zippy5 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Northwestern would be a fun road trip. Cubbies are home that weekend too. Not a Cubs fan one bit but Wrigley is a blast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WD UA 2015 Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Nebraska would be fun. The little town in Ohio I grew up in had a Corn Festival every year. I bet Nebraska has really cool Corn Festivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a Cubs fan one bit but Wrigley is a blast Visited Wrigley for the first time ever a little over a month ago. It was pretty cool. It's weird that the bleachers are separated from the rest of the stadium, though. Also got to enjoy a Cubs loss! Lots of televised games. I love it, especially week 1 on Fox against Nebraska. @Cykron should invite us all to a massive tailgating party in Ames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDMac Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 If you've never been to Nebraska for a football game and you have the time/money, make it a priority to get down for the opener this year. Even though Big Red has been down for a number of years, that fanbase is maniacal (in a good way). Travelled out there for a game when I was enrolled at CU (when they were both still in the Big12) and that place is a great college football town. We'll be there (and the rest of the away games this year) braving the sea of red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean its the MAC, so I don't expect quality reporting when it comes to it. Without looking at the new articles, I think its a pretty even 4 team race in the East this year between OU, Buffalo, Miami, and Akron. Should be a competitive season.

WD UA 2015 Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Verified that espn+ is a standalone service that you need to pay for even if you already have espn app access. $5/month. I remember paying $40 just to watch the Tennesse game on demand from espn in 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Iowa State is using its game with South Dakota State for the one that is on our own Cyclones.tv network, so at least you won't have to deal with that for our game.

This is what is going to happen with cord cutting. Everyone is going to offer their service for a nominal price ($5 a month isn't really much if you can watch all the normal ESPN programming too).. and then eventually we'll all want everything in one place again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thats the case, I agree its not a bad deal at all for all the sports you could care to watch. Still redundant for me however as I have somebody's login that I use.
