I am so tired of seeing that the periphery ESPN channels get these games. i pay enough for Comcast and have to pay extra to see UCONN on ESPN-. Just more taking from the fans. Pay and pay and pay. Put the games on the main channels!!

It's so tiring it's why I just decided yesterday, I'm just gonna go to the game because why not it's not a bad drive at all, a short drive for most so it's not to late to go still for anyone who actually wants to see the game without the hassle and scam of streaming.

In college football, the home team controls the TV rights. UConn has no say about UMass and UAB having only ESPN plus TV contracts. Plus, as an independent, we’re lucky we can find 12 games, much less finding games where we like the road TV arrangements.

we have the Disney+, ESPN+, Hulu package courtesy of my son. Comes in handy when the grandbabies come over & want to watch tv. So getting this game is a bonus. The only drag is when the 5 year old insists on watching multiple episodes of Bluey or Cocomelon...
I feel your pain. Especially with Cocomelon. Those songs haunt my sleep sometimes.

OK love my huskies, but I don't have tv access. So guess it's a bender going to my local sports bar. Bender because, just because.

Bleed Blue.

ps Very proud of my 5% fixed income portfolio.
Yup, I'm old.
Methstream. Try it

This is the thing that is the most underappreciated thing DB has done. The fact that not only are all our games on TV but on linear cable is amazing. For being an abysmal program, the fact he got CBSSN to carry all our home games is a stroke of magic.

So this game isn't on "real" TV. Disappointing.

I don't have ESPN+ and I don't want to pay Disney/ABC/ESPN any more than I have already. I've noticed there are so many more basketball games on Plus this season than there were last season.

It costs a lot to get broadcast staff willing to go to the famed McSquirt Colosseum............once you've seen that place you'll know how little the MA legislature cares about its flagship university.
Today's spelling lesson: Coliseum and colosseum are both common spellings of the word referring to (1) the famous Roman amphitheater built in the first century A.D., and (2) any large amphitheater used for sports or other public events. Neither spelling is considered wrong in either use".......

I'm glad the kids aged past that one.

A few months ago I learned my daughter loves watching Bluey to help unwind, and because she has a Blue Heeler dog. She is also a junior in college.

As for the game on ESPN+, I appreciate fans willing to day drink at a bar just to watch the game, or actually get a ticket to see the game in person because dealing with getting ESPN+ is too much of a hassle. Piss and tread water- only one shall win.

And yes, having our AD have all our home games on CBSSN is a huge win for our fan base.

Bluey, like many cartoons, are really for older audiences. Does she have the dog at school, or are you watching it for her?

that would be fine if I wasn't with family 300 miles away from the stadium.

I'm not going to lie, I was kinda bummed when my now 10yo stopped watching Bluey, a little over a year ago!! Lol It really can be watched at all ages.

She lives off-campus and the dog is hers.

I pretty much get everything and I don't even watch that much TV. But there are deals to be had if you strike when the iron's hot. Peacock is worth $20 for the year, c'mon. I get ESPN+, Disney+ and Hulu for free as part of a friends and family bundle. I just started getting MAX for a year and got money back.

And another layer to it. The dog is a hunting dog and goes with her every weekend during deer season up to the hunt camp.
