Uggh.... stupid Peacock
- Thread starter TheC
- Start date
Disappointed that the EIU game on 11/15 is at 7:00. That’s Friday of homecoming weekend and reunion events are happening that night concurrently with the game. For those of us on a reunion year coming in from out of town it would’ve been nice for the game to be earlier in the day.
Good news is that the NCAA Tourney isn't on Peacock and so no trouble watching those NU games (if you can find TruTV)
None of it is free but the combination of having to get multiple packages just to watch is getting ridiculous. Worse is that many of those games are away games. It is not just one group reaching into our pockets, it is multiple. Plus having to make arrangements for yet another. It is abuse of the fans
Didn't Homicide: Life on the Street finally get to streaming on Peacock? I can see spending a few bucks watching that show every night except the nights the Cats are on.
I could maybe get by without it, but geez, the first and last Big Ten games are there? It would be agonizing if I couldn't watch those, especially if the last game turns out to be important.

So, join for a month, threaten to cancel, then get 6 months for $12.
OR
Join for a month, actually cancel, then rejoin for the last month of the season, then recancel...
I've joined Peacock for a month on a variety of occasions for a single event or group of events just to cancel immediately afterward. From this schedule, it would require buying for 2 months initially, then cancelling, then doing 1 more month at the end of the conference season. I will try cancelling after the first month though and see if they offer a deal to stay on through the rest of the CBB season!
With only 2 games on B1G+ this year and one of those the Lewis exhibition, I'll probably pass on paying for the Pepperdine game after doing it for 1-2 months for the non-conference slate over the last few years.
You are missing out on Peacock's best sports event-The Six Nations Rugby Tournament. Everybody should enjoy bleeding, concussions and broken limbs. The tournament begins about Feb 1 and extends through March. Ireland will be defending its' championship.
For rugby enthusiasts, Leinster host Munster at Croke Park, Dublin this weekend. It is already sold out with more than 70,000 expected. The Taoiseach gave dispensation for the match to be played at Croke Park, usually reserved exclusively for GAA sports-hurling and Gaelic football. The match can be seen on Flosports-the best bargain for rugby enthusiasts-URC(United Rugby Championship), French Top 14, Pacific Rugby Championship(NZ, Australia, Pacific Islands), Currie Cup(S. Africa), Fall and Summer internationals
Rugby is the most demanding contact sport. It requires fitness, strength, aggression, speed, agility and quality mouthpieces

I feel proud to immediately remember where I was when I had to watch a game on OwlVision.
The Olympics coverage on Peacock was awesome. It seems to be getting better, and has lots of things worth watching. (Snl)
Yeah, Homicide is probably only other reason for subscribing. Parks and Rec and the Office are on Comedy Central.
Leinster beat Munster 26-12 before 80,458.
That attendance is almost 2% of Ireland's population
English Premier League on Peacock is the weekend morning wake-me-up that I never knew I needed. EPL and a big coffee mug and a quiet house is a perfect Saturday morning.
My wife claims Peacock is free, but definitely through some overpriced Apple or ATT (or almost certainly Xfinity, h/t @PurpleWhiteBoy) offer. Still, I’d be lost without my (September through May — soccer is crazy!) Peacock Saturday mornings. (International break this weekend tho.)

Out here in Chicago suburbs Peacock is "free" as long as you are paying for Xfinity (Comcast) hi speed internet.
From my perspective the two are pretty unrelated, but obviously that Peacock cost is factored into in the internet price.
Me too. Although I take advantage of Peacock replays and watch later in the day. The commentators are excellent, particularly Lee Dixon.
I grew up in an area where soccer was the primary Fall sport. I enjoyed playing the game and respect the extraordinary skills of the pros but I find the game to be boring. The suspected feigned injuries should be yellow carded and converted to 2 game suspensions after video review.
1. Make the goal bigger
2. Eliminate offsides
3. Allow sideline throw ins or immediate kick ins-a 5 yard throw or a 70 yard kick. Tire the players which will create more space as the game progresses. Any player who skips up the sideline on a throw in should be yellow carded and later castrated
I have been nominated to the FIFA Advisory Board-I will let you know how well my suggestions are received .
The joy of soccer is the misery. Quintessentially British.
(The rarity of goals means every goal is ohhh sooo fun!)
It’s a game of tactics and skill and creativity but, in the last 20 minutes or so, it becomes a pure endurance battle. You start to see opportunities pile up both because of increased aggressiveness, and also fatigue causing defenders to lose their marks.
@Purple Pile Driver , admitting here that my way in was a (free) Fantasy Premier League entry.
I had to laugh last night at just how important the Peacock studio team took this game last night. A ton of time discussing it beforehand, at halftime, and especially after the game, like it was the most important game on the schedule last night. I don't think I've ever seen an NU out-of-conference game analyzed like this one. That and "Homicide: Life on the Street" already makes my new subscription worth it.
Peacock did a good job on the game. The video of Brooks practicing 3's dripping with sweat was the higlight of the night for me. Tre continues to do a good job, hope he can continue to add games to his CV. And the lead commentator was good as well. They were well prepared for the game.
Actually produced by college TV classes. That is the published premise of Big+. Most of the BTN "juice" got taken away by all the divying up of product to the various networks plus Peacock. So BTN+ was left with college announcers and production staff showing under lighted night games of women's soccer.
So what. Peacock is available to me for $5.50 per month because I have a smart t.v. I have Spectrum cable, and everything I want to watch is available to me except the streaming services..
No doubt Mama Glass is proudly looking down, as Nick washed those Mountain Hawks in the river and hung ‘em on the line.
