USC plays Arizona State today in Tempe. And who will get to watch the game on the Pac-12 Network? Not the DirecTV subscribers.

All the more reason to not use Direct TV. Always knew I never needed it.
I believe that Verizon is similar to Direct.
Speaking of DTV, I just received a call from an articulate rep who would have benefited from ESL classes. Just because I am such a longtime and loyal customer, he will allow me to receive FREE OF CHARGE, for 1 month, a package that sells for $13.50 per mo. I told him that I was not interested in that crap with my only concern being to somehow get the P12 Network. Without missing a beat, he asked me what I would like instead of his package. I swear to God.
I said, “Sorry, I was not aware you had auditory problems, I will simplify…P as in Putrid, A as in Awful, C as in Crap…” spelling out the whole magilla without once having to resort to proper phonetic R/T procedure. I concluded with, “That is what I think of your money-grubbing employer”.
As my 4 receivers have been with DTV in excess of 15-20 years, I assume that I have had sufficient time to be considered masochistic.
The above is a true story.
It’s Friday night! Who stays home to watch sports?
Options are often limited for those who are older than dirt.
This is a shame. Cable is such a miserable way to watch TV. Direct TV is a far better vehicle. Oh well. Nobody watches college basketball anyway until March.
Oh and before I forget…don’t forget me come hiring time for that AD position. FIGHT ON!
I always admired you as coach of the Bears. You would be a fine choice but I think USC needs a person of color or female to finally have a meaningful position. Let’s show the world we are changing and moving in the right direction!
Dave is a good announcer now.
You should crop that avatar image even more ’til there ain’t nothing there but that ‘stache like a big ol’ caterpillar on a rock.
The blogger has more hair on his head than Wannstedt has in that stache
But which one radiates most majestically strength, courage, perseverance, and the other manly virtues? A tough call.
Hmmmmmmmm
I have my DVR set. Dish Network works just fine. Maybe the “one whose name can’t be written” should finally after how many years, switch providers, especially since it’s his job. Should even be a tax deduction.
Getting another dish on his house might be a violation of some city ordnance in So Cal. I know the city I lived in in OC wanted me to pull a permit to have the dish installed in 1996, yeah no. The same city MADE you pull a permit for installing pathway lights, no wonder I left Cali
The “one whose name can’t be written.” I LOVE IT 🙂
I’m moving to DISH. 3 year price lock, same channels as DirecTV, I don’t watch the NFL so I don’t care about Sunday Ticket, DISH has better music channels and the price will be much less and I get the PAC 12 network, yippee !
Also Dish gets every Pac12 area with alternate channels.
LOL, I really don’t care if they have the PAC 12 network or not
I see that now John.
Does Dish have all six pac 12 network channels? AT&T uverse has 3, Pacific Northwest, Bay area, and Los Angeles.
Fight on Big Bam
Love reading you comments every day
It’s just one channel. There really is no Pac12/Los Angeles/Arizona/Bay Area/Washington/Oregon/etc…
It’s one main channel. If there are four games all at the same time there will be 3 alternate channels used at the same time besides the main Pac12 channel. I believe Dish is the only company who will carry that option to show all games. For instance the spring games usually have 2-3 games at once and they are available on alternative channels. For free.
Comcast/Xfinity work just fine here. And then there’s the Pac12 app when need be.
How about a live chat?
Oh please no
The use of other’s nicknames on that live chat from signing day is now making its way to these forums. Just looks above. Sam Bam’s been hijacked, Fred Sampson, and others.
Jerks
Yeah, a live chat.
I would relish that about as much as having a hot poker inserted where the sun don’t shine.
DirecTV is the only one left who has not come around to Pac12. Larry Scott needs to go do something new.
This has gone on for way too long. And Scott is right Larry Scott is solely to blame. Forget about your personal preference, the majority of sports fans have Direct TV. I’ve watched big 10 network and Espn sec network for a couple of inside the program type of shows.
The point is why have you’re network not on the provider that has the biggest audience?? I thought that with the AT&T merger this would be fixed. That’s how I get Pac 12 network. My condo that I rent out has U-verse and I chrome cast the pac 12 network of my S6. And pac 12 network has some good programming like “The Drive” and “varsity days”.
But people like me who have had the Sunday ticket since 1998 are not going to switch to cable or to dish for one channel. My family in the Midwest and east coast wonder why the pac 12 network is not on Direct TV.
Way to go Larry Scott!!!! Way to promote the conference!!! Let’s choose the losing side of the cable war for a couple of bucks just like the Dodgers. And have a product 70% of the fans can’t even access without making a couple hundred dollar change.
I’m sorry, I can’t even describe how much this pi$$es me off.
I’m so fu**ing pi**ed that the Dodgers channel still isn’t on Dish. Vin Scully’s last season on the mic. The Dodgers are really getting under my skin with this BS!
I’m soooo with you brother Bam. This is gone on way too long is not fair to real fans I grew up watching the team. Time Warner uses the Dodgers and cable trying to use the pac-12 networks as leverage against the dish companies. It just makes me sick!
Fight On brother
Trust me. Nobody wanted to see this game. he players must have been told before the game that if they got any court dust on their unis, they would turn to salt.
