Baylor & no TV

[Nuyoika]

No why? It's on SNY.

I love SNY.

I have been a Directv subscriber for years and am fortunate to have access to SNY, BTN, SEC, Fox Sports, ESPN channels, etc. If it's televised I'll probably be able to watch it (unless it's raining profusely in my neighborhood).

And.....Baylor loses tonight as our women play a great game.

Likewise and this is why I will NEVER get rid of DirecTV plus since they merged with AT&T you get so much extra stuff without cost. FXnetworks.com... Simpsonsworld.com... plus all UConn games what more could you really ask for?

Longhorn Network (which I have for no extra fee as a DTV Sports Pack subscriber) and NFL Sunday Ticket with Red Zone Xhannel (which I have and happily pay for, all in HD).

Some people get competitive about who their respective TV providers are and who is better, but I have been a DirecTV customer since January 2008 and have loved every second of it. If you have someone different and feel the same way, more power to you.

SNY has national distribution, but typically on the extended sports package. But just about every sports bar in the country has it available if you don't subscribe yourself.
People are making this into a big deal and it is just pretty standard fare for WCBB. With the ESPN streaming option, at least half the houses on any street in America can watch the game if they want to.

If you say half the houses on any CITY street in America--I could agree.
Harrisonburg tried to "wire" the city at least twice--and failed twice--I haven't followed the saga lately.
Only recently have I had SnY---.
Streaming on my radio to radio internet connection--just Ain't the best for viewing. at times.
Sports bars?? Try putting Uconn WBB on the TV in any of the JMU occupied sports bars.
Fibre optic-s apparently is only for cities or towns close by--800 ft of it run through my property--without access.

Fried okra delicious. Boiled? Ugh. The juice has the constituency of snot, with the occasional seed. A thoroughly repulsive sight and taste. If you really can't wait, just catch a cold, sniff back and reminisce.

Gumbo without okra--ain't no Gumbo at all. Gumbo is "thickened" in one of two ways---okra or sassafras leaves (gumbo file). Most La NOrlins (New Orleans for Yankees) use Okra--
I grind my own Sassafras leaves add my own (New Orleans) spices then clean out the refrigerator with a can of tomatoes cook for 1/2 hour --salivating again.

You'd probably turn your nose up at Philippine (phonetically)Bal look.

No, and you can't make me.

I'm loving it because I get Eric Frede and Meghan Culmo calling the game and Sue Bird in studio! I'll take that over ESPN. #MulkeySulky

Geno Show 1/2 hour before game on SNY.

Unfortunately, for us west coast folks we can't enjoy

California is great I love it here but I get homesick over just 2 things...

Pizza and SNY coverage of UCONN

There are ways and there are ways--just because you are from Brooklyn does not mean you've seen them all!!!
Philippine bar treat---egg with embryo buried for a number of years--top of egg cut open==suck out contents. That's a TREAT. How does that compare to okra//

Today was a Starbucks and a buttered bagel from Murray's. Yesterday was a small banana creame from a local. Yeah, I'm rubbing it in below skin deep. Whatcha gonna do about it?

If you have access to ATT U-verse they also offer SNY as part of their extra sports package. I'm in SC and watch all the mens and womans games that are on SNY. Now if only they would stop blocking out the Mets

Sports Bars: you are correct. That is where I went years ago. Even if you don't drink, go and order a soda and a snack.

Thanks a lot!! My wife read this and packed her bags. She's looking forward to an '
"egg cream" whatever that is??????

When I was a small boy, my dear Missouri grandmother would make me a cup of sassafras tea. It was a sublime treat. Ever tried it?

My rural route Mail Man cuts me Sassy branches and I dry out the leaves and then pound them into powder. A number of drinks used Sassafrass --part of lost history.
Thanks B.B. do I prepare it like regular tea--straight or milk and sweetener (sugur)???

 

[johnnyc]

Nothing directly to do with eggs or cream.....basically it is a chocolate or vanilla soda. Early on there was nothing better than playing stick ball or basketball all day and taking a break to head to the candy store for an egg cream!


Later on.....an egg cream and breakfast sandwich was a pretty good hangover helper.

Chocolate milk, vanilla syrup and seltzer water. A Brooklyn staple. You can however get a vanilla egg cream.

Oh yeah man.

 

[Checkmate]

does ESPN really think more people want to see Liberty vs Coastal Carolina mens basketball ? or is there some limit to their WBB contract ?

My Grandmother took a few sticks of the sassafras and simply boiled it with a dab of sugar. When the boiling mixture was strained then cooled a bit in the cup, we always added maybe a teaspoon of sugar. It tasted like nothing else. In the dark days of the depression, rural folks made this tea instead of pekoe tea or coffee, as neither was as freely available.

I was indoctrinated in Middle Village, L.I., NY.

Espn3 is not a channel on the dial. It is ESPN streaming.

True, but I watch it on TV via Apple TV (or whichever device you have).

 

[DaddyChoc]

remember... there will be a whole season of games on SNY, I don't understand the moaning... suddenly we're friendly to the ESPN Network smh

1. Most Out of state UConn fans dont get SNY
2. Wcbb fans and general sports fans outside the northeast don't get SNY

One of the best, biggest games of the year was not easily available to many.
