I do not post ever but my dislike for streaming these games in growing to the point of large, Mrs. and I watch every game, men and women and of course we lose the game today, Not my internet, out on everything I have. I understand its about money, buy I do not care abour their money, just want to watch the game. Subscriptions for ESPN reflect my feeling, hope I live long enough to see them do out of business. Rant complete, thanks joe

This applies to every team. No one gets to watch all their games on cable anymore. There would need to be twice as many cable sports channels in order to have enough space for all the games. I love being able to watch our track meets, softball, volleyball, baseball, etc. on Plus.

That's blatantly wrong unless you're talking about the B12 as a whole. The B10 has their own network which you must pay extra for beyond normal cable. Same for the PAC12 Network.

We are the only power five where you can watch just about every single contest in every single sport. This week you could watch Baylor play softball, baseball, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's track, volleyball, A&T and if it hadn't been postponed, even equestrian. How in the world can people gripe about that?

ESPN is losing so much money I'm just thankful they are sustaining as much as they are through another season. My feelings are mixed, because I don't like ESPN either.

ESPN and Fox sports with internet back up for the few games that were not covered was way better. The general public, especially senior adults, now have no way to watch unless espn picks up a game. And why espn picks up irrelevant games and puts us on internet defies logic and market forces. So, I'm with you Joe. ESPN plus does not even work that well either. Have to"re-authenticate" endlessly, and replays are pitiful, BUs fault, and are always 10 min behind.

He's probably not griping just looking for more clicks. Sorry I contributed.

We may be unusual, I don't know, but we love Espn+ because we can see so many games we could not have seen before, and it works great for us, no problems. We love to watch lots of Baylor sports, women and men, and try to watch every game and don't mind seeing on espn+, we just want to watch

I am not a big fan of ESPN. However I do like ESPN plus because I do get to watch lots of games and when it's convenient for me. In fact, the only reason that I missed the Oklahoma game is because it was on Fox and no one got around to putting it on YouTube. Luckily it will soon be on the Big 12 digital page. I sometimes have problems with the streaming but I think that's because of my ISP.

I actually like ESPN+. We can watch almost every game. When my wife is tired of watching sports on TV, I just go to the computer. During time outs I play Hearts and Spades. I think it is a plus.

to elaborate I can't record the events, the streaming goes out time to time, many events won't go back or forward, the game today just stopped in the third quarter and everything else on our streaming worked. Plus I don't really care for espn for a bunch of reasons. I agree that more events is good but a heavy price to pay. thanks Joe

Joe, it sounds like an issue with your WiFi or computer. There's no need to record since every event can be watched on replay at any time. I've never had a problem with rewinding or forwarding. The game today didn't go out in the third quarter.

Without ESPN+, it would be hit or miss if our WBB team would be on ESPN or FoxSports. This last game with K-State was broadcast live 7AM in the middle of the Pacific. I slept in and simply fired up the replay when I got up :-)

Or it may be internet service provider like me.

My only issues with ESPN+ is that they still have commercials, but those are easy to ignore, and that the library of games available for replay are only recent ones. I would love to be able to go back and watch old games from several years ago (especially MBB v Louisville a few years ago or some of RGIII's football games or the WBB games from 2011-12).

I sometimes have problems with it "freezing" up. Sometimes it just goes all "pixilized" with sound and other times the picture is frozen (usually on a commercial) while the sound continues on, usually happens during halftime. I am using a Fire Stick Lite. I usually can rectify the problem by going and clearing cache from any application having a lot. Sometimes I also need to restart the Fire Stick. Haven't had the problem so much anymore if I clear the cache before I start viewing. Anybody else run into this?

Of course, as soon as BB season ends, it gets cancelled.

So not being able to record is my issue. I keep seeing that I can rewatch every game but I guess I don't know how to access those games because I usually only get like 2 weeks back when I do a search. When games were on network and I recorded, I would put something on nearly everyday throughout summer because I don't care for daytime tv. Am I missing how to access earlier games? Otherwise, I love the exposure for all the different sports!

My ESPN+ is FREE, with my Verizon cell service plan.
If you have a cell service with Verizon.....look into it.
