ESPN to broadcast Texas spring game

[JLEW1818]

ESPN will televise Texas' spring game on Sunday, April 3 at 3 p.m. ET.

The game will be the first of four spring games televised by ESPN. LSU and Arkansas will also have their spring games televised in the following weeks. ESPN3.com will broadcast Florida State's game on April 16, as well.

Will Mack find a way to **** it up and lose this game as well?

[tcrb]

They will count it as their first win.

Will Texas State be there ?

So much for getting rid of all distractions.

The last time OU had their spring game on ESPN that's where the epic thread from hornfans came out.

"Sam Bradford...Seems like he sucks"

So I hope none of you say anything like that

Does ESPN know how embarassing Texas was last year ? How can ESPN think this game is worth televising after the stinker Texas was last year ?

So Mack was going to count a bowl game victory as win #1 towards the 2011 season. I wonder if he will count this one? Unless the 2s win of course.

I'm more interested in that FSU spring game.

Funny you mention that... a few years ago when A&M had a craptacular season their official athletic site counted the spring game as a win... and the Aggie fans melted down over it so much (in ways that only Aggies can) that they quickly changed it.

I liked watching OU's spring game. I remember Demarco Murray getting tons of hype from ESPN after he broke out during the spring game. I don't understand why Bob put an end to it. It's all about OU for the entire day and gives an extra "game" of exposure...

This should be interesting. For all the talk about Mack - turning off the distractions -- this is not one of them. I'm not hearing good things about several areas of Texas team, Oline in particular.

I sure hope that those rumblings are true then. I would love to see the Whorns finish in the bottom half again.

Aren't the 2's "Texas", too? I think we underrate Mack. The cunning son of a gun has found a way to guarantee victory. This one is an assured 'W'. Man that guy is one hell of a coach.

I can give you 300 million reasons.

Money talks and you know the rest...

Good deal.I watched last spring. The #1 offense couldn't run on the #2 defense. I had an inkling then they might struggle.
