but tu and UT are vs. Ohio State and Michigan respectively, according to The Sporting News. Ohio State and Michigan are 22 and 25, respectively but Liberty is 27 and likely a better team than either of the other two. I cannot comprehend somebody making the call to not cover the No. 1 team in what promises to be a very good ball game. I would nave not been surprised if we had not been covered yesterday as that game had little promise of being a good game.

I figured this game would be on regular TV. I understand that most Aggies will watch on line, just as I will, but that is not so easy for everyone including my 96 year old Mother. She does have an Ipad but with poor eyesight if she touches anything wrong opening up ESPN+ then she ends up in a blind lady alley. I just feel like we are being dissed in favor of perennial favorites TU and ut, and yes the networks also chose not to cover much higher ranked OU and Florida, both of whom have very challenging opponents.

The very best $11.99 per month from February to May for the fastpitch junkie in all of us.

Not if you're 96 with poor eyesight.

may I suggest using your TV screen. I will watch today's game on ESIPN+ from my Iphone but will mirror it to my Samsung TV. Works great and easy, even for an old fart like me to do.

I TOTALLY get this! My mom is 86 and is exactly the same! She loves softball and baseball but because of streaming she rarely gets to watch any more. She loved following the Astros and the Rangers too but has only gotten to see a couple of games this year.

A&M vs Liberty is not going to have much of a national appeal. The UT and sip opponents are going to draw a lot more in national interest.

This. There are so many games on, between live and on-demand.

I use ESPN plus. I have not taken the time to learn how to make the ESPN+ available streaming on a tv, and thus have not done it on my Mother's. I suspect many others are in the same boat, and many may still not have smart tv's, though we gave my Mother one. Either way, I view the selection of UT and tu to play on tv instead or the Ags, Okies, and Arkies is insulting to those teams. We will see how this plays out on future games, but see UT get programming while our game was delayed was certainly not encouraging for the future.

I hope her eyesight is much better than my Mother's. She had pretty good eyesight at 86 but dry macular degeneration has made her effectively blind in one eye and significantly reduced vision in the second, even with special glasses. Therefore she really cannot even see and read the areas of the ipad. She can do things in order, sometimes putting tape in the right areas to push. Similarly, she can use a tv remote in limited areas but it is much easier for her to use the tv set than the ipad. I wish Apple had a different attitude about allowing remote operation of the ipad. I could easily help her remotely on a windows device. One major reason I have no use for anything apple.

I think the opponents in these games is a big part of why they were chosen and tu and UT are national seeds, so it's not a reach for them to be chosen either.

Do you have a smart tv? If so, you can download the espn app and access espn+ from there.

ESPN + for basketball through end of softball/baseball season.

My wife is wanting to keep it to watch volleyball this fall, since our daughter is starting to get into the game.

Haven't you youngsters figure out by now that tu is always going to be the choice whether they are #1 are #0. That's the way it is and always going to be!
