Wow, that was some semi-final college football playoff game

As a Penn State fan, it was heartbreaking - but what a game. I have been hard on Franklin but not sure this one was his fault. Allar threw a bad interception, WRs need to be better and the defense had a let up. Congrats to Notre Dame. Both teams gave it their all.

I don’t put this all on Franklin. Next year though if no championship, might be time to move on.

YouTube should have highlights if not the whole game. Tight battle in the 2nd half. Anybody but Ohio State.

But once your initial "sign-up" discounts expire they'll start raising your rate by $10 mo. and increase it every 6 months. The starving hedge fund owners need to keep up with the cost of private jet fuel.

But, Xfinity offers a "Popular TV" package that includes ESPN 1 & 2 plus many other things for around $55/month.
I'd assume their competitors are in the same ballpark.

in their basic package. They just raised that rate. They do have a promotional rate of $59.99 for the first 3 months, then goes to $82.99 / mo.
I switched from Spectrum to YouTube TV a year ago and have been happy with it and even with the price increase I'm saving about $100/ mo over what I'd been paying for Spectrum here in Durham, NC. I also dumped Spectrum Internet when Google Fiber came to the neighborhood last summer and I'm paying less for that with much faster download/upload speeds .

Are they allowed air conditioning? Must they eat ramen and beans everyday to satisfy your requirements? Your post is a blatant personal attack on the OP and should be deleted.
