No power, small generator, no wifi/cable. Phone working better and I do have a hotspot. Trying to figure out how I will watch the LSU game and some of the other games this weekend. This sucks.

If you have a chromecast or roku you should be able to use the hot spot and connect to it to a tablet or another phone and cast to the TV.

Or if you have a smart TV you should be able to connect it to the hot spot.

Where are you at, man?

I'd have other things on my mind if I were in your situation, to tell you the truth.

Any restaurants open in your area? Are the roads passable, or are they still underwater?

Another option is to get an HD antenna to catch ABC, FOX and NBC.

Bless your heart...hope you and your family are all okay.

Out here in Los Angeles, we've been through a few earthquakes that have knocked power out for awhile. Not fun. Hope your power comes back on, soon, and that you have enough food and all other necessary items. Will be praying for all of you out there.

Roads are passable. We’re working on cleanup on our house and helping with neighbors’ houses about 16 hours a day. I just got in from taking out the regular trash for about 12 houses because we heard there is pickup tomorrow. I’ll be due for a break to watch a game or two by the weekend.

I would rather be in the dark than wake up to Pio, no offense.

Aren't there usually threads on r/cfb that stream the game?

I second Lunatik- get an antenna if Walmart or Best Buy is open. You can get Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS all with a little antenna. Keep your head up, my man!

ETA: Here is what Porter is talking about

Reddit/CFB

Stores are closed so I’m SOL on the antenna. Will have to try the reddit idea. Is that bootleg streaming of the games?

ETA: Also, some services such as ESPN allow you to stream games if you can log in with your credentials from your cable or satellite provider.

I really feel for you. This is a little complicated but here is a youtube video that helped me watch a game before while I was on the road. I'm not very tech savy and I managed to follow his instructions and pull it off. I hope it helps or if not somebody helps you.

Throw yourself on the doorman at a stadium. tell them your plight and ask if they'll let you in.

Haha, I can afford tickets, but if I get on the road to Cali or anywhere else right now, Mrs. Mulkey Man would not welcome me back.
