The alleged Mtn deal has a very "so what"
feel to it, it seems, among the fans.
I think my point of view, shared by many others, is sinking in. Just because you are on satellite, doesn't mean that anyone watches you. What percent of DTV subscribers have the sports pack? The deal is still a disaster. Just less of a disaster than when it didn't have a satellite deal. |

1. I'm selfish and I want to watch every game. I'm very happy in that regard, and since nobody nationally watches most BYU games anyway, I'm OK with the MTN for some stuff. Nobody watched the BYU at CSU BB game 10 years ago on Blue and White sports network and picked up by channel 30 in Utah except for me and a few others. 2. The games that used to be on ESPN or regional ABC, it's very unfortunate we don't ever have a chance at that kind of exposure. I'm upset about that no matter what they do with the MTN. |

But to maintain my high roller cred, I am willing to hire you for a year or so to come down here and set up my new HD-DVR.

Let me guess: Western States Homeowners Association? Headed by Bobbie Dooley?

I'll take that job. If you give me room and board, I won't even need to be paid.
