    I watch all the games thru questionable websites from Europe. Have to click off a million bogus pop ups in the beginning, but once you get through that, it is usually smooth sailing. I refuse to pay for cable or satellite. Sometimes I'll do sling for a couple months.

    Get a friend to log you into the espn app with their service provider credentials. Espn+ subscription by itself does not include espnu.

    Go to regular youTube just before kickoff. Search "Florida McNeese football game". Somebody is bound to be streaming it. I did it for the Utah game and it worked fine...

    Your computer is likely packed with malware. That's the price you're paying. There are no free lunches.

    Been doing it for 6 years on the same laptop. No malware. I know what I'm doing, but thank you for your concern.

    I'm not sure missing the game this week was a big deal but I will miss all of the Bama,TAMU and LSU homeboys on Finebaum Monday. Should be total lunacy with only a money game by the leg hummers to thimp their chest about. Means more I guess.

    I tried going that route but way too many hoops to jump through including signing up for a $1 account where I need to put in my CC info.

    I've never had to do that, but it is a hassle sometimes and they don't always have all the games and it can be choppy at times. They didn't have ESPNU so I had to break down and get FUBO free for a 1 week trial, which I will cancel. The rest of the games will be on normal stations I can watch at my folks house. Gives me a reason to visit them anyway. It's not like I can't afford to pay for cable or any of the other services. I just always resented the idea of paying for a service and then also having to sit through advertisements.
