AHAHAHAH this is incredible, thank you

Don't forget Big12: One true champion

This is awesome. Can't wait to watch "Bucky Rogers in the 25th Century".

I'm a huge SciFi fan.

Pretty sure my narrative remained the same throughout. Based on what I perceive we need out of our DEs, because of other personnel, we need more explosion out of the position. I think mihota will be a steady guy but he's not a guy that is going to worry teams from a pass rush perspective.

I honestly find it hard to believe that Tulsa scored on 0 of the possessions that mihota was in on considering they scored on roughly half of their possessions. Against UVA it's entirely possible, but how much did he even play again considering he registered no stats? Comparing the defensive situation from 2005 to this year's team is about as close as comparing whoever our qb will be to MV7.

can we please adopt that as the official ACC slogan?

SEC: It just means more.
B1G: Honoring Legends. Building Leaders.
PAC12: Conference of Champions
ACC: Performs Moderately

Trending down is great that's why you should be happy the ACC is going to have both a digital platform and cable platform. But any venture that went strictly digitial for live sporting events is a miss. Millielnials watch less sports than other groups, so while there should be a dedicated way for cord cutters to watch the vast vast majority of live sporting events watchers, product buyers and fans will still pay for cable.

It's trending down quickly. While the majority still use it, they are getting fewer new customers, and the younger customer base is moving away from it.

Why do they have it? Government supported infrastructure and subsidy's to artificially depress price. Streaming is beating it in quality, availability, and price without that help. Private industry always wins in economic battles.

Cable is over

I've never heard of something that 74 percent of US households have as "over".

While it's changing I wouldn't write it off yet.

Bingo. I may be traveling for work somewhere where it is not a featured game, but it is a featured game at my house, so it is blacked out at home, and hence on my watch ESPN3 app, even though I trying to watch in a hotel room in Nashville. Frustrating - and needs to go.

So ESPN president John Skipper basically told reporters ESPN and ACC will try and keep financial information as vague and hard to get as possible. Seems like a weird way to do this.

Laughed out loud when I got to the page where they reference winning the Garden & Gun "Best Southern College Town" award. I think we can claim that one for TKP, can't we?

PS Vue has ESPN as an option and has access to watchESPN FWIW.

From the immediate discussion here, it appears to me that no matter what evidence is produced you change the topic to fit a new narrative. This is my summary:
Kna: Mihota isn't explosive and would be a better DT.
French: film shows he performed very well at DE against UVA and Tulsa
Kna: but how many points did those teams score?
French: 0 on the series that Mihota played.
Kna: well those teams sucked anyway. He wouldn't play for Bama and won't produce sacks
French: Mihota is gap sound and will help in many respects, so the number of sacks alone shouldn't be used to judge his performance. some of our great defenses had DBs with more sacks than DEs.
kna: and we don't have DBs that good this year do we?

How does that honestly look to you?

Yup. I tried this for a bit with HD OTA antenna and Amazon Fire TV and it's ok. You'll still have to pay for a Hulu subscription (cheap tho) to watch most of your shows unless you still do that live, but some channels aren't supported on there. As for the WatchESPN app on Amazon Fire TV (and all others for that matter), it works pretty well but it's only a supplement. I meant that because you have to already pay for a cable/satellite subscription that includes ESPN in your package. The you have to log in to WatchESPN with this information. So it really is only meant to be an additional thing and not a replacement. The only way around that is to use someone else's cable info to log in if you don't want to pay for cable but still use this app, which has obvious reasons against it.

"Performs moderately" is probably about the most fitting #goacc description ever.

I'm pretty dang certain we're gonna get #GoACC with point one, we'll only get to watch the games not carried on espn, and I expect blackouts to continue. They're too damn stupid to realize that cable is over.

SlingTV. Buy the box, get basic subscription ($15 a month) add sports package ($30 a month) and if you've got to GoT, add HBO ($15 a month). Or, since you already have the xbox, I bet there's a subscription available for espn by now, HBO def is. As for local channels? Get a digital antenna for less than $60 at walmart.

I'm excited for the chance to watch more than a handful of Hokie Wrestling matches online.
