Man, what is up with these SEC teams playing people they can hang 40+ on by halftime.* Play somebody who can give you a ******* game.

Wonder how much of this is FCS football has been dominated by Northern schools for a while. So when the SEC plays local FCS schools, it’s against average FCS teams and when the Big12 / Big10 schools play FCS it’s against the NDSU / SDSU teams that can give you a game if you’re not careful.

Switch to YouTube TV. You don't have to deal with that crap with them

Are they gonna just shut it all down then? Cause sports seems to be the only thing keeping people tied to their cable/satellite/streaming services. Without that, why wouldn’t you just do Hulu and HBO to basically get everything that’s on DTV?

I split directv stream with my parents and sister. They're the only service that has the regional sports networks (Brewers), which is a majority of our tv viewing.

That really could be a big part of what's driving it.
