Adding AJ Carter to this secondary could be really legit. I’m excited to see where the defense is by the end of the year

I expect the same strategy here. Constant rotation of players.

UNLV was a wake up call. Do i expect a win AT Norman? Absolutely not. However, it’s an important game against the best athletes we will face all season.

Fritz and staff should take advantage of that.

Perhaps we were overprepared and overconfident against UNLV. Can’t play that against OU.

OU favored at 29.5. They will more than cover that.

Oklahoma will be wearing throwback unis honoring the Bud Wilkinson era for the UH game.

What are we wearing? All white? Or white tops/bottoms with candy apple red helmets?

Does anybody know how to get this game on TV? I went to my directtv guide and it says the channel not available. Apparently DirectTv is in negotiation with SEC Network. They did this with CBS a couple years ago and didnt have the channel for months

I have Xfinity/Comcast and the SEC Network is on channel 715. Maybe a sports bar, but I would call ahead because the sports bar may have Direct TV also. You could go old school and listen to the game on the radio. Kevin, Ted and Jeremy do a great job calling the game.

As I said over on the Satellite.

Everybody needs two things:

  1. old fashioned corded cable with the biggest sports package possible, AND

  2. ESPN+ on a system of hard wired non-WI-FI Internet via Ethernet cable.

Only by having both of those can you be certain to NEVER miss the game of your choice!

What Law said.

We have Xfinity and never miss anything.

Easily switch back and forth, can record anything.

Their Internet also is great.

The problem with Xfinity is the cost. Its expensive. I call them every six months or so to see if they have any promotions that can lower my cost.

As I said, everyone needs BOTH corded cable AND ESPN+ on a hard wired internet. With BOTH…you’ll never miss the game of your choice!

Not sure if SEC network games can be seen on ESPN+. But with hard corded Xfinity cable TV, you’ll be able to catch the game.

ESPN owns the SEC Network. I did a quick check on the ESPN+ schedule and they are not streaming the game on Saturday; only on the SEC Network.

I have the direct tv stream that is through the internet. It also the only provider that carries the local sports station the Astros play on. The mouse is getting greedy. Disney been losing alot of money on Disney+ and there movies, so guess they are trying to scrounge money out of tv providers.

I am not hopeful, and I jinxed us last week saying we would run away from UNLV.
