If the game is only available on the internet then why is it at 11 AM?

Okay now I'll give you a reason to call me an olds in this thread. There are many reasons not to like having the game on Internet streaming but my biggest issue is the buffering and lag that interrupt the broadcast. Besides changing providers how do I avoid that?

A few years ago I watched the Florida game on a phone with a bad connection, after the game was over in real time, I was still watching for nearly 30 minutes to get to the end due to buffering and lag. Personally I think watching live Internet streaming is still in a primitive state and needs improving
Radio always plays ahead of tv therefor we should all listen to the game on radio and be confused by Andrew Monaco

I remember the 94 season and not having any televised games. However I would trade the 94 year with 2004 which was my freshman year. Having Dennis Franchione as coach, was worse than the Aggies being placed on probation and being banned from television appearances.

2004 was much better than 2003 until the cotton bowl vs Tennessee

Good thing was that those were still the SWC days so most of the '94 road games were a few hours away (including the pathetic tie with SMU in SA) except for LSU and Louisville, easy road trips for students.

I'll just listen to Dave South.

Um, Dave South stopped doing football before the 2017 season and retired from all sports in 2020 when everything was canceled.

Ooo, look at me. I don't have to listen to the radio like an lol poor.
You think I don't know that? I was actually honoring a fkn legend...

Does no one watch Aggie baseball. This is how we watch virtually every game.

Because thats the broadcast window ESPN gave us. Even though its not on a traditional channel, they still have say in what time they can "air" it as they don't want to risk having these pay games go up against their better time slots in what is already a weak slate of games this week.

maybe we should not be scheduling garbage time opponents for late in the season.
Actually, most in the know types are saying how smart the SEC is for scheduling these games late in the season. While other conferences are beating each other up, the SEC has basically a bye week/glorified scrimmage to get well and work on things before the final run.

How do I do this with directv? Is it on the SECN Alt? It's been so long since I've had to figure **** like this out. Do I need to fire up Justin tv?
In order to stream the ESPN app, you need:

1. Wireless internet router
2. Smart TV or some external device (I use Amazon Firestick for my non-smart TV)

If you have a smart TV (one that connects to your wireless router), you just need to download the ESPN app to your TV. If you do not have a smart TV, you can use an external device. I use the Amazon Firestick--it's about 3 inches long, and looks like an oversized flash drive. You plug it into one of the HDMI ports on your TV, then it connects to your wireless router and hosts your apps (like ESPN, Amazon Prime, Netflix, etc.), which allows you to stream on that TV. Principal is the same with other external devices.
