    Fascinating story, I know, but I'm feeling cheated. I'm not mad AT Sling, just disgusted that I subscribed.... solely for the purpose of watching the college football season.

    And now I don't have the stomach for college football. Four days ago I wouldn't have missed Ole Miss - Fla St. for the world, but right I now I can honestly say I don't even know who won between those two. I only know that Alabama won against USC because so many of these board denunciations of Les and Cam compared them to Saban and company.

    I've been a rabid college football fan for 55 years, and I've certainly suffered through more excruciating LSU losses than that one on Saturday to Wisconsin, but I can honestly say I've never experienced one more DEFLATING. I wasn't even infuriated, not even disgusted... just deflated. The air has gone out of the balloon. I no longer care. Thank you, Les.

    If you watched Texas, you'll see what can happen when a coach realizes he must change his offensive philosophy, hires a competent OC and let's him do his job. But Les is no Charlie.

    Ole miss/FSU was a hell of a game. Proof that with the right coaching a Freshman QB is not the end of the world after all. More than that, the Freshman QB had a pretty shitty 1st half then got his act together.

    The Alabama one is another tell tale. When saw Jalen Hurts fumble his first snap and turn it over I immediately thought of Brandon Harris' first snap against Wisconsin 2 years ago. Jalen Hurts comes back in and has a better game than our 3 year QB did.

    dont let it ruin your season. just sleep on the sofa and let him pick his ear and nose. watch everyone else. we wont lose em all. maybe 4 or so. poulan weedeater should return just for us. its still everyones favorite named bowl and we will not likely be able to afford another one once we pay les off. so lets get ready for shreveport.

    At least i'll get a chance to see LSU football in person if we can qualify for Shreveport. Silver lining.

    Charlie had more problems than offensive philosophy, he had line personnel issues that would make colorado feel better about themselves. Took him this long to get the cupboards looking like home. What charlie did though was adapt to the skillset of his players, something miles clearly doesn't get. Jimbo went in at halftime and demanded adjustments and came out world beaters. Miles used to when he allowed his coordinators to...coordinate.

    Fuck.

    So how was the pic quality? I dropped mine last year after baseball season since nothing else was worth watching. Mine would freeze alot and require rehoming. I'd blame Charter but Netflix runs like a top. They offered to give me another Roku with 3mons paid so I may jump back on. Someone else here used as well but I forget who.

    The picture quality was excellent. Much better than last season. I don't recall a single buffer or delay. I do have to say, however, that I just switched to an Amazon Fire TV over my previous Fire Stick and the added memory and processing speed might have something to do with the superior performance.
