Howdy, I know I am an OLD. However, been working on/with personal computers since first Apple and IBM PC jr, yeah, I go that far back.

Now for my RANT! I have NEVER, EVER, NEVER seen any meme driven site as POORLY, CHILDISHLY done as Flo Sports. Having used Flo in the past to see Aggie games, I knew I needed to get on there early to find our game and not wait until 5 minutes prior to start. After 30 minutes of going to every setting, menu and screen finally found the Ag's, what a disaster. One new thing, to me, is you could mark us as a Favorite and then all the A & M games came up on the Home Screen.

Truly what a JOKE their site is, DAMN! Do not wait till near game time to find us, you won't get there until the 5th inning!

Edit to add: Their SEARCH function is so funky that all you can type in is Texas, and then you get Texas Western and some other school. Figure tu is so arrogant that they would pay any and all so that any search with Texas would bring up the worthless horns!

I have zero problems. Everything just comes up on the app.

Yeah the app is the key. Will there be commentators for the game? The other games that I have seen on there looks like someone just set up a camera behind home plate.

They will have announcers for the games being played in Arlington this weekend.
Arizona State is about to play Miss St right now on FloSports. Announcers are doing their thing, Ty Harrington (for Tx. State coach) is one of them.


edit: they do have a ton of smaller school games, so maybe some of those don't have announcers. But the video feed quality is actually pretty good for the games in Arlington. I watched a few games earlier this month as well.

I go to the Flo Sports app on my Apple TV. On the left it says sports. I click on baseball and Arizona Stare vs Mississippi state comes up. Click on that and there is the game. Took about five seconds.

Ty is calling the game? Wow ... that's a blast from the past. I was the baseball SID at SWT when he first hired there.

Hey, no problem. I enjoy throwing my money as FloSports! At least it was only for a month.

I wonder how they do that on Youtube without getting shut down. I could see one of those squirrely website links doing it, but you'd think Youtube would be tougher to do.

Get Flo College for $19.99 per month. That's still too much money, but there's no reason to pay $10 more than that.

EDIT - And as soon as you've paid for your month, you can cancel. It will default to auto-renew.

Interesting. Good to know for future reference. Will try that option next year when we go through this again early in the season.

They've done this the last couple of years now, same with the Houston tournament on YouTube.

Maybe trying to grow the game? Maybe YouTube pays them for ads?

Thanks for the heads up! We'll be at the game tonight but tomorrow will be nice to not have to worry about signing up.

I bet they got enough free subs that cancelled for just one weekend they decided to try the YouTube ad supported version.

Nice try, but I'm not paying for it. I'm cheap like that.

If someone ends up seeing the game on YouTube later, could you please post a link? I'm going to pretty much be out of pocket for the most part tonight, but will be able to look-in here and there.

Not sure what everyone is complaining about. Paid $20 to watch 3 games. Streaming quality is great. Broadcasters are a bit clueless but for $20 its worth it.

I just used a different email to login this time and it only cost me $20. I will cancel it on Monday.

But it's not great. I will say the video image is much better this time than it was a few years ago.
