Theres no perfect solution in my experience, unfortunately. I’ve paid for streaming services, bummed passwords off of family, watched pirated streams, etc. I’ve also used every email address I have to get free trials too. We lucked out a year or two ago and got on a YouTube Tv family plan with extended family. It’s been really nice for games. It has a great dvr set up and even has an option to hide scores on their app so there’s no spoiled games when I start watching hours after a game is over.

The Slingtv day pass would be what I’d recommend if you’re on a budget. Though I’m not sure if it has dvr capabilities so you may have to catch games live?

I have family who yearly pay for sling (or maybe fubo) for just football season, then they suspend the account. So they only pay for three or four months.

You could go in with friends / family on a plan and then share the password. YouTubeTv lets you share with multiple people if you’re set up in a Google family account (I can’t remember all the details), but that’s how we have it set up with the extended family we do it with.

Good luck!

It was announced a few months ago that TNT will televise “nearly 20” BIG12 games this season. I assume Utah will be on at least one of these “nearly 20” games.

The Wyoming game will be on the CBS Sports channel. The UCLA game is on big Fox.

Hula + live carries all the above channels along with ESPN+.

Unless Hulu has changed their policy, you still have to watch the commercials when you DVR so there’s no benefit to starting to watch after the game has started. Other than being able to watch at a time more convenient for you.,,

BJ we have a better example of what his NFL talent likely could have been. Cam is an incomplete due to injury. So, while I agree that Cam likely wouldn’t have had the pro career as Mitchell did – I do think it’s only fair to give Cam’s NFL potential an asterisks because frankly, none of us know what he could have done had he not been injured in that Penn State Rose Bowl game (assuming he doesn’t come back for 2023 if he enters the NFL Draft).

I agree with Rick if you’re talking NFL quality talent. I go back to the Brownie Van Galder days. Mitchell may not be elite in today’s standards.He was a pure pocket passer which the NFL and college rarely see anymore. I agree with Beach if you’re talking Utah football. Rising and BJ were elite leaders and QBs on the college level. Lots of Heisman trophy winners QBs that didn’t make it in the NFL were elite college QBs.

You’re contradicting your own point.

What you said earlier:

Utes since the mid-1970s and the only actual elite QBs we have had are Scott Mitchell and Alex Smith.

Mitchell was a fourth-round draft pick in 1989 (the 93rd pick overall) – literally where you suggest Cam was being projected. But he wasn’t a first-round draft pick, so, by your definition: not elite.

Cam is elite by Utah standards. Not only is he toward the top in multiple offensive stats at Utah, despite playing fewer games than many of the players ranked around him (Cam only had 30 games played ever at Utah, starter or otherwise, while someone like Travis Wilson had 46 games – more than a season’s worth of games – and BJ (44) and Scott Mitchell (35) – he and Smith are the only two modern-day quarterbacks who have won multiple conference championships at Utah.

In the context of what Utah typically puts up at quarterback, I think both BJ and Rising are elite. Whittingham is 46-13 (.778) when either BJ or Rising started (a couple of those games, like OSU in 2007 – and Penn State in 2023 were games either were injured in and didn’t play for a good chunk of the game but I’ll leave ’em in the 13 losses) and 122-73 (.625) with someone other than those two playing. With Brian Johnson and Cam Rising, Whitt has three conference titles, three NY6 bowl berths, two top-ten finishes (2008, 2022) – and a top-twelve finish (2021). Outside those two? Zero conference titles, three losing seasons and the highest AP finish of 16.

I think both deserve to be considered elite – if at least by Utah standards.

@Charlie: You can DVR on Hula + live. In fact, you can pre-select your favorite sports teams and it will DVR automatically all your team’s games, as long it was originally televised on Hulu.

My peeps end up at my place to watch a lot of games since they can only watch Seattle on a Sunday using Dish if they are playing Arizona. Kinda sucks since not only do I have to entertain, I have to entertain for an event I have no interest in. NFL blackouts rules are terrible. Not as bad as MLB but still terrible.

Thanks Data. A few days ago, I did a Google Maps recon of the area and I was able to find two theoretical free places to park within walking walking distance of the stadium. One was the parking lot in the Little Leagues Field, which is a 16 minute walk to the stadium. The other was the Campus Express Shuttle parking lot, which is an eight minute walk to the stadium. What I’ll probably do when I get there on Friday is head to both those places and ask around to see what the real deal is.
