I definitely don't intend to pay the big bucks for Hulu Plus or Youtube TV to be able to watch this game. But I do have a solution: I will use the Barstool app on my laptop, and slave my laptop onto my flat screen. Might vary a little from TV to TV, but I can do it very easily on my setup with an audio cable from the laptop audio out to the tv audio in. For the video, I just use a VGA cable between the two. Some people might be able to use a HDMI cable. Cables are cheap. I use this system when I want to watch music videos, concerts, movies, etc off of YouTube. All for free.

Good work. Dumb that you have to do it, but that is life with the awesome and innovative Barstool Bowl, which has the funniest and best announcers. Thoughtful, full of incite, tremendous, brilliant announcers.

If you have even the very basic cable package, you'll have The CW.
BTW, I have the very bottom of the barrel basic cable package here in OKC, it now costs just over $100 a month. What is it in your areas? Just curious.
I have Cox Cable.

Some people outright choose to be miserable or make things more complicated than they need to be.

You're killing LawPoke's narrative.
Come on...people shouldn't be forced to either stream or learn how to simply plug in a $10 digital antenna to the back of their TV. If it isn't on ESPN or doesn't otherwise satisfy LawPoke, it doesn't count.
The commentary was dumb, but being on the CW makes it a lot better for me. Those with the CW can watch it, and those without can easily watch it online.LawPoke said:OrediggerPoke said:You're killing LawPoke's narrative.

I'm sure the 130,000 people that tune in through the CW will enjoy the amazing commentary and game.

I don't have cable. Majority of the year, I have digital antenna ($50 at walmart). That gets ABC, NBC, cbs, fox, cw, and 20+ other channels I don't watch for free. Usually alternate other streaming options throughout the year (paramount plus, discovery, etc.). Hulu for the POKES sept-nov. Sling in Dec for bowl season and cheaper than hulu.

I wish they would get a serious, or semi-serious play-by-play guy and then they can do their nonsense announcing for color. That would make it better and give balance to what they are trying to do.
