Game 9—@Buffalo Bulls

[LZIp]

Listening to 1350, and the weather is a mess. Not great for our offense. I'd probably take Buffalo against the spread if its up to 20. Wouldn't mind Ball coming back tonight either.

MTB, DeAndre Scott, and Gathney are all back. Weather sounds miserable. Swirling wind with rain.

Guathney, MTB, and Scott back.

Since there has been some tech discussions on here, maybe somebody could help me out (starting to feel old being out of touch with some of the new technology). Long story short, I want to cancel my cable because all I use it for now is sports, especially since me and the wife just got a firestick and can watch essentially everything else, sans sports, with it. The only reason I'm keeping cable for now is due to having to my account to log onto ESPN3 (Zips football/basketball) and the Fox Sports app (Cavs). Does anybody know if those apps are still available if you only have internet service? Or is that on a provider-by-provider basis?

 

Those two apps (and I stream 80 percent of that stuff anyway instead of actually watching on actual cable) is why I haven't dumped it yet because I have to enter my cable information to get it. Luckily, I live in Wadsworth that has its own city-owned cable company that is pretty "inexpensive," but that would still be a $50 or so savings per month if I could just keep the internet portion and still have access to the apps I stream through my City Link (Wadsworth's cable/internet provider) account.

Good. Depth is important in crappy weather games.

Yes you need cable logins for both. Specifically you need to have a login that has FSOhio to watch the Cavs games on Fox Sports Go.

 

I just borrow my parents login as they are too old school to ever cut the cord. Maybe see if you can do that or make a deal with a friend/family member. You could also subscribe to Sling TV (not sure if you could get cavs, but could find out) or Playstation vue for 20-35 a month.

You may want to look into SlingTV.

I just tried Kodi and it's still giving me "this game is blacked out in your area"

Kodi is an amazing piece of technology, but it's a little more complicated than the average user is used to.

 

Also, unless you have a VPN that you're running it through, there's that your ISP will throttle your connection if they detect you using it. Time Warner (now Spectrum) has done it to me in the past.

[Blue & Gold]

I've been looking forward to this since 5 minutes after the Ball State game

I'm glad you said this because I was about to flip. Yes it's in the Time Warner Sport ch 1311

[LZIp]

Try firstrowsports if any of you cannot get anything else to work. Be careful clicking on certain pop ups though.

What is Ball's injury anyway?

High ankle sprain I believe vs Wisconsin.

[K92]

Nothing works for me.

[UAZippers]

Reddit.com/R/cfbstreams has a topic on the game. I got the first link to work, but obviously use these at your own risk.

Wish I could help Keener. Maybe it will be available for replay.

[LZIp]

sheesh. Catch the ball Coney.

[wadszip]

They must be reading ZNO, lol.

 

Another reason why the TWC deal was horrible for the MAC.
