Eh, I have Direct TV and the local ABC network still works. I'm guessing it's just the network owned affiliates that are gone. Of course, that does nothing for the ESPN networks. But Youtube TV and Hulu w Live TV both offer short free trials.

The local channels still work, but I can't sign up for the hulu free trial, as I already did.  Might check out youtube.

I am tempted to cancel all these streaming services, directv etc, and just listen to the games on the radio.  I could probably retire early if I did.

I've been pretty happy with YouTube TV the last 2 years.  You're basically paying a cable bill to YouTube instead of DirecTV or a cable provider, but its been good for me.  I think its around 80 bucks a month now?  It was like 65 when I started.  I'm the slowly boiling frog.

Might check it out if this continues.  

I talked to my wife, and she said, lets just go to the Wake Virginia game.   Tickets and parking are $45 total.  Might just do that.

I could probably save over a 100 bucks if I dropped DirecTv. My problem is Starlink is up and down speed wise. though it is getting better, and the only other option is 10meg DSL where I live. Supposedly the county is building out a fiber network, but haven't heard of any progress since it was announced over a year ago.

If you do that, hopefully you guys get a win and enjoy the game.

Michigan's defense gave up a big play on 3rd down

[jayboogieman]

Michigan just keeps giving up 3rd downs

[LinvilleGorge]

Michigan D plays really well on 1st and 2nd down then just face plants on 3rd.

[jayboogieman]

I think the refs bailed out Michigan on that 3rd down TD. Then Texas plays it safe and goes for the FG, which they miss.

[LinvilleGorge]

Oof. 3rdband 11 TD called back for holding.

Yeah, that looked more like a flop than a hold.

1% chance they call a hold like that on Michigan, they get away with it all game long.

Michigan's QB isn't that good
