Used to be just Sling carried it.

Looks like it's part of some special package. Unless I can figure out how to get a free trial (I've probably used all of my options haha) I won't be tuning in.

Oh well. Things tend to not go well in Austin especially recently so hopefully ISU bucks the trend tonight.

Looks like the days of free trial weeks are over. Gonna be $31 to be able watch it. I’ll be so happy when these ******* are gone.

I had this game as a "blowout" loss given the circumstances. I really hope the boys are irritated with Saturday's loss and come out with tenacity. Ward really needs to play smart in this one as he's the guy we need guarding Disu.

Contain Disu, let Hunter be Hunter, and hope the bad Abmas shows up. Our first half rebounding needs to be world's better than it was Saturday as we can't dig the hole we did Saturday.

Look like I'll have to go the illegal stream route to watch this game. Can't wait for Texas and the ******** LHN network to be gone.

I’m going to chalk last Saturday up to Baylor and that zone. It’s unique and has no bearing on tonight’s game. Need to play our game and get Lipsey some success early. Guessing the weird hairline guy (can’t remember his name) will be on Gilbert, so we need to expect scoring from elsewhere. I don’t see Gilbert being able to consistently get around him.

Just to confirm, there is no way to find this through ESPN+?

Correct. Looks like it’s only available in Iowa with Sling or Directv, both with add on packages. Neither have free trials on base packages, so the cheapest you’ll be able to watch is $31 through Sling.

It would be available through the ESPN app if you have a select few cable providers, mostly from the state of Texas. Or Verizon Fios or Google Fiber. You cannot buy standalone.

I'm oddly calm about this game. Happy to listen to John & Eric. I don't expect a win, but think it'll be close enough that there's a chance. Every team in the league has had a losing streak, this might be it for the Cyclones.

Yep, I stopped Sling when they stopped having ESPNU etc.

I'll just track the score.

I think we'll see a February Swoon here over the next twoish weeks for ISU.

I think they have the ability to play through it to not let it slide as much as last year but it will require some breaks too.

I won't pay anything that benefits those tools and I don't enjoy listening on the radio as much as I used to (no slight to John and Eric, as they are great). I might clean the bathroom while listening, but it depends on how my dog is doing (just had a bladder stone removed and she comes home this morning).

I just looked to see what happened to Chris Beard. I saw that Ole Miss hired Chris Beard less than a year after he got arrested for choking his girlfriend. Ole Miss still names themselves after the people that fought against the USA and they hired an alcoholic woman abuser to coach their basketball program. Stay classy, Mississippi.
They probably see spousal abuse as a positive.

Dish has the Long Horn network so if you know anyone or a bar that has Dish that's a possibility. Looking forward to another interesting game.

Please, fellow Cardinal and Gold fans. Horns Down is an offensive sign to Texas fans that rivals even the use of extreme profanity or verbal abuse. We should be kind and cordial to our fellow Big 12 brother and show them class and sportsmanship and........

........ah, **** it!

It would be a shame if that got repeated.
