I know it. I now have to subscribe to sling this month because I don't have EspnU.

Not sure we would need Herb for S Carolina. They are really bad. I'd sit him.

I've had meniscectomy recently. It takes a month just to get comfortable and running. He won't be 100 percent until after season. I'm 4 months in and i have pain in my knee.

We'll probably be favored by 10 or more in each game of that 4 game stretch vs SC, Georgia, TAMU, and Vandy. Even if they don't sit him for any whole games maybe he at least won't have to play a ton of minutes a game like he has been.
Would be nice to get him a lot of rest during that period imo.

I've never used the service myself, but I believe vidgo has ESPN U, and is $10 for the first two months.
I assume if it's like most streaming services, you could cancel before having to pay full price for the third month?

Thanks, that's cheaper than Sling I will check it out.I think Sling is 30 a month.

One caveat, just perusing around their site it looks like they don't have a DVR, but they mention TV Everywhere, so I guess you could use the credentials to log into the ESPN app and watch the games there too.

Was reading about Auburn's final 4 team, and for some reason I remembered them as only losing 4 or 5 games, but I was wrong, they lost 10 games. They started 2 and 4 in SEC play that year. They really got hot at the end of the season though, won 12 in a row before losing to Virginia in the final four.

Just rewatched the 1st half and Quinerly was BAD. On offense and defense. Missing reads on offense and Lost his guy on defense a couple times for 3s. His teammates and the coaches were visibly frustrated with him at times.
Almost all of us said before the season, said that JQ would be the biggest x factor for our success.
That hasn't proven to be as drastic as predicted since Herb has done a much better job running the offense than most thought.
However, our top level offensive performance demands JQ playing 20-25 quality minutes.
And, for him, quality mainly comes down to one thing: driving under control to pass or finish instead of leaving his feet too soon and turning it over or getting his shot blocked easily.
When he hasn't played well, we've still had our moments but are much easier to defend for 40 minutes.

Having back issues at his age can't be good as he gets to middle aged and older.

The only reason I picked Sling over them is because Sling carries the pac 12 networks and youtube doesn't, I like the late night pac 12 games.
I usually only keep it for football and basketball season. I had already canceled it this year because I didnt think we had any more games on EspnU. I get the regular ESPN's and SEC network in my regular cable package.
How much do you pay a month for YoutubeTV?
