looney

That sound you heard is all of my foreseeable autumn Saturdays clearing up on the calendar to make room for more productive endeavors.

That awful missed call on the fumble may have ended this game. 

Opening kickoff ended this game.

Did we all see that coming?

This ruling clock needs to be accompanied by a shorter play clock.  

How many plays have we run? 

30? 35?

That feeling when them losing 7 yards on first and goal actually makes you feel worse about the defenses chances...

NFL+ just added NFL Network and NFL Redzone in a package without needing a provider subscription.

Didn't realize this. Very interesting.

And you're right. I'm sure the service providers are doing everything they can to hang on to the ESPN/ABC family of live sports because if (when) it becomes standalone I'm saying goodbye to <insert provider name here>.

Should be able to use your YouTube login on the ESPN app and watch ESPN+. I don't have it but that's how it works for Hulu.

I have ESPN+ through the Disney/Hulu/ESPN bundle, but I sign in with *both* my provider account AND my ESPN+ account in their app (it's easy to miss that you can do both in the settings) to make sure I have access to everything.

Possibly fubo. Just looked into it and thinking about signing up. Not sure how much it costs but I'm Not wanting to rely on the "free" sites like ustvgo... which isn't available to me anymore. Anyone try fubo before? Let me know.

I switched.from YouTube TV to fubo briefly to get Bally Sports (they're the only pure streaming service who has that network and -at the time - the only place to get Braves/United games without blackouts in/near Atlanta.)

As it turns out, fubo is also missing the networks that carry the NCAA tournament (USA, trutv, etc.) so I switched back.

Now I'm getting MLS games through apple TV+.

And I like YouTube TV well enough to keep it for everything else, including auburn football, for all the reasons mentioned above.

Fubo is a bit pricier, esp the higher tiers.

I wouldn't bother with the crazy 4k addon with YouTube TV, fyi. Not enough channels and they tend to be jumpier streams (and, yes, my Internet is fast and my devices are wired, not on WiFi).

That's my $0.02.

I'm seeing tweets about a kid making a full-court putt for a new car. Anyone have video of him making it? Did they show it on air?

Scouring Google for these now. Love it.

Friends got us these slate coasters with a different play from a historic Auburn game…..thought they were so cool and unique. 

The irony for me will be if/when the NCAA basically eats itself because of all this. That, for all the chaotic reasons you've all mentioned, it becomes too much to manage or some legal action blows it up, at which a true minor league football league is established and collegiate football becomes amateur again because it can't keep up.

And I can't say I'd be sad about it.

Sorry for the run-on sentence.

I'm afraid we bout to be lost in the wilderness for 10 yrs.. see Tennessee

Well, I guess the good news (?) is we're already ~3 years in. 

Ugh.

Yep.  The Ivy League schools all have massive endowments.  Harvard got $50 billion in donations this year (per their website).  $50 billion. In one year.

If the Ivies ever begin caring about football, we are all screwed. Their alums make Yella look like a pauper. 

Need a "holy crap!" emoji reaction option for posts like this.

When the ESPN commentator called the play during the timeout? Nah. 

Watching with the sound off... Sorry... I guess I'm adding my own commentary.

Should we read anything into his calling Pegues's number on that 4th and goal? 

Gotta give props for the troll attempt if that's what it was.

Turned it off after 14-0.

Go enjoy your Saturday afternoon, folks. Not worth the heartache.

We ran out of referee credits.

No underneath routes to actually... You know... Get the first down.

Love that 2nd and 15 play call.

Must’ve caught LSU looking ahead to UTk. 

It would be funny if it weren't a 2022 reality 

Ha. I thought they'd called a hold but, no, it took a more egregious foul to earn a flag

Ashford channeling his inner Bo Nix!

<Don't you put that evil on me Ricky Bobby.gif>

Did we get a new coaching staff?

Robbie on the spot.

You guys. 

That was a quick slant.

I'm shook.
