Just want to take a moment to say how much I thoroughly loved the Big Noon Kickoff on Fox. Ingram was getting away with murder as a homer on the gameday crew telecast in Madison, but everyone seemed to know he was just being his fun-loving self. I'll have to call it the Charles Barkley effect.
Once the game started, Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt were awesome. They are B1G homers these days but they were brutally honest and offered a ton of praise to ALABAMA and Milroe no matter the score. Gus Johnson asked Klatt if he had ever been to a SEC game and he said no. Well, there is nothing to compare to it and he talked endlessly about how different it is from any venture in college football. Talk about brutally honest. Most of all, regardless of the score, they just seemed to have fun with the telecast, which came through loud and clear. I give FOX an A+++++++++ for that game production, particularly, behind enemy lines. I wasn't expecting that.

Are you calling me a dumbass or are you just telling it like it is?

Yttv used to have a channel for SECN+ so you didn’t have to switch apps. Of course ESPN made them get rid of it so they could juice their app user numbers for investors.

They aren't B1G homers. Neither one of them attended, or played for, any B1G school.
They cover B1G football because that's what FOX contracts them to cover.

ONN 4K - $20 Best Buy and Android (3rd party apps)
ONN 4K - about $55 bucks and it's voice-activated.
Google last entree:
The Google TV Streamer provides access to over 700,000 movies and shows through popular streaming apps like YouTube TV, Netflix, Disney+, and ?Apple TV?, as well as live TV with over 800 free channels. One of the standout features is the AI-powered content recommendation system, which uses Google's Gemini technology to curate personalized watchlists and provide detailed summaries, reviews, and season-by-season breakdowns of content.
The Google TV Streamer features a faster processor, double the memory, and 32GB of storage. It supports 4K HDR with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.
The Google TV Streamer is available in two colors: Porcelain and Hazel, with the latter being exclusive to the U.S. Google Store. The device is intended to sit in front of the TV, rather than behind it, to improve connectivity with smart home devices. The Google TV Streamer supports Matter and includes a built-in Thread border router, which enhances the connectivity and response times of smart home devices like locks and motion sensors.
The redesigned voice remote features improved ergonomics with a textured back for better grip and an optimized button layout. It includes a customizable button that can be programmed to open a favorite app, switch inputs, or launch the Google Home panel. The remote also has a built-in "find my remote" feature, allowing users to locate it by voice command or by pressing a button on the back of the device.
The Google TV Streamer is positioned to rival high-end streaming devices such as the ?Apple TV? 4K. While the ?Apple TV? 4K offers similar features like 4K HDR and Dolby Vision support, the Google TV Streamer is priced more competitively at $99.99 compared to the ?Apple TV? 4K's starting price of $129.

Just telling you what Klatt said. He said he preferred the dotting of the I to being at an SEC game. Sounds like someone with an emotional predisposition toward B1G bias, hey?

Also, I highly recommend you set up the app BEFORE game day in case you have any issues. The ESPN app is unfortunately notorious for being finicky and sometimes it’ll be an a-hole about putting in your password.

Not true. That's not how casting from youtube or a website works. After I cast, I can turn the phone off and the video keeps playing.
Now, if I were to simply cast my phone's main screen, then yes, whatever is on the phones screen will show on the tv.
But if I cast from the app or site itself, this isn't the case.
I can shltpost to my heart's content and the game plays on.

Pull up the game on the ESPN app, choose ESPN+, play game, mirror it to Smart TV.
