I was away from home and tried to stream the game on xfinity. Turned on the SEC alternate channel at 7:15 and women's soccer was on. At 7:30 the channel guide said that Florida-Missouri was on, but the soccer game continued. Was finally able to get the game through ESPN after the first Gator scoring drive. WAS MAD AS HELL. Comcast/Xfinity is the worst. They keep finding new ways to make me hate them more.

It was strange. Some TVs were clear. Some weren't. Even the one that was was delayed.

Direct TV didn't go to the game until well into the 2nd quarter. Complete amateur hour!

I beg to differ Uncle Rob

I have lived all over the country and dealt with 6 different cable/internet companies including Comcast.
I now live in Gainesville with Cox Cable and I can assure you that Cox is THE WORST IN THE INDUSTRY.
As an example we had no service for 14 hours on Friday and spotty outages yesterday which is just another weekend with Cox Cable

Did it eventually go to the game? I checked at the start, about 10 minutes in, and just had the logo. I said Eff it and went on about watching other games.

I mentioned this in the game thread, but when I couldn't get the game on DirecTV, I watched on my laptop on ESPN3. This did not sit well with Mrs G. who raised holy hell with DirecTV customer service. No idea what impact her rant had, but she is taking full credit for it eventually coming on nonetheless.

Odd... I've had Cox in Pensacola for 35 years.. Probably can count on two fingers the number of times I've lost service that wasn't due to a hurricane or power outage. And it's usually back on when power returns.

I wish I could say the same thing

I don’t think we’ve gone a month without it going out at least twice

Yes, it finally came on mid/late 2nd quarter. I should call and put some F-talk on them!

Trust me when I tell you that she wasn't the only one.

I used the ESPN app until Directv figured it out. Very frustrating.

I had to use alternate measures too - it never came n for me. There was a delay.
