You're thinking of ESPN+ which is only streaming, and carries multiple games.  ESPN-U is a single linear channel, like ESPN, ESPN-2, NBC, etc.

I have the ESPN app on my ROKU it used to show a plus Section but now I don't remember seeing it as separate.

I’ll take the Saturday national broadcast exposure over a 6p kick with less than 20k in the building any day.

ESPN U has like a Hundred channels are they not all national regardless of time? Or is this one guaranteed to be carried nationally on cable TV outlets?

My point is complaining about an early start time is silly. Big following or not is irrelevant. If people want to show up, they will. You want a program in a good conference with nationally televised games but don't want the scheduling that comes with it. If tailgating is that important to you, go to bed early and wake up even earlier. The weather forecast shows a beautiful day with a high in the mid 80s. There's plenty to look forward to with an early start time.

I feel some would complain about being gifted a $100 bill if it were wrinkled.

And then there is the reality that the gameday atmosphere is shot in the foot, and the attendance will be incredibly light. 

I don't see it as a gift at all.

Not an uncommon start time for nationally televised games... TX/OU is at 11 am almost every year and none of them complain that it's too early. USC/Colorado was at 10 am local time this past Saturday. Come on, now.

Whats your point they have huge followings, and people will camp out. It's not our crowd whether it should be or not.

Mimosas and breakfast food for the tailgate! count me in

Nice Tony, I had several folks planning on this tailgate to be the one to show up for.  But now just a few of us die-hards. 

[Temple game to be on ESPNU 10/14 @ 11 a.m.]

11:00 a.m. start, that will really impact our tailgate in a poor way. 

I'm not happy at all about these short-notice game times or what we are getting stuck with.

No, but we've discussed on this board before that people push for playing Texas FCS teams because according to them our fans are familiar with them and will get our fans to come out, as well as that they bring a good away crowd. I don't recall ever seeing a large number of away fans for an FCS game, maybe some sparse ones here and there, but nothing that was notable. 

I don't remember that, but I think playing an FCS team was considered a tune-up game in reaction to the old days when our out-of-conference games were dominated by playing top 10 teams, and we would all be hoping we had enough healthy players left for conference games. 

[After 4 games, how do we feel about Coach Morris?]

I really like that he took less money to put together an actual recruiting staff that we never had before. I think it's aimed at the DFW area, the North Texas region, and all of Texas and more.

I feel the previous staff failed in their recruiting as a whole, with what seemed to be a lack of effort recruiting. 

[Early Prediction - Will we hold Navy to less than 500 yards offense?]

I think Morris is still playing nice but doesn't have time for that. He better get this show moving because next week will be here fast. Navy is looking to chew us up and spit us out. 

Coach Morris knows our available resources, and he needs to tighten up defensive schemes that best fit the personnel at hand. Fix the tackling. Remove CAPONI if that helps fire up the defensive side. 

It is like we need some tackling fuel.

Not a bad guess @elpasoeagle

 

Did you play the lottery tonight? 

[****OFFICIAL ACU vs UNT In-Game Thread***]

I felt like they were trying to run more and control the clock in an attempt to keep our dead last-place defense off the field.

Sadly, I do not believe we will

Considering that ACU just put 397 yards on us I would say that's a sure thing.

I expect to beat teams like Rice or Tulsa by a score of 45-31. Not ACU. No where near good enough tonight.

Navy is 1-3 right now, and licking their chops at the thought of whaling on our defense next Saturday. The Mean Green offense will have to score 70, because the UNT defense is trash. If this is the best our defense can play, then we might not win a conference game this season. 

FIX THIS CRAP MORRIS!!!!!!!!!!!

Did I live through something like that once before? Maybe a record number of overtimes?

I got a memo from Dr Hurley's office in the late 80's that we were not to use Mean Green on stationary,  or anything official from our office.  He wanted Eagles..not Mean Green Eagles, not Mean Green, just Eagles...go figure his logic.

 

Well, he was retired Air Force.

 

It looks like the Mean Green outlasted him. 

I believe he handed me my diploma when I walked at the pit.

Thanks, Harry!

 

I like this Coach more and more. I hope he can make the adjustments to keep us in the win column. I feel like there is so much untapped potential with Coach Morris. I guess we will see. 

[Are we playing the bye at home tonight?]

A friend just drove by our stadium and said all the lights were on, and they were wondering if we had a Friday night game. Looking to see if I was there. I wonder what is going on,

Yet this one is not enforced at all. You allow fans from other schools (mainly SMU and UH) to troll freely, almost seeming to encourage it by allowing it.

You would be surprised how much it is actually enforced.
