Re: time warner not the problem

[Dan Marshall]

You just pointed out my point... In huggins first three years... Like I said
the program was set back by about 10 years (you seem to be saying 13 years)

Thank you for helping me make my point.

At this point, I really don't care how many so-called national TV games we
have.  If push comes to shove, I'll go to a local drinking establishment and
have them switch one of their satellite TVs to ESPNU.  Or, I'll drive down
to Cincy and go to the game in person.

In Huggins' 1st three years, UC rarely got a sniff of national TV exposure
and it certainly did not hurt their ability to win games.
