Big East Schedule Is Out

SO I SAW THIS HEADLINE & MY TEENIE PEA BRAIN Nearly exploded, thinking it was the ENTIRE schedule:

Combine with Ken's Teenie Pea Brain? 

Horsies, like Huskies, are very tough. No, I DO NOT mean to chew. They DO the chewin'.

Chappie,
Combine with Ken's thread? I asked there about access to out of area SNY and looking for answers.

Flattery will get you everywhere.........................................

Yeah and he's really annoyed with the Big East!! Says he hasn't been beaten so badly since he challenged Diana to a game of HORSE!!

Fox streaming worked with some annoying quirks. To get the stream, you need TV access to Fox Sports ... but you cannot actually get the game via regular TV. Similar experience with either the streaming website or the FoxSports App.



Bugaboos:

1. Sometimes the stream would buffer a lot, so you would all tell me about a great play and I would see it up to a few minutes later

2. Sometimes, there wasn't a smooth stream and the video would paused for a few seconds ... every few seconds - but at least the audio was fine. When this happened, I had to shut the game (app or website) down and access the game again. Usually only needed once or twice per game. One game was about a million times! Once, the video hung altogether, but the same fix worked

3. Often, the game didn't show up in the Upcoming Events list until moments before the start time. If I kept my agita and heartrate in check, it always did show up in time for tipoff ... but not always before the intro

4. No Pregame. And as mentioned above, sometimes missed all or part of the intro

5. Halftime show ... about 50% of the time

6. Postgame ... probably intended to be never, but we sometimes got a treat for a few minutes until someone noticed that the game had ended. Once I got the whole thing

7. If you start during the game (which I almost always did - see above), you get the option of starting live or from the beginning. Sounds great, but beware! When the main stream ends, so does the replay, so you need to prioritize between catching the early minutes or the end game

8. Tools for skipping back or ahead were minimal, and buggy. Attempting to sneak in a replay of that last play during the commercial break often resulted in returning all the way to the beginning of the broadcast (game intro), and sometimes just kicked me out altogether for another restart of the stream asking for live. Jumping ahead never worked for me except all the way to live

9. It is a stream of a HD broadcast. No 4k, not enough flickers per second in refresh rate, so sometimes fast action like the ball in midair between Paige at one end and Christyn at the other get a bit fuzzy



Despite all of this, I will eagerly join this way again this year.

Hey; pipe down or they'll raise their fees to FLOHOOPS level and we'll all need 2nd mortgages!!

From last season:

Except that the SNY games are no longer on the replay site.  Sigh.  I get that the owners don't want to give them away for free, but they also provide us no method for getting those games.  Makes me wonder if UCONN could negotiate replays into their next TV contract somehow.

This is a big loss!
