  1. So I've been working through Clone Wars and Rebels and finished last night.  I'll go ahead and insert the obligatory gif below:
    giphy.gif
    Filoni needs the "Feige Role" within LucasFilm. Both are some of the best Star Wars content of the past 41 years and, while differing in tone, great in their own way.  The last four episodes of Clone Wars, if cut into a 2hr film, would immediately vault into my top three (right after ESB and ANH).
    I have a bit of sadness now; I didn't want them to end.  Onto S2 The Mandalorian and then wait for Bad Batch to get my SW fix.
    Those last four episodes as a movie would be my #1. So good.
  2. We have a Hulu/Disney account via my SIL.  She pays $12.99 a month.  Am I not able to just add ESPN+ w/o upping the monthly fee?
    When looking online, I see that all three should fall under the $12.99 subscription; however, when trying to complete the process myself, I'm prompted to sign up for a Hulu Live acct before being able to get ESPN+.  This was $60 bucks or so.
    I think you'll have to have your sister upgrade to the bundle and then venmo her the cash. You or she have to log into your Hulu account with the email address that started the account.

    Bundle Q&A
  3. Happens every time in ever sport, but still annoys the fuck out of me.   Hey reporters, don't wait till the guy is fired to give people the real story.   Not like we didn't all know Tom was an ass hole. 
    If they did, the reporters would mysterioulsy not get invited to press conferences or have their gameday credentials misplaced. Bellmont flexes...or at least used to.


  4. ...Cincy is fine with me...


    If this ever comes to pass (you know, because all the ideas in this thread are totally plausible), DO NOT EAT THE CHILI!!! It's ain't chili! It fucking spaghetti with various shit on top of it!!!! That was a HUGE culture shock when I visited campus right after leaving UT. And those guys were so excited to take me to the famous "chili" place because I was from Texas...and we love chili. They were as clueless as I was.

  5. $70 for 200 mbps, $10 for unlimited. 
     
    I have no idea how I went over their 1.2TB data limit, but I did it in about 16 days. 
    Ha! I have 6 kids at home, wife and me working from home, four teenagers with phones, and two other kids streaming all the time, three with school from home zoom classes most of the day. We are 100% streaming, 3 TVs, and an XBox. We go over the cap every month, but it's always close. Our max was 1461 month...last month...and I told the fam to go for broke and put all devices on the wifi to get to a baseline to see if we needed unlimited or could manage staying under. New Google Nest router lets me see the culprits and if everyone gets cell phones off wifi, and one kid settles down with Nintendo Switch streaming, we are under.

    All that is to say...wtf are you doing man?!? Ha.

    As mentioned above, the NVIDIA Sheild streaming TV in the main room is the biggest stream suck...489 GB. Second place was Google Chromecast (new one) on second TV at 142 GB. Nintendo Switch (used to stream YouTube) 126 GB. XBox 84 GB...several games downloaded for Chirstmas, XBox normal usage is very little data. Everything else way less that have that. It's all about the streaming video.

    Comcast is smart...as folks figure that out, the price difference between unlimited and one of their triple play crap plans smaller.

    Also, it would be great if the apps or the devices would allow for data management. The closest I've found is YouTube letting you drop the resolution for each video...but you have to change every time. I'd love to be able to tell the whole network of streamers to stay at 720. Kids wouldn't even notice.
  6. Is [mention=302]rage-a-holic[/mention] the man to talk about internet/cable? XFinity wants $80 for 200 mbp, uncapped. 
    How are you getting XFinity uncapped? I thought their recent announcement rolled out 1.2 GB cap across the country? $30 extra bucks plus you have to use their modem to get unlimited. You getting 200 for $50 plus $30?!

    I just reupped with Comcast/Xfinity. There are the only option here. $80.95 for 200 Mbps capped at 1.2 TB. $10 for every 50 GB over. I was on $100 for 100 GB and phone line. They no longer offer phone/Internet bundles. I finally convinced the wife to let me kill the "hard line." This is a promo rate for two years. It's $80.95 for 100 after 2 years, or $95.95 for 200 after 2 years (the prices wont stay the same that far out).
  7. Smartless is funny. Will Arnett and Jason Bateman giving each other shit with guests.

    Neil deGrasse Tyson was a guest. The host were throwing out zingers and subtle jokes while Neil did his science thing. And it always took Neil an awkward 15 seconds to get the joke and belatedly laugh.

  8. My hook up that let me use their direct tv login (to stream whatever I wanted through Roku) cut the cord together.
    halp. 
    I really only need sports (which includes tbs and tnt come March madness and MLB playoffs time).
    what's the best/cheapest streaming option?
    YouTube seems to be the most solid but cons are $65 and no LHN.
    I’m eyeing the sling orange with sports extra add on, but only one stream blows.
    (unless someone has a direct tv or some other provider login they want to pass my way for a reasonable price)

  9. 247Sports: Ranking college football's richest, poorest programs (2018 data).

    https://247sports.com/LongFormArticle/College-football-richest-poorest-programs-Alabama-Crimson-Tide-Texas-Longhorns-Ohio-State-Buckeyes-157982941/

    Power Five NCAA conferences generated more than $2.9 billion in combined revenue for the 2019 fiscal year. The Big Ten Conference reported more than $780 million in revenue, the most of any conference, with the SEC second at just shy of $721 million.

    The Pac-12 was third on the list at $530.4 million, followed by the ACC ($455.4 million) and then the Big 12 ($439 million). The Pac-12's reported revenue does not take into account the equity value of the Pac-12 Networks, per the report.

  10. Comcast is awful. Had to change my Internet plan, and dealing with their app/website/chatbot/humans was comical. Avoid if you can.

    Me: Why does this email say one thing and this other email say another. And why does the app says this other thing and the web page say something else all together?

    Them: Let me put you on hold and I'll find out.

    ...hold music...

    1.5 hours later...System hangs up on me.

  11. Houston boy on the East Coast. I watch WAY less of my Astros since they moved west from the central.

    We risk the same if we start playing more games out west. The best PAC properties are two times zones from Austin and three from the populated EST.

    Lots of arguments for a Texas versus USC game being put on TV earlier and we'd never be subject to that late game. But there's no guarantee of that.

    And just like we used to say there's no way in holy hell that our game would be moved away from Thanksgiving Day, we'd most certainly be subject on occasion to that crap ass 8 or 9 a.m. PST college football game that's being discussed. Better than the late late show I guess.

    Long-standing notion is that sports reporters won't stay up and watch the West Coast games. That's not going to change just because big 12 teams play a few more games out there.

    Every growing/future property in CFB is east of Austin notwithstanding unrelated issues with BYU and Boise. Everything else is just poaching existing brands.
