How come? Isn't that usually how student discounts work? You use an .edu email instead to show you're a student? I've never done it but thought that was how it was done. 

That's how it was done with DirecTV, yes. Wouldn't put it past Google to see some third-party enrollment verification service come to light for this purpose, similar to how cell phone companies now confirm employment for employer discounts.

They're more sophisticated than that. I've worked at Higher Education institutions all my life and ALL my emails from every Higher Education institution I worked at didn't work.

So you're saying I'm going to have to break into a local college and enroll myself in their records to get this discount?

 

So be it. Desperate times calls for desperate measures.

If only YouTube TV guide wasn't terrible

Does it suck? I was thinking about getting it for football season this year to watch the regular channels. Sling has a pretty good guide but you pretty much have to get both the blue and orange to enjoy a good selection of channels and then still have to find a decent antenna to pick up locals. It would be nice if Sling would just carry the locals like youtube tv does but im sure they would charge even more than they already do to a growing price hike they have constantly.

Live Chat? Oof. I'd hate to be a mod for that scenario. Picture it now, you're watching YT Sunday Ticket on your 65" and chat is on. Your screen is afire with insane-speed text scrolling up. You see emjois, swastikas, the n-word, and then when something big in the game happens that insane-speed reaches lightspeed and you can't even read a word. Oof.

They had the same student discount plans for the DirectTV Sunday Ticket, genius. 

Jesus Christ it's like teaching infants.

How are you pirating? Please teach me the way as I may join your jolly group of pirates as well.

Google NFL ... and then what you do to an apple to pierce the skin. Dozens of streams for every game. Minimal ad intrusion (zero if you know how to block them ... and the way to get to the actual stream*), and the streams are actually decent. In HD, shows local coverage (as in the real commercials you'll see), and just a few buffer issues a game if any. If you're not a hardcore "Sunday is my holy day" NFL guy, and the Panthers don't come on where you live, it's pretty much perfect.

My student discount last year only asked for my college email, which they accepted once I confirmed it via that email, nad my brother did it for years via his college email. If there was more behind the scenes it wasn't obvious.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
