    Of course. And it includes CBS. With the Super Bowl and college football over I was just about to finally switch over to YTTV. Look for me to finally cut the cord at the next millennium. 

    The CBS leverage is March Madness.

    ESPN scroll saying YTTV may lose ESPN in a couple of days.

    Blackout includes local ABC channel, so no ESPN and ABC during the bowl season. But they're reducing the bill by $15 during the blackout so you get Game Show Network at a reduced rate!

     

    Spoiler

    We welcome a renewed agreement provided we can reach equitable terms with Disney. However, if we are unable to reach a deal by Friday, the Disney-owned channels will no longer be available on YouTube TV starting December 17, and we will decrease our monthly price by $15, from $64.99 to $49.99 (while Disney content remains off of our platform).

    God bless Del Conte for everything he has done - and he's done a lot.

    But our game day, the in game, environment is an unbridled joke, maybe more than it's ever been.  It's fucking laughable and beyond.  And that is on Del Conte. And no one else.  The University of Texas isn't a pro team, and never will be. Fuck all these transplants he, Polonsky in her past and everyone else that you are trying to cater to.  It's a college football game - driven by the fans and the band.  Not by the desire to be a fucked up, audio-driven, whored out beyond recognition Vegas night club.  Pretty much every second of dead air in the stadium is an all out assault, and battery, on one's senses.  Punctuated by some hell-bent desire to push 95 decibels over the JumboTron - whether it be some stupid Tiff's Treat delivery, a Bill Haley and the Comets song, for god's sake, incessant ads or everything else in between. And there's a lot in between, not to mention that insufferable Bob Cole.   Let the game, band and the crowd be the focal point of the game.  There is no need to manufacture some god awful product that is just polluting the environment, and doing nothing else. 
     
    It's hard to come up for air in our stadium given the maniacal lunacy being driven down our throats.   At some point maybe some sanity will prevail.  Polonsky was the devil that drove this for years.  I thought Del Conte had neutered her impact overall.  I guess not in this respect.  

    He did the same thing at TCU. I went to the game over there 2 years ago and swore I would never go back. You never have a chance to breathe. The ironic thing is Texas plays in the perfect college game setting every year, the second Saturday of October. Just bands playing, fans  screaming and organic cheers like Texas Fight. You would think they'd learn that you don't need to trick it up just because some consultants say you should.

    I feel like he was noticeably worse this past weekend. I've never liked him, obviously, but by mid-1st quarter I was ready to do him bodily harm. Was he louder? Was it more of him? More Bob Colely? 

    What happens is that now that it's on your mind, you focus on it more. Last weekend I was cringing anticipating what was going to be said next. The gravely fake Texas growl is what makes me want to jump off a bridge.
