They should. 8am. They should also have some promotion where Legend’s across the street has jello shots and bloody marys ready to sell/giveaway to fans who show up that early. But that’s just my non-professional thoughts.

Just put extra bacon, green beans and okras in the bloody marys for much needed nutrition.

You’re right. I was assuming most people log in to the app via their provider.

Also true. I have DIRECTV and this little feud is quite aggravating.

Not so fast

You would think so but it doesn't work like that unfortunately

I had DirecTV until this week . That POS dish just came down as part of hurricane prep and is in the trash can at the street

Only problem is it's owned by Google, the hard left leaning POS company.

Comcast went thru this awhile back.

Isn’t it “ironic” in both cases, and historically, these “contracts” always expire just before football season. It’s a game, both parties know what the result will be.

There is no point to paying for Tailgating with this contract.

ESPN is not worried about our tailgating. They are worried about getting us on national TV. If they were worried about us, they wouldn't have put Texas-Michigan at 11 am.

Are they trying to make us quit being fans of college football?

UL played great against Kennesaw State. I had flashbacks of the Napier years of dominating defense and powerful running game. We certainly have momentum and a lot of anticipation for the Tulane game. Lots of inquiries from casual fans about tickets to the Tulane game. Riding this momentum and enthusiasm, Brian Maggard yesterday at 5:30 pm set out a text asking everyone to give $10 a month to the NIL collective. Then today at noon he announces that we have an 11 am kickoff for the Tulane game.

I remember another highly anticipated home game a few years ago got moved to an 11 am kickoff. The Boise State game. We put on a valiant tailgate attempt but it was not really tailgating. The game was very hot and they were carting people out of the stands that had heat related issues. I watched the second half from the breezeway near the concessions. I wonder what ESPN would do if we said no? Do we want to be on ESPNU that badly? The football fans that want to watch UL/Tulane can find it on ESPN+. How many casual fans will watch the game on ESPNU? So we give up a great home game against an in-state rival for what?

Huge Big 10 games are played weekly at this time.

No ____. They'd swear nobody on the national stage plays games at this time. Good Lord

It's not ideal. What are you gonna do about it? You can't cancel the ESPN contract. If we are truly fans we get out and deal with it.

Also, how does one stand up for themselves when the conference signed away the rights?

Texas-Michigan was a must watch

100 year tradition for them, and they are guaranteed to capture all eyeballs.

Suicide marketing for anyone else.

False: there was a similar dispute in past with fox and with nbc, the timing of those were around world.cup and tennis. They just figured it out sooner

We're talking about youtube.tv, couyon.

College football/conferences have exchanged long time fan traditions for the TV network $$. Money talks so we're playing at 11 a.m. on Saturday. No surprise, that's college football today and in the future. If our program rises back to 2021 levels, we'll be lucky to have three Saturday night games per season. Wasn't that many years ago we were excited to be on ESPN. Seems quaint now.

Last year DirecTV's main dispute was with Nexstar who owns 197 local tv stations around the country. Some NBC, fox , cbs etc. In Lafayette they own KLFY and they got cut off right around the beginning of football season too and it went on for quite a while. Yes an OTA antenna can get you around that for the most part but same annoyance
