I've thoroughly enjoyed the SECN. And it's not football related in its roots. I've watched more baseball, softball, et. al. over the last five years than I ever thought I'd be able to without living in Tuscaloosa.
Now, the biggest memory I have about their launch? Fans and the media's overractions. NO! you might say ... but yep, and in spades.
The first game was A&M vs UoSC where we saw the Aggies blow out the 'Cocks on their home field. Do you remember what we were hearing? Not only was it A&M national title contenders but we were also force fed "Hill for Heisman."
I can remember yelling hold on!!! It's just one game!
And we ended up seeing what A&M has been known for the last five years as well .... collapsing in crunch time.
