Unless something changes.

That sucks! I might not see it then.

Sadly, that’s what happens if you hardly ever win. You get relegated to
ESPN+. Think I will pay $5.99 and get it. I have been waiting too long. First, Pirate baseball got halted early, and a now delayed start to our football season. I just have to do it.

It's part of the new AAC contract with ESPN. They are trying to drive up revenue on their pay per view site. Totally sucks. I just hate to give ESPN any money.

Oh yea, that makes sense. Well I guess they will be getting my money.

So, while not regulated to some internal memo or anything, I found out that unless Cooper changes CV19 protocols for football games ECU will only allow "staff" photography and the word I also get is that media members will be 1 per entity in the press box.

You'll need ESPN+ if you want to watch ECU baseball and most basketball. Basically all the content ECU was putting out for free. I think it's a decent trade off to get all of the conference baseball and basketball games on one network. This also includes a lot of non-con away games, like Campbell baseball or ODU football last year.

Excellent points! I forgot about baseball. We have been getting some nice commits lately.

Good news. Sounds like we have a noon kickoff next week ESPNU if you haven’t heard.

Man, I will be ecstatic if we can do this.

Now that’s an understatement. I can’t remember being so excited for a game where we were such huge underdogs.

Back under Logan, Holtz, and Ruff, I knew we could compete with anyone and always had a chance (except Navy under Ruff). I think Houston will get us back to that, but yes, I’m anxiously nervous about this one.
