    No sign of one anytime soon. They had around 30,000 at the last game and they released lots of €20 tickets to pad out the crowd.

    It’s finished for the foreseeable as far as I know. Was an agreement for a game every 2 years but I understand Aer Lingus pulled the sponsorship for some reason. I’m sure it was discussed on a thread here.

    I don’t see how Urban survives this if true:

    He's already been placed on leave. They fired Tressel for less, so I expect him to be gone once they've investigated.

    QB1: Beyond The Lights has been added to Netflix for anyone that's interested. Follows 3 Quarterbacks in their final year before moving to a D1 college. It's a good watch.

    I find it a weird one with Urban. I mean he can’t monitor his wife’s messages, who’s to say she’s not lying & even if she’s not Meyer committed no crime, are the police arresting the coach who was assaulting his wife? Baffles me how the only person who most likely losses in this is the Head Coach. $6m a year job gone for no wrong doing of his own.

    Fair enough if it is PROVEN he kept it under wraps, I’m sure the wife at the time wouldn’t have wanted the husband losing the job no matter what he was doing, I looked at her interview earlier & she kept saying the same thing ‘I thought I could change him’ surely if she thought that she would of kept it in house as much as possible & if it got out would of pleaded with Meyer not to fire her husband.

    Just my opinion obviously.

    Yes BT/ESPN has live games and College GameDay. This week they have a College GameDay episode showing the best of the 2017 season.

    ESPN player is €20 p/m & you can watch whatever game you want. Unbelievable value, can be chronecasted or played through a fire stick also.

    The Solid Verbal recently did a season preview of the Big Ten East (Aug 2nd show) and Big Ten West (July 19th show). They tend to go through each team's schedules and project what their record will be.

    Against all odds with cousin sál from the ringer podcasts are good for the gambling. They'll cover big 10 I'm sure but they won't focus on it at all.

    I managed to find, by pure chance, Rolling with the tide, on YouTube. Fascinating insight on Alabama. The first two episodes are up at the moment.

    In a word - no.

    Week Zero is for gamblers only.

    Have tried this, the app is only available in the US. I tried VPN and still no joy...do you have a workaround?

    I have the app and it works here. Prices are in Euro as well, they'd hardly be advertising in Euro if it doesn't work.

    The Website even states its available in Europe, Middle East & Africa. :confused:

    ESPN Player should work fine here, though it doesn't have every game. It'll have a lot, but some of the big games that would be exclusive to Fox or other networks won't be on it so just be careful.

    When it comes to watching college football, a good IPTV subscription that has US channels is all you need, plus you always have reddit.com/r/CFBstreams.

    Do it on the website not app, but like what was said it won’t have every game, the prime time games on other networks aren’t showed & I think Notre Dames games are excluded too but open to be corrected.

    Far as I know Notre Dame home games are exclusive to NBC. It's a very lucrative arrangement for both, probably makes things a bit difficult for Irish college ball fans though.
