re: What is the cheapest way to have year round access to SEC Network/Espn

Posted by UltimateHog on 1/16/26 at 1:08 am to Kingshakabooboo

ESPN Unlimited subscription.

The cheapest reliable way to get both SEC Network (SECN) and ESPN (including ESPN2, etc.) in 2026, especially if you're already using an antenna (rabbit ears) for locals and free streaming like Pluto TV/Tubi for movies/TV, is ESPN Unlimited at $29.99 per month (or $299.99 annually for better value, ~$25/month).
This standalone service from ESPN/Disney gives you direct access to the full lineup of live ESPN networks, including:

ESPN
ESPN2
ESPNU
ESPNEWS
SEC Network (SECN)
ACC Network
Plus extras like ESPN+, SECN+, and ESPN on ABC for simulcasts.

It's specifically designed for people like you who don't need a full live TV bundle—just the sports essentials. Many sources highlight it as the most affordable and direct option for ESPN + SECN without cable, especially for college football fans.

re: Time to start discussing LSU new basketball coach for next year

Posted by UltimateHog on 1/16/26 at 12:55 am to 18handicap

I have heard Bryce Drew mentioned a few times lately. Realistic target and someone LSU will likely reach out to and/or interview. Yes he sucked at Vandy but he took that job nearly 10 years ago now, he has been great at GCU and has made the NCAAT 3 straight years and 4 of 5 there. Throw in from BR and that is an easy fit.

Name to keep an eye on mid major: Josh Schertz of Saint Louis. Only year 2 of rebuilding SLU and they are really, really good. 16-1 (4-0 A10), any kind of March success and he is gone somewhere.

Is there any indication Wade wants to return to LSU, especially given how the previous time ended and his current position at a school that places value on basketball?

No, there is zero chance he leaves NCST after 1 season.

Plus he has to pay them if he leaves.

NC State Contract (Signed March 2025)
If Wade leaves before April 1, 2026: He owes NC State $5 million.

re: Passan: Kyle Tucker to Dodgers. 4yrs/240m

but even your regular avg fan has to see that this is bad for the overall game.

Buying a championship contending team every season is not actually competitive.

No I see it as the opposite, this is going to force a lockout at the end of the season. Maybe even lose the entire 2027 season. It's absolutely amazing. :lol:

At that point we all win. The Dodgers get to sit at home with no league to play in and the rest get to wait for major changes before it returns.
