Boys, we might have found us a coach.

Why would aggy use ugly girls for this?

Cut the cord, dude. I can’t tell you how much I’ve saved, thousands over the past few years. First thing you do is Amazon or Best Buy a set of ClearChannel 4 indoor-outdoor antennae. Now you’re set with HD over-the-air network HDTV. Perfect 1080 picture and it’s free. Depending on whether you live urban or rural, the antennae will get you at least 8 channels if you’re rural. I’m in west Texas, but you’ll get a lot more free channels if you’re big city. Even more channels if you use outdoor mount (which I don’t). Cost for the ClearChannel 4 is around $125, and the ClearChannel 2 is about $80. The 2 might be fine if you’re big city. ClearChannel 4 gets me HD NBC and CBS, but ABC is UHF and Fox is out of San Angelo, which is too far away. So I don’t get live ABC or Fox. I would probably get HD ABC if I mounted the antennae outdoors and ran 100’ of coax through my attic down through my wall, but nah. I’m good. I use the antenna indoors under a shelf beneath my TV set. Good enough for me. I run a single 4’ coax from antennae to TV coax in, all done. The antennae does not require electricity either. Works well indoors. Next, depending how new your TV set is, the new sets give you a bunch of free channels. My new Samsung provides around 125 channels. While those channels are pretty much worthless, I do watch some of them - kind of like pay TV, huh? Except these are free gratis, lol. My last trick does cost me around $13/ month. I pay for YouTube Premium. Not YouTube TV, YouTube Premium. That opens up “delayed” news (although sometimes it’s live feed news). In other words, I have to wait a couple of hours or maybe overnight to watch my girl, Maddow. So, Texas football. I get some of it live and free over my antennae. But mostly now I time-shift the games. There’s a guy on YouTube who cuts out the commercials and I watch the game off his channel on Sunday. For a big game that plays in the early time slot, sometimes he’ll post the game late Saturday night. There’s also live streaming as others have mentioned. How do you find those live streams? Easy. You’re there. Come onto Surly, find the game thread, and read it, lol. I also use the ESPN app sometimes and follow their “play-by-play” function. There’s also this amazing thing called radio, lol. Then I watch the YouTube feed later if we win. I typically only watch the wins. I have become a fair weather fan, lol. Anyhow, stop getting ripped off by cable, bundles, sling, and all the rest. Even YouTube Premium isn’t a must. I like it because it works on my cellphone when I’m reading the internet, like Surly (except when I get banned, lol), and I want Premium playing a podcast or movie in the background. Premium now forms the backbone of my TV watching , along with my antennae. There’s also free TV apps all over the place. Vudu has a lot of free movies, for example. Also, I never buy DVDs anymore. If I want to own a movie, I buy the movie over YouTube. Now I have access to that UHD movie anywhere in the world over my cellphone or my YouTube Premium account. I don’t even use a DVD player anymore. Too much storage and the damn formats go stale. I cut the cord 4 years ago. Zero regrets.

Great move, great conference, allows Texas to better recruit Texas, get back on top, and stay on top. That is, if we can find a championship coach. Hopefully, Sark.

I normally treat canines kindly, but is it too much to ask for Texas to kick the [bull] dog out of MSU tonight?

Any letup in the weather yet?

Thank god.

Hopefully, Nixon gets us out and our bats come alive.

6 outs left.

Get in #4

We’ve already got it tough, coming out of the hard bracket. Therefore, let’s do it hard. MSU tonight so we can take them 2 straight after kick out UVA.

I’m stressed and we had a 4 run cushion. I’m getting a Rusty Nail.

Tennessee gone

Let’s get out of this game so we can begin stressing over the next one.

Let’s open up the game.

Hilarious. Bye-bye Arkansas, lol. But there’s the TV. Streaming, computers, cellphone. Arkansas and TT can watch Texas roll, lol.

OMG, Jones is an animal OLB, lol! 6’5”, 245, LB in high school? That’s big boy right there, lol. There must be some speed or he wouldn’t play LB. Jones is the kind of 3* worth a scholarship to see what happens.

All right, awesome soul crusher last night, but let’s win tonight, then it’s on to Omaha and let’s win there.

So, we get South Alabama, right?

Double digits x 3 games. Good time for the bats to produce.

Fairfield started Cafaro today, and he only lasted 2 innings before giving way to four others. One of those 4 was Sansone, who is one of Fairfield’s top pitchers, leading them in Ks. Their top ERA guy is Grabek and Noviello leads in wins. Noviello went 5 innings on Saturday and Grabek went 1 inning. McLoughlin started and went 6 innings on Friday with Sansone closing with 2 innings. Noviello looks unlikely. I’m guessing Grabek gets the start tonight and he might have some arm left. Sansone and Cafaro looks like early relief, which we hope they need.

Oh good, I feel much better now. I was afraid they’d go with Earl Campbell.

TCU gone.

TCU is now gone. Who does Fairfield have left?
