Mix of Non-Conference and Big 12 Home Contests to Begin Nov. 13

University of Texas men’s basketball fans will see 12 UT regular season games on Longhorn Network this season. The games – nine non-conference and three Big 12 matchups – will further enhance the channel’s live events offerings. In addition, the network will televise basketball-themed programs to take viewers inside the team to get to know the players and coaches as the Longhorns begin their 2011-12 campaign.

Dave Brown, LHN vice president, programming, said, “We’ve compiled a terrific regular-season schedule in our first year of coverage. These games, paired with our comprehensive pre- and post-game coverage shows, continue our mission of delivering high profile programming to fans of UT athletics.”

Rick Barnes, head men’s basketball coach at Texas, said, “Our program is excited to have so many games televised by Longhorn Network this coming season. When our fans and college basketball viewers in general see the quality of the telecasts, they will think they are watching an ESPN or ESPN2 national telecast. In addition, the Texas GameDay show that will air courtside at the Erwin Center creates a great opportunity for our students and fans to come early and provide a great home-court advantage for our team.”

my email response to those listed on the PR release.

Hello,

I had noticed that you have the correct name of Texas State for your opponent listed here http://www.espnmediazone3.com/us/2011/09/15/longhorn-network-to-televise-12-texas-men%E2%80%99s-basketball-games-in-2011-12/#printpreview

You used the correct name of a recently name changed university (previous known as Southwest Texas State). What mind boggles me is how you release a PR statement with the name North Texas State in it? The name was changed over 23 YEARS ago to the University of North Texas. What does that say about the due diligence you gave this press release and who TU’s opponents were this year? The third largest school in Texas and you gave it a name they dropped 23 years ago. Please change this to reflect the correct name of the University of North Texas and ensure that any future releases from your studio reflect the proper name of the school. Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely,

Maduro Newbie

There....we got it changed. I will post their response.

Great job. Hopefully a few more people get this channel. UT will be down this year so I think we can make this a good game.

I'm sure they'll correct our name. The important thing is we're getting TV time. Once the game is over not only will the Mean Green Nation be proud and more aware of what JJ and staff have built at UNT, but the Longhorn Nation will as well. Not to mention folks watching the network across the US that might not be UT fan's at all.

Go Mean Green!!!

Understood but with even a minute chance of them putting North Texas State on the screen that night would be horrible. Crap like this should not exist. The head of the PR was recently promoted from intern status late last year. I am not saying it was her fault but....it still should not have happened.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      I'm gonna say yes...but probably not as much as people (including me) will want. unless something has dramatically changed in the last two weeks in practice, I gotta think the rotation is still the rotation and given that we're coming in off 2 straight loses, my bet is that Hodge will want the rotation guys playing as much together as possible heading into conference play. had we beaten High Point and/or if we had a better schedule that didn't have a two week gap in games, maaaaaaaybe RH would've experimented/tried to build more depth a little more...but given circumstance I'm preparing for little more than freshmen cameos.

      Portal WR Cameron Dorner - Shepherd

      Committed to North Texas. No idea what happened to the X links above. https://www.journal-news.net/journal-news/shepherd-transfer-portal-frenzy-d1-commitments-big-offers-and-a-standout-returns-home/article_237da94a-66bd-5bc5-b98f-299985e895f2.html According to this article, he turned down offers from 12 other FBS/FCS schools to come to Denton. It also lists him as a team captain.

      Breaking: North Texas lands Miami QB Transfer (Free)

      We can complain all we want about Aune but he holds the single season record in TD passes. While QB play wasn't perfect after Fine left, it was a heck of a lot better than right before Fine got here. I completely understand that. This is no different than any HS prospect or even an FBS transfer. Not all QBs can replicate their previous success in a new system. I'd still rather have a guy who was accomplished than somebody who never saw the field. Every transfer is a risk no matter what. Your logic is severely flawed though. Cam Ward was once a big time FCS transfer and was just a Heisman finalist with that Miami team you're trashing. Joe Burrow was once a career backup on an Ohio State team that couldn't win the championship and look what he did. If you want to get even crazier with it all, Stetson Bennett was once a walk-on who then transferred to a junior college before transferring back to Georgia to win a couple National Championships. We can go on forever with this. We got a guy with success at the D1 level. More success than Chandler Rogers had. There's no reason to believe he won't work out here.
