So what are good options for watching games if you are not into paying your local monopoly out the nose? Are there any al la cart options out there?

I usually do SlingTV, but this year I’m trying Hulu Sports. It has all of the ESPN channels, ABC, CBS, SEC network, Big10 network and a few more.

I'm using YouTube TV.

Crackstreams.
Just Google it on gameday. Works great.

We have sling, but it seems that it doesn't have ESPN. Is that because we don't have some sports package?
Honestly, I pay little attention to television stuff until football season. We may have some ESPN channels. Son has Hulu on the TV too. I think.

Vipbox tv is another, but make sure you have ad blocker enabled because it's a mess

Fiber 1GB net with no data caps + youtubeTV = everything you could ever want at $40-50 less per month than your traditional cable/internet package

How does it compare to sling in price? I usually do sling, but I haven't signed back up yet.
Related, we just moved to the middle of nowhere. I'm still working on getting internet that isn't laughable. I might not be streaming shite. My current connection struggles.

I think someone posted it last year and it worked well for me.

Hulu live TV streaming service offers a 7-day free trial. Then it's $54.99/mo., cancel anytime with no penalty. It has ALL networks that broadcast live CFB (and NFL) except the PAC12 network. It also has tons of other live TV and movies. You can activate the stuff you want and avoid all the clutter of shopping, infomercial and other crap channels. Intuitive, easy to use, no extra ads and I've had no streaming disruptions. I can watch it on my Roku TV, laptop and phone.

I think I might give the trial a whirl and see if I prefer it to sling. I think the wife already has the cheap $6 hulu anyway.

Teague, I've had Hulu live for a couple of years now and I've been pretty happy with it. It has all the sports channels I've wanted. It has worked well but I will add that lately, (and this may be a local thing, I don't know) I've seemed to have some issues with lagging and temporary stopping. It has always happened on occasion, but recently it seems to have gotten worse/more frequent. It shouldn't be my internet speed or my network, I pay for high enough speed to handle it and I have a mesh network, so it's either Hulu or Wow!, my internet provider. My gut tells me it's Hulu since it never seems to happen with Netflix and it seems to be worse with shows that would be high viewership. Maybe Hulu is having capacity issues?
I'm in the process of moving and will have Xfinity with all the bells and whistles for a promo price for the next 2 years, so I'm dropping Hulu for now. I just thought I'd pass along the recent small issues I've had with Hulu.

Does Hulu sports have NFL Red Zone?
I did the 7 day trial for Fubo last weekend.

I might try out Cracksports and Sportssurge. Football is the only thing I really care about watching. I do like to flip among concurrent games during commercials tho.

You got the wrong one for sports.
Sling has two options. Orange has the ESPN channels. Blue has more news networks.
That said, I haven't used Sling.

What is a good way for me to watch it tomorrow? It will be on at 0200 where I live and I’m too old to stay up that late.

I'm pretty sure any of those streaming services like YouTube TV and Hulu live you can record or save any upcoming broadcast and go back and watch it later.

YouTube TV is tremendous!
Also have Amazon Prime, Netflix, disney+ and Hulu (lite).
And, they are all available on any smart or mobile device you have, so that is a huge plus when not at home.
Still paying less than half of what I was paying direct TV. Never going back to cable.
Not live TV or a real football/sports option, but we have also loaded Peacock TV onto our smart TV and phones. It is pretty good as well for an additional show option... and it is 100% free
