Stadium is available to everyone for free if they have internet.  It's not a bad thing.

That’s true but I’m guessing usually its not worth the trouble to get it up? I have missed a few away games that are on it, but never ESPN plus. 
 

maybe stadium will sell out to espn? Idk.

Giddy up, it should be one of the best CUSA games in the history of this conference.

 

I don't see how UAB is still Top 50 with conference losses to Rice, Marshall, and Old Dominion recently??

Agreed. Wore my UNT shirt yesterday at Disney and came across people who recognized the brand and spread the word the game was easy to find on ESPN plus. Nobody including our fellow CUSA member school fans like any game on stadium. You can see them complain elsewhere on social media. It’s the equivalent of Bien Sports only far less known. 

Give me the stadium product over ESPN on all day. At least their production team tries to put out a quality product.

Agree. I downloaded the Stadium App on Apple TV.  It’s pretty easy, it’s free, and a decent product.

"The Blazers hold a perfect 15-0 record in Bartow Arena this season, winning all 15 matchups by double digits and five of their past six games in their on-campus home by 21 or more points."

Thanks.  ESPN3 is much better than Stadium but beggars can't be choosy.

ESPN3 is hit or miss with their people, and it’s usually a wide shot left.

I’m super nervous about this contest.  I truly am.  Can’t get a solid handle on how it plays out.  UAB is so good and is a matchup nitemare 4 us.

This isn’t true. UAB was 43 and we were 47 when we played in Denton just a month ago.

Because Stadium is a sports production company, while ESPN+ is dependent on the home team’s production capabilities. IMO, I’d rather be on the platform that most sports fans use or at least know exists. ESPN+ has gotten WAY better over the last few years. Plus, it’s cool to hear our guys on the call when it’s a home game.

That’s what I was thinking. Couldn’t remember the exact numbers.

[Cooke County Kid]

If you live in the DFW area stadium is broadcast over the air on I believe channel 47. 
 

GO MEAN GREEN!!!
WIN GAMES!!!

[bstnsportsfan3]

Stadium is channel 24 on spectrum in DFW. Miles better then any ESPN 3/ESPN Plus broadcast! 

[wardly]

UAB is 4 1/2 point favorites. Everything I read says we must win this game in order to be considered for an at large bid should we lose our conference tournament. As of today we are ranked # 2 among top 10 mid majors and UAB #9. Basically we flipped with them from last week do to their getting thumped buy ODU.

[Green Otaku]

Focus! Focus! Focus! Let's get it.

Current mood.  Birmingham alabama.  Sidenote......posted up next to shiny new football stadium.....tons of bars right next to stadium....2 hotels.....this is absolutely a football Destination....

[UNTLifer]

They are undefeated at home and we are undefeated on the road.  Something has to give.  I like our chances.

KENPOM rankings, not NET. That’s why he said 2005 because NET came out in 2018, KENPOM has been out for a long time.

If you care about this team, this program, this school and our future, you’ll say the damn magic words we’re  all waiting for in the next 90 minutes.
