I assume Sirius will still be able to broadcast the Ohio St., Michigan, LSU, Florida, Louisville, Oklahoma, etc. broadcasts? Since they own the rights to nearly every team in the BCS. I mean, XM had to do something, since the only schools they could broadcast i assume would be Wake Forest against Louisville (and not Louisville's feed)
I am hearing that XM will be the exclusive Satellite radio broadcast of the BCS games....no Sirius at all - way to go XM to lock this up!
Yea sorry rjr, this is much like XM airing all the ACC basketball games, except Sirius has the NCAA locked down, so I can't listen to my ACC teams in the big dance.
i hope you guys find a tv and won't have to listen on the radio. but it feels good to have the bcs (i'm jealous sirius fan). GO GATORS!!! SEC RULES
I'm happy Flordia's in, Michigan had their chance, but I can't wait for OSU to kick Flordia's pants off, and for the Big Ten to show everyone how stinkey the SEC is. GO BUCKEYES! GO BLUE! GO BADGERS! GO NITTANY LIONS! Big Ten Rules!
i will root for Blue, but your buckeyes and lions are going to feel the rash of sec football. how can you say its a stinky division? did you know: sec is #1 in attendence for past 23 years? (74,416). #1 in all time bowl wins. (175) the most current nfl players. (261) and a 72.5% win percentage for non-conference game. come on: Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Tennesee, LSU, Arkansas, Georgia. even kentucky and south carolina had good years. anyway, didn't mean to go on a rant, college football rules! at least your not a rutgers fan who thinks they're the shit.
Sorry junior. is that the best the big ten has to offer? what do you think about the SEC now?
