  1. Wife and I had a convo about ditching cable today. She is concerned about not being able to watch NU volleyball. We can watch with HULU yes?
    I know many of you have cut the cord but I only glance at the conversations.

      I thought the TV schedule should be out already, but I looked at last year, and last year NET didn't list their games until August 21st. And last year the red-white scrimmage was on Aug 18th and the first match was on Aug 24th. Soooo.......if things are similar this year, I would expect the ESPN networks and BTN to announce their TV broadcasts sometime during the week of August 19th and NET to announce theirs during the week of August 26th. I don't remember how firm the schedule remained throughout the season. It seems they added some Nebraska games (mainly BTN) but didn't delete any.

      If you're mainly concerned about Nebraska sports, Hulu and YouTube TV provide the best value. Playstation Vue is not far behind. Sling TV, even if you get the Blue and Orange package together is less expensive, but they do not have BTN which is a deal breaker. DirecTV Now is pretty expensive. To get BTN, plus the ESPN and Fox Sports channels that carry Nebraska sports, it is almost equivalent to a cable bill.

      Whoever you choose, take advantage of the free trial. And during the free trial, pick out some live sporting events and see if you have 'buffering' issues. I picked Hulu a couple of years ago and after a few  months I had to switch due to the interruptions and skipping during live sports events. I tried Hulu again this year and had the same problems. My internet connection is fast enough (70 mbps) and I don't have that issue with Playstation Vue or YouTube TV.

      The wildcard as far as volleyball is concerned is games on NET. If you can pick them up with a local digital antenna, then you don't have to worry. I live out of state so I don't have that option. Sometimes they (NET) stream the game on their website, sometimes they don't. When they don't, BTN will sometimes pick up the game on one of their alternate channels. But there were times last year when I ended up listening to John Baylor on the radio because the game was broadcast by NET only. Still, John Baylor on the radio is not a bad option.

  3. Just saw some crazy theory that Frost was going to bolt for the NFL and 10M. Either the Niners, Skins or Jags. We might need the a return from the sock!

      "because the NFL teams always hire young college coaches who won 4 games last year"

       

      That's correct because you have to win at least 5 games in a season, go 35-40 for your career, and get fired before an NFL team will hire a young (ex) college coach.

       

      By the way, does Frost have any ties to Sean McVay?
