Do we know that was his call or that he agreed with it at the time? I'm assuming his co-coordinator and Swinney were heavily involved in the decision ...

I'm sure they were but do you think he disagrees with the move now? I think he would look at like, hey, i've been a part of this decision before and making the move, even with the incumbents credentials,  won us a championship. 

I don't think we should look to far into whos takes the first snap. Lets see how the snap count goes as the game goes. CJS has shown he's willing to pull the original starter if the backup looks better even after four games, even if the incumbent has a conference title and took his team to the CFP.

I didn't see it, but didn't he hit the ball out of anger or something?

Here's the video. Apparently he had disputed some calls but this seems accidental and the immediate reaction seems that way as well. It's almost like a basketball player kinda reacts to a foul and then nonchalauntly flips the ball in a general direction and hits the ref not paying attention. I couldn't possibly seem that leading to an ejection 

Ok so I don't watch much tennis or really any at all, but i'm trying to get into it as a I now have 5 year old step daughter who is becoming interested. anywho, I saw what happened to Novak Djokovic at the US open and I really need an explanation of this rule. From my perspective the official was not paying attention, which is probably a bad idea when on the playing surface with a professional athlete, and then gets hit. Then the athlete was disqualified from the tournament. What kind of ridiculousness is that. Is that the case in any other sports? Anyone paying attention to tennis?

Only preference I'd have would be for Philly ..... having a 03-04 ECF vibe to it.

agreed, I'd rather beat Philly, than the other NY team.

Correct...plus MLB (which I don’t think Hulu has). 

No, but I'm pretty big baseball fan and I still really don't need MLB network. Baseball tonight is about the only thing that's worth it. As long as John Smolts is calling games, I can get all the analysis I need. Just gotta get Billy Ripken in somewhere.

Good article on YouTube TV vs Hulu

Hulu Live vs. YouTube TV: What's the Best Live TV Streaming Service?

If you’re unsure which live TV...

 

To sum it up, do you want unlimited DVR or huge on demand selection?

How are you all saving money by ditching cable?  All these streaming services have to have an internet connection to run.  I cancelled my cable two years ago, so they just jacked up the price of my internet.  I'm paying $80 a month for just internet with Frontier.  If I add Youtube tv or Hulu Live that will bump me up to what I was paying for cable.  They screw you either way I guess.  

That's also the highest internet package. I pay 40 for internet because I don't have the highest package thus saving money.  You pay for internet either way though so you really just have to look at how much the cable packages vs the streaming packages and in particular to sports cable packages don't come close.  

You also have too consider that most cable services charge you per tv, most streaming services don't as long as you are all on the same internet signal.

You can also switch your packages on a dime to save money in a pinch, something most cable providers don't allow.

From what I saw, it was only one or two that they were expecting to play.

Ok, I see your point, I am not aware of cable systems as I have not used it in over 23 years. I know with my comcast wireless set up I get both ESPN+ and ESPN3. I stopped using the later when I saw the same games on ESPN+. 

Right, they show a lot of games on both but they try not crossover. 

this is a pretty helpful article I found little while back when I was researching something.

Standalone streaming service brings...

21 minutes ago, NewEnglandBull said:

ESPN is not a channel it is a streaming service that is based an internet provider. I know last year that if a game was on ESPN 3 it was also on ESPN+. That is how I watched our first game. Pretty sure it will be a moot point as our contract is with ESPN+ so I don’t see us with ESPN3 games any longer. 

Right but ESPN has deals with cable providers that force people to have cable packages in order to watch ESPN3, by showing all of the games on ESPN+ it cuts the providers out. I know I had this issue last season because I didn’t have a cable package and couldn’t watch a game.

If a game is on ESPN3 then it is also on ESPN+. 

Not all the time. And you don’t get espn3 with a espn+ Subscription. It has to do with the eapn3 being a part of their cable packages so they can’t show those games on their own streaming service because of the tv deals. It might have changed but I have personally ran into this issue.

Does anyone know if ESPN+ carries all ESPN content like ESPN, ESPN2, etc.?  Or just the stuff that no one wants to watch like USF football.   

Espn+ does not include their normal channels or anything on espn3. But you do get espn3 when you get Hulu live. You just log in with it.

Yes, we just time shift.  Just saw on their site they give you 50 hours in the Cloud.

I found that I basically stopped recording because I could just play back most of the shows I was recording. I could never watch recorded games anyway but I can see that being a benefit.

So then I could call Frontier, tell them I just want internet and send back their DVR boxes and keep their router?

is the DVR just for recording? if so HULU live will give certain hours and has  a TON of playback content

You're getting your sports fix on there?  CBSSN, NBCSN? ESPN? I'm trying to look on their site while chatting with you guys.

All of it. plus BIG ten, ACC, Sky sports. the whole gauntlet from what I have found.

My problem is that a few years ago I had my TV and sound installed by some guy who has my main TV viewing room on wireless remotes and has about 3 million wires and cables in a closet to have out of sight.  The guy was good but has become unreliable and it takes weeks to get him out to reprogram or hook up anything. I've got Chromecast and a DVR and don't know if I could even add a ROKU at this point.  I think HULU is on my TV and DVR.

If hulu is on your TV, you are good, just upgrade your account. But yes for the Roku you would need to hook it up with a HDMI port.

BB12, quick question...I'm about to dump Spectrum TV and enhance my Hulu to live TV.  My question has to do with the "ads" version of hulu and how that affects live channels.  I assume you have to watch the adds on live tv no matter what level (ads vs. no ads) you have.  Is that correct?

Yes, you would. It would only apply to their normal (Im lacking a better term) content. 

3 minutes ago, CousinRicky said:

This isn't a ROKU thing that you plug into a HDMI port?

you dont have to use a roku if you can do it through your TV or DVD player. Gaming consoles work too (although you don't strike me as a gamer). In my house I use Smart TV, Roku and PS4 all running the same account

1 minute ago, CousinRicky said:

So you access this through a smart tv or, in my case probably, a DVD player with apps?

Yes, or I also use a ROKU. really cheap and easy to use. just pick one up at walmart and plug it in. Download the apps and go. you can also use a firestick 

I use HULU live and its been great, has more sports channels than I ever had with directv at half the cost.  I can also attest that I live in an area with little to no good internet options and have had very little issues with connectivity and streaming loss.

In his first year?

All of his jobs.

Not true, in two of his four stops he improved the win total from the previous year in his first year. Which considering this is the first program he has inherited that wasn't a dumpster fire, Can't really say that underachieving.

Athlon has them ranked #63 out of 130. Even with all of the conferences not playing the math does add up to a jump to 19.

Right? There is a legitimate argument to made that they were fifth best team in CUSA last season, I mean c'mon now

How is UAB at 19? 6-2 in conference USA and 9-5 overall last season..........and the losses were not all that close.
