 11:42 AM

Fred West Virginia State is reporting Seastrunk won't be coming this weekend?

Is Auburn's Lache level dropping? I thought we had enough rain to avoid a drought.; 11:45 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: JD, that bites the big green one

JD said...: There are reporters whose last name is the same as a university in MonD's home state reporting that Seastrunk will not be in attendance this weekend. Anyone know anythign?; 11:46 AM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i can't see any definitive change of plans on the Rivals boards.

there was an article by Jeff Lee yesterday about him coming.; 11:46 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Do I need to go get him?

oh, wait, that might be a bit more than secondary; 11:47 AM
JD said...: sorry i deleted the comment and then reposted it because I was unsure if I should put an apostraphe in Who'se or whose...anyways I'm sure that is not the only mistake made in that post.; 11:48 AM
JD said...: No Jet it was actually Steven Eastern West Virginia Community and Technical College who reported that; 11:50 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I suspect Bob West Virginia Tech, from WV's very own gump, Montgomery, WV.

My former bro-in-law taught biology there. He got some really interesting questions from the nursing students.; 11:54 AM

That Steven Eastern West Virginia Community and Technical College is a muck-raking F-bomb wannabe.

The sad thing is that apparently Phillip Marshall is reporting the same thing.; 12:04 PM

Well, i'm out. Got meetings the rest of the day and a reception/dinner tonight. Don't wait up for me.; 12:05 PM
michael said...: AP voter Jay G Tate? Wowza!

Can we get a preview of your Top 25 Jay G? Also, what is your philosophy going to be on the preseason poll? Vote for the actual best teams, or vote where you think they will end up? Will you allow teams to move up or down during a bye week? Can a team near the top be leapfrogged by better performing team even though the team being leapfrogged didn't lose? Will you be open to doing a total reassessment of your poll every week, or will it be based on last week's poll with the only changes being driven by wins and losses?; 12:07 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: So many questions, Michael.

I generally vote based on who I think is best. I fell under Hawaii's spell when they were good, though, so my system isn't exactly foolproof.; 12:16 PM
michael said...: Let's pretend we are holding a Supreme Court nominee confirmation hearing:

How would you have voted in 2007 when a two loss LSU team leapfrogged a two loss Georgia team after winning the SEC Championship?

In 2006, would you have voted the consensus "best two teams" at number 1 and number 2 after the championship games (Michigan and Ohio St), or would you have had someone else at the number 2 spot?; 12:23 PM
Anonymous said...: Unlike some folks on here, I am OK with the JCCW. In fact, I found the HABOTN b/c of the JCCW. The guy generally throws out opinions and provides handy links to support where he gathered data to form the opinion.

Eddie...the JCCW makes a very clear argument for possibly burning TR's redshirt year this season and makes some good points. My problem with his opinion is that it assumes CGC and AU are in a make it or break it situation this year. Is it that critical this season? Are we doomed to the cellar for years to come if we don't turn it around this year? Call me naive, but I just don't think so.; 12:24 PM

And does anyone know more about the Chaz Ramsey suit against Auburn? Just heard that on the Roundtable.; 12:26 PM

AU1292 said...: Not to continue my pessimistic rants, but it has came across my mind that if Auburn was cheating at all during Ramsey's stint at Auburn, he could use that as leverage in the lawsuit.; 12:39 PM

Anonymous said...: Hey, Hotties, just wanted to let you know Geno is on his way home. For those of you that live in the Bham area, I highly recommend Dr. Ballagas. He is so personable and when we told him that money was an issue (even though we would have paid it no matter what it was; we just would have to put it all on credit cards), he said, "If you were to tell me that you were on your last dime, I would still what was right for this dog." For his second surgery and all the care they gave him for his degloving injury, the total cost was almost $1200. He only charged us $300! You don't see that much anymore. We were so touched and appreciative.; 12:44 PM

AU1292 said...: Trust me, most, if not all, programs cheat. To what extent is another question. But I wouldn't be surprised if $20 handshakes were going on at any point during Tub's tenure or if they were going on now by certain AU coaches...; 12:58 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Over 10 years, I had several handshakes with Tommy Tuberville, I never got $20.

Was I shaking the wrong hand? If so, I missed out on a few free meals.; 1:01 PM

Tar Heel Tiger said...: listen to the rantings of twelve ninety-two
telling me just what a fool i've been
to trust that Tubs was playing by the rules
and think Chiz isn't without sin; 1:23 PM
wtc said...: Hate to hear about the lawsuit. hopefully it will be settled and no mudslinging goes on. I hear the Ramsey's just think the trainers ruined Chaz's health by making him workout while the surgeon said no workouts.; 1:25 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Eddie,

You were talking about the 1996 UAB game, it was that moment that I knew Terry Bowden was on borrowed time. We we struggled putting the ball in the endzone vs UAB and had almost zero running game to start the season, it became apparent to a lot of people he wasn't who we needed on the sideline.

Jaret Holmes was our offense that day hitting several long FG's.; 1:27 PM
wtc said...: I can't find anything about Seastrunk not coming. My friend at AU says as of last night he is still coming.
He does however think Seastrunk and Reed both go to LSU. Dyer comes to AU and Grant goes to UAT.

Someone keep 1292 away from the window.; 1:27 PM
Monica said...: WERK,

Your recall for game detail is mind boggling.; 1:31 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Monica,

Sadly it really has no benefits other than message boards or for the occasional trivia.; 1:33 PM

michael said...: Devil's advocate here - if I was injured and as a 19 year old felt pressured to workout by the trainers and coaching staff even though doctors told me not to, and the result was a back injury that would last the rest of my life, then I would probably sue.; 1:34 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: my boggling mind has been recalled for lame detail...and lamer posts.; 1:37 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Michael, you don't need to argue on behalf of $aban to convince me.; 1:38 PM
AUfan said...: Was the surgery performed by an Auburn team doctor or a doctor that the Ramsey family chose? It seems like the therapy program should have been discussed between the doctor and the therapist, whoever it was.; 1:45 PM
WarEagleRK said...: So are we debating a lawsuit that is actually going to exist or just a random posting from someone who seems to only post something negative that might happen based on rumor or something they came up with?; 1:46 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I believe bammer Evan had an article about it right around signing day. From what I recall, and I believe this was the Ramsey side of the story, the doctor did give specific instructions which were not followed by the training staff.; 1:48 PM
AU1292 said...: The surgery was performed by a doctor that Auburn recommended. When he came back to rehab after surgery the AU training staff gave him a plan that conflicted with that of what his doctor had laid out. Ramsey said that it was too aggressive and made things worse. Apparently AU's team doctor, Dr. Goodlett, was upset when he found out that the training staff wasn't following the surgeon's rehab plan and he told Ramsey to report straight to him for rehab.; 1:53 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: WERK, probably the former, though right now the latter.

1292 do you have any kinfolk with a chili pepper impregnated cartilaginous skeleton on the dark side?; 1:53 PM
wtc said...: This is an actually suit that is is being filed. I have not read it from any websote, but a friend of the Ramsey family taold me about it today. I asked him about it after reading the post on here. He had told ne before that this was going to happen they were just getting the documentation togeher. I think an announcement of the suit is forth coming shortly.; 1:53 PM
Seanzie said...: Lawsuit will be settled out of court and the Ramsey family will get paid. Moving on...what do we think about La Tech. Bowl team, beat MSU last year. Thoughts on our opener?; 1:55 PM
WarEagleRK said...: LaTech isn't a pushover, but I have no idea what they have back from last year.

If we have any kind of offense, it shouldn't be much of a problem to win by a couple of TD's. That's a big "if".; 1:57 PM
Monica said...: ha @ Seanzie Way to try to bring it back to present day football.

WTC are you typing on your phone?; 1:59 PM
Anonymous said...: If I was a 19 yr old with enough intelligence to go to college, I would hopefully have enough self confidence in my ability to understand what the Docs say to tell the coaches no. If that action resulted in me losing a scholly....then I would sue and have more reasonable grounds for such.; 2:01 PM
Seanzie said...: I think we'll win easy. Even without a big offense. We could run the zone read with Tate and Co and probably win. Teams like La Tech don't do things like beat SEC teams every year. They just don't.; 2:01 PM
Seanzie said...: I'm beggin y'all to quit talking about litigation. Football please!; 2:02 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: If LaTech has an established QB, then I am seriously concerned. We may not yet have figured out our offensive identity (i.e. QB), and you know Dooley would love to beat up on the guy who got the job.; 2:03 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: just sews y'all know, I'm really hatin bama this afternoon.; 2:04 PM
Seanzie said...: Hmmm this is troubling...their entire roster starters are Srs almost. Including a 3yr QB. I'm not as confident as I was 5 minutes ago.; 2:04 PM
WarEagleRK said...: LaTech had a pretty good run of beating Alabama and putting a scare on us back in the late 90's/early 00's.

That overtime game in 2001 the week after we beat Florida was a huge collapse on our part as Cobb couldn't find a blue jersey after we went up 31-7.

If DT doesn't get that pick in OT we might still be playing.; 2:05 PM
AU1292 said...: La Tech returns all 5 offensive linemen, their all WAC running back, their QB, and their best receiver. Needless to say, most of their offensive power is returning, how much power they have is yet to be determined. And trust me I would love to post some positive news, but that seems to be lacking on the Auburn front as of late.; 2:08 PM
WarEagleRK said...: AU1292, can you change your name to "Black Death" or something more appropriate?; 2:12 PM
WarEagleRK said...: 200; 2:13 PM
