Rutgers vs Wisconsin - Noon On Peacock
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Michigan has been on Peacock already this season. And we had a crap ton of old men who spend 365 days a year discussing Michigan football complaining about having to pay the price of a fast food lunch to watch a game.
Looks like the $20 deal expired, I tried with code N2TEWDZZ. Does anyone have another code? If not I'll use the Big Ten one, $40 is still better than $60.
I (almost) always rest easy. After the BTN fiasco a couple weeks ago, I will believe the game's airing on BTN when I see it. All while resting easy.
Peacock has deal for $1.99/month for college students. My son is soph at Univ of Delaware. So I signed up using his credentials (they do a verification process) If you have kid in college it's an option.
Thanks, unfortunately (actually fortunately) that ship has sailed, both my kids graduated.
Again, that’s a TV provider issue. BTN is producing and airing the game.I (almost) always rest easy. After the BTN fiasco a couple weeks ago, I will believe the game's airing on BTN when I see it. All while resting easy.
Spend thousands dollars per year on tickets, parking, mandatory donations, tailgate equipment/supplies, food, drinks, alcohol for 7 games, hours to arrive early and then sit in traffic after = good times
Spend 15 minutes set up and $20 to watch one game = end of the world!

You obviously never read the book The Millionaire Next Door.
Key Lesson 5: Be Frugal
Practice mindful spending by considering the value of each purchase and whether it is worth the cost.
I will let you adopt my kid to get the deal, if you pay the remaining 3.5 years of tuition at about $150K. Deal?
Questions:
1. Did they announce the broadcast crew?
2. How does one watch replays? It is like Fox Sports- any time on demand while a subscriber?
Thanks.

I haven’t seen the crew announced, but they are doing 2 B1G games that day (another at 3:00). Maybe Eagle and Blaxkledge?
There are actually 9 Peacock exclusive games in 2023 (one time exception to the normal 8):
Per MattSarz.com:
NBC Sports B1G Rights Notes
15 games to air on NBC per season.
- In addition to the games on NBC, 8 additional games per season will air on Peacock. In 2023, NBC intended to air 16 games. Instead of that, they will air an additional game exclusively on Peacock meaning nine games will air on Peacock for 2023 per NBC Sports president Rick Cordella.
- Most NBC games will air in primetime on the east coast while games on Peacock could be scheduled for any game window or start time.
- NBC will carry one Black Friday game per season in primetime.
- NBC has rights to the 2026 Big Ten Championship.
Yes. I'm not looking to point fingers or anything. Just hoping to not get caught scrambling for high-def coverage like a couple weeks ago.
I have the FOX Sports app installed on my main TV now, plus the Big Ten app. So if it's, for some reason, not airing on the primary Optimum BTN channel, I'll can quickly switch to the FOX Sports app.
For the Wisconsin game, I still need to install Peacock and sign up w/them, I guess. $120/year is not worth even thinking about. But it's still slightly irritating to have to pay to watch a single game that we'll almost certainly lose, potentially badly.
Definitely not eagle and blackledge, as they do the NBC prime time game.
There is no Notre Dame game that day so the 2 peacock pairs will likely be Collingsworth and Garrett (regular ND crew) and one of
- Brendan Burke (play-by-play), Paul Burmeister (play-by-play), Andrew Siciliano (play-by-play), Joshua Perry (analyst), Michael Robinson (analyst), Kyle Rudolph (analyst) Anthony Herron (analyst), and Caroline Pineda (sidelines) will call Big Ten Football games.
For basketball with Jerry Recco, that's fine. For football with Carlin, not so much. Although I do like our analysts on football: JPO, Eric and Mike Teel.Who needs Peacock????
Who needs Peacock????
Hoops fans will need it as a large amount of games will air there
People can get really weird about even trivially small amounts of money. Even, and maybe especially, wealthy people, which I always find funny.
I know people who get seriously pissed off over amounts that are essentially a roundoff error on their monthly investment income. If teased about it, which is something I do because I'm a douchebag like that, they invariably respond that they didn't get to be wealthy by throwing money away.
But that's a poor rationalization, IMO, no pun intended. Because realistically, stressing out about $20 or less is never going to do anything to make anybody wealthy. It's not even worth thinking about. Not for anybody who's financially comfortable, let alone wealthy.
OTOH, for folks who are living paycheck to paycheck, then I can totally understand it. The ever-expanding set of "required" entertainment subscriptions is screwing them.
For many of us the college we graduated from no longer exists:
Rutgers College, Cook, Livingston, Douglass...etc...

I don't consider myself wealthy at all just "normal" and I won't get stressed/angry about these kind of things but I can/will avoid "little" costs like these at times.
It's less about the money for me and more about the principle and mindset of wasting or spending unnecessarily (regardless of the amount). 2nd generation immigrant and we scrounged and saved a bit growing up (no school loans etc...)and while I wish I was a frugal as my parents, I'm not. (suppose some of that kind of things gets lost with each generation) I'm usually better about bigger ticket things and not so good about smaller ticket things (but smaller ticket things can add up). If anyone calls me cheap or stingy, it doesn't bother me. I do what's right for me. People like to say "a penny saved is a penny earned" (one of my moms favorite sayings) but if it's put in practice you get scorned, so be it.
Right now I have Prime, AppleTV, Max, Netflix4K, Disney+ (Hulu ESPN+) and they don't get used nearly enough as they should. So I'm already "wasting" money there and then to throw Peacock on top of it I'm like eh (don't watch much MBB and I didn't see anyone really respond about any good exclusive Peacock shows when I asked in the past). I don't complain about games being on Peacock though (that's how the B10 and RU is getting its tv money), I just do without or in this case listen on the radio like the good ole days lol. I say all this but as we get closer to the date I may change my mind lol (again not as good as my parents haha) and pay the 40 bucks for the year (usual do the annual plan if it's available).
Peacock is included in my Xfinity package. Do I have to pay extra to get the sports portion or am I good to go?
Are they? One one hand, it's a dumb reaction, because the media deals brought lots of money to the B1G teams--so shut up fans and deal with it.
On the other hand, it's a PITA to have to subscribe to a service, and not have access to the replay except on a separate App. Most of of older fans are used to turning on the TV and going to our library of recordings to watch the games. For me, I will be at the game and I want to watch the replay. I'm sucking up the subscription fee because I like to watch the broadcast after seeing the game live.
Especially since they could have held the Pac-12 minus UCLA/USC together for cheap. Getting 1-2 Colorado games in 2024 may have alone made any deal mutually profitable.
With all the streaming games on different services I need my appletv to run a split screen so I can have a peacock game and cable (through their app) running at once.
Nothing worse than flipping between apps

So true . Peacock seems slower to get into and out of . So you’re not really gonna flip if you have a one tv setup
Damn that's a lot of services! Why so many? Nobody has that much free time to need all of them. No?
I don't use them all that often, not even close. That's what I mean, I have so many but don't come close to using them enough. I can afford it but it doesn't mean I should which is part of my point. It's less about the money and more about I'm being wasteful unnecessarily. Like I said, not as good as my parents when I was growing up. Back then it was necessity to be frugal, now it's more mindset of try to be. I'm good with large ticket things but smaller ticket things, not always.
I'm already feeling the pull to tack on Peacock lol.
Anyone knows if you can watch the peacock game on delay (i.e. start 60 minutes late) or do you have to wait till the full replay becomes available? If not, any idea when the replay become available? I remember BIG+ would make you wait like 6 hours after the game.
I have an event that will keep me from watching the start of the game but would like to watch it in its entirety (start to finish).

Good question. I'll see if I can check sometime this week with a different game/sport (if any available).
