Edmunds missed the announcement that Xm signed MLB for the 2005 season, so they now have College sports (better than NFL, IMO, since NFL can be picked up anywhere), MLB (go Cubs!), and NASCAR (I don't really care).

XM+O&A > Sirius+Stern

I hate baseball and I would still rather listen to a baseball game than listen to a football game. How the F can you sit around listening to football?

They don't have the good schools though!!! Sirius signed a deal with the 23 top college programs. So if you wanna listen to say the Wolverines, the Trojans or the Tigers (Auburn or Alabama) you gotta by Sirius. If you want to listen to Western Michigan play the Akron Zips, stick with XM.

List of Teams:

Auburn Tigers
Missouri Tigers
Alababama Crimson Tide
Florida Gators
Tennessee Volunteers
Texas 'Horns
The Ohio State University
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
SC Trojans
UCLA Bruins
LSU Tigers
Oklahoma Sooners
Michigan Wolverines
Nebraska Corn Huskers
Colorado Buffaloes
Iowa State Cyclones
Kentucky Wildcats
Kansas Jayhawks
Oklahoma St. Cowboys
Syracuse Orange (I hate how they aren't the orangemen anymore)
USC Game Cocks
T A&M Aggies
Vanderbilt ???? Commodores I think
Texas Tech Red Raiders
West Virginia Mountaineers
Naval Academy Midshipmen


Pretty good list, but where are the following:

Penn St.
Wisconsin
The U
Seminoles
Va Tech

You're kidding? I went with XM, because I wanted to be able to get Big 10 (specifically Wisconsin Badgers) coverage. :(
