I am more annoyed at the Youth Sports kickoff time.

And it’s 9am pacific.

That sucks.

chilango

I'll be there for that one.

ChiCityCoug

9/16/19 9:39am

Given time ESPN+ should gain great market penetration.

Tokolosh

9/16/19 9:40am

Is ESPN+ really going to be a thing? No way that's sustainable, right?

cougfanblue

9/16/19 9:40am

I thought it was a fad at first, but with Hulu & Disney+ it's staying.

Ned Schneebly

9/16/19 10:37am

It's the future. Most people in my generation don't even have cable.

Throwaway59840

9/16/19 11:03am

What generation is that? That statement works for both millenials and old folks.

Ned Schneebly

9/16/19 11:36am

Millennials, yes. Boomers, not so much. Note that I'm equating Satellite with

Throwaway59840

ESPN is what has sustained cable/satellite for so long

DesertBlues

9/16/19 2:46pm

Looks like it is $5 to watch. Lame but better than nothing.

BYUtka

9/16/19 9:40am

You are wrong. Nothing is a lot better than $5.

ochobeeguy

9/16/19 12:34pm

Then don't pay the $5 and get that "Nothing" you claim is better.

BYUtka

9/16/19 12:40pm

ochobeeguy

9/16/19 12:44pm

TIC alert...Paying nothing is better than paying $5

ochobeeguy

9/16/19 12:46pm

Not when paying nothing means you don't get to watch the game.

BYUtka

9/16/19 2:48pm

Remind me, ESPN+ is not available except through a separate purchase, correct?

RexIdaCoug

9/16/19 9:40am

Correct. It is a separate subscription.

jreid191

9/16/19 9:41am

I hate that I have to pay more to watch my team, even after I paid for ESPN.

zerigke

9/16/19 9:42am

This is the future

4mack

9/16/19 9:41am

I have ESPN+ and I love it and will bundle it with Disney+ and Hulu in Nov

nephicoug

9/16/19 9:41am

That bundle will be when ESPN+ really takes off IMHO. But it is already doing pretty well.

Tokolosh

9/16/19 9:42am

When can I buy that particular bundle?

Kuga

9/17/19 10:49pm

I believe in November

Tokolosh

9/18/19 11:01am

Me too. It’s great.

shammy

9/16/19 10:31am

But I was promised that we would have better TV access as an Indy

BYU Fan

9/16/19 9:42am

We do

Mr. Belding

9/16/19 9:43am

How many games will Boise & UCF have on ESPN+ this year?

BYU Fan

9/16/19 9:46am

You don't have a Roku, Apple TV or Chromecast in 2019?

molodyets

9/16/19 9:49am

Or just a smartTV? Almost every TV sold in the past several years can have ESPN+

Tokolosh

9/16/19 9:52am

Or PS4 or XBox?

2FarGone

9/16/19 9:52am

Or smart phone? You can stream through that as well. So many options!

TailgateU

9/17/19 9:52am

Nope - I watch TV for sports

BYU Fan

9/16/19 9:55am

You can likely access this through your TV if it can have apps installed.

Tokolosh

9/16/19 9:58am

I actually figured out how to cast it to my smart tv.

antiyewt

9/16/19 12:34pm

We can't control the TV coverage of road games like Umass

cougaman

9/16/19 9:51am

Honestly, BYU shouldn't schedule the game then

BYU Fan

9/16/19 9:57am

You should be the AD then, Genius.

Conan

9/16/19 10:03am

It's not that hard - just put it in the contract

Cougazul

9/16/19 10:15am

I rest my case.

Conan

9/16/19 2:07pm

Disagree. We don’t have to play at Umass but Toledo is a really good team

puntersarepeople

9/16/19 12:02pm

Toledo is a great team and I have a lot of respect for them

BYU Fan

9/16/19 12:31pm

It's better than the mountain.

Belboz

9/16/19 9:58am

Boise has four games scheduled for CBS Sports Network this year, which is not

mannheimadler

9/16/19 12:42pm

Oh, and if you want to go back the MW, Utah State has two games exclusively on

mannheimadler

9/16/19 12:44pm

You do. For $5 you couldn't get the mtn. You can't get mtn 1.2 (PAC network) for

BYUtka

9/16/19 9:44am

Sure. The AAC just signed a huge contract to have a significant number of their games on ESPN+ too.

TCuz

9/16/19 9:44am

Experts are also saying the Mountain West could end up with ESPN+

mannheimadler

9/16/19 12:48pm

Do you think we don't have better TV coverage? It's easier to watch BYU football than ever before.

sgriff

9/16/19 9:45am

As of now I won't be able to watch 2 football games on my TV this season

BYU Fan

9/16/19 9:49am

Why can't you watch it on your TV?

Tokolosh

9/16/19 9:52am

I've got to figure that out - I've never tried streaming anything before

BYU Fan

9/16/19 10:12am

Happy to help or offer advice on what is possible.

Tokolosh

9/16/19 10:13am

Since half the games are based on the opponent's TV contract, this has nothing to do with independence. Besides,

Byron McNertney

9/16/19 9:55am

Last year I would have thought it was a big deal.

antiyewt

9/16/19 12:36pm

Well, this shows our access is clearly better than the MAC.

kccougar

9/16/19 9:47am

Road games...

chilango

9/16/19 9:49am

Boise has exactly 0 on ABC so far and 0 on ESPN proper. They will play 4 games on CBSSN

YIsForBrigham

$4.99 cancel anytime.

whirl

9/16/19 9:42am

Can ESPN+ be DVDed

BYU71

9/16/19 9:44am

That’s what I don’t like about it. Probably can’t DVR it, doubt they’ll let you

rainorsnow

9/16/19 9:46am

Who uses DVDs anymore? 😉

cougaman

9/16/19 9:52am

*raises hand*

TNT

9/16/19 9:56am

I thought TNT was still limited to VHS?

Will BYUTV repeat the game. Might be hard to not find out how the game went,

BYU71

9/16/19 9:43am

No because it's not a home game

Indy Coug

9/16/19 9:43am

They often get away games that are on ESPN. So I'd say maybe

Schultz is back

9/16/19 10:38am

I'm sure BYU promises ESPN an ESPN+ game each season.

kccougar

9/16/19 9:45am

This game is at Toledo so not even part of the package that BYU has with ESPN.

cwilke1

9/16/19 9:54am

...and YouTubeTV doesn't allow ESPN+ access anymore. Time for HuluTV

Saxa

9/16/19 9:46am

ESPN+ is not ESPN3. It's completely separate, stand alone.

molodyets

9/16/19 9:48am

well.. that's not so bad then. I'm up for $5.. but I need to reset my brain for

Saxa

9/16/19 9:54am

This is such an easy solve. You likely can do a 7 day trial and if not it is only $5.00 to sign up.

Tokolosh

9/16/19 9:55am

It's $5 for a month. There's a decent chance the USF game could be on ESPN+ too and you could get both games for $5

Pete

9/16/19 10:00am

Are games on ESPN+ available to watch after it is over?

BGRTHNUMEGO

9/16/19 9:47am

It's $5 people...I'm sure we can all step up.

B Blue

9/16/19 9:48am

This^^^ And the more people that embrace this the sooner we get to a la carte with ESPN.

Tokolosh

9/16/19 9:51am

with inflation adjustments, costs less than watching in the stake center

9/16/19 1:11pm

Nope. Don’t like that.

LifelongAP

9/16/19 9:49am

Early east coast game. Could be tough for the team to be ready that early.

cougaman

9/16/19 9:50am

That’s the worst part. Western teams tend to struggle early in 12 noon ET games.

chilango

9/16/19 9:53am

We played Michigan in the morning. That was a fun one.

D.T. Survivor

9/16/19 11:40am

Another good example.

chilango

9/16/19 11:45am

Part of the problem with that game was we flew in so late too. We got there

BYUtka

9/16/19 11:51am

Got there late + did a fireside.

molodyets

9/16/19 11:56am

Yes, it’s really dumb to only arrive the night before with a 12 noon kickoff and

chilango

9/17/19 11:08am

This true? Very poor planning

puntersarepeople

9/17/19 12:13pm

I'm guessing ESPN knows they are going to get BYU fans to pay for this game; hence the reason to put it on ESPN+.

specsauce

9/16/19 10:21am

Hulu has live sports

RipCityCougar

9/16/19 10:43am

This has nothing to with your cable provider.

molodyets

9/16/19 11:10am

Brawndo has electrolytes.

cheezedawg

9/16/19 11:12am

This is fine with me, can you DVR/Watch games later on ESPN+?

JOPE

9/16/19 11:45am

Watch later? Yes. DVR? No.

RockyBalboa

9/16/19 11:51am

Just pay the $5, watch the game, then binge all of the 30 for 30’s.

I'll pay the five bucks. Seriously my kids can bring the nachos. They are all
