DAZN’s coverage of college football is legitimately insulting to paying customers

Instead of showing one of the biggest college football regular season games, pretty much ever, with Lane Kiffin’s return to Oxford, DAZN are refusing to show LSU/Ole Miss until FSU/Alabama has finished.

FSU/Alabama was rain delayed. There are still 3 minutes left in the third quarter. If you have paid to watch college football in the UK/Ireland you are not getting what you have paid for. It’s outright pathetic.

Earlier today, Clemson hosted North Carolina. The game was weather delayed, when it came back, DAZN showed Kentucky/Texas A&M and didn’t bother putting coverage of Clemson back on.

Last night when Houston played Texas Tech, most of the first quarter not only didn’t have audio, it had a constant buzzing sound. When the buzzing sound left, it was replaced with a woman narrating the plays.

This would be acceptable if DAZN was still showing games for free, but they aren’t. They are charging money for this. I paid money for this coverage. It’s a complete and utter fucking pisstake.

The North Carolina/Clemson stream on DAZN is showing Texas A&M and the SMU/Louisville stream is showing Clemson

My 96ovr TAMU defense is physically incapable of stopping a 64ovr Texas State offense on supersim

They’ve converted 3rd and 18, they’ve scored on every drive, they’re breaking 40 yard plays every drive.

This shit so fucking dumb lol, I don’t mind playing D, I don’t mind that upsets can happen, but im quite literally the best team in the country. They’re scoring in four/five plays every single time. What the fuck is actually wrong with this game?

Had a fantastic team watching football in Greece

Great football, unbelievable fans. Smoking and drinking in the stands. Had a great time, Athens is also my favourite city on Earth, been a few times now ✌️

Genuinely going to be following the Super League from now on, been watching all the highlights and watching AEK atm. Can’t wait to come back! I’ll be back for some Basketball too soon 💪

Anywhere in Athens I can play five a side football?

Just by chance would anyone know anywhere? Or any apps, anything?

Would fucking love a game of football atm

The view of an unfortunately very empty stadium in Dublin

I was sat on the corner and now im sat midfield lol, the entire middle of the stadium is empty. But fuck it, we have football and we have beers. Let’s fucking go.

What’s your default response to ‘How are you?’

Personally I’m a ‘not too bad’man myself. Wondering what everyone else usually goes for as their generic reply?

So who’s going to the game on Saturday?

What’s the move for everyone? I’m a Jets fan so personally excited to boo Belichick and hopefully see him lose (although obviously I want a good game), but no idea what to do on the day itself.

All the ‘tailgating’ pubs are in Temple Bar and I’ve got absolutely zero desire to pay €10 for a watered down pint, but I also want to be amongst the craic so I’m not sure what to do. Might just sink a few cans and sip a pint to be in the crowd, although I do find sipping pints a difficult challenge.

I posted on the Tar Heels subreddit and a fella from the Dublin Rebels was saying there’s a tailgating event on in the Sandymount Hotel i want to say? Can’t remember, but if you’re in this thread feel free to mention where it’s at!

But yeah, any craic? I’m proper looking forward to it, never been to the Dublin game before but I have been to college games in the states before. I do think there’s a good chance TCU absolutely batter them though.

Any predictions too? I reckon ultimately TCU handle them easy enough, 38-21 im saying.

Wait I’m sorry, THIS is what you all got so upset about today?

What is wrong with this subreddit lol

What a complete non-issue. I assumed from the comments and posts on this subreddit that Eric went complete dickhead mode and Andrew was saying the most ridiculous shit ever. Genuinely what is wrong with you all? What’s with ALL the posts about this? It was the most innocuous, whatever conversation ever. They have this conversation 40 times a week, why the fuck are you all freaking out about this?

Eric was fine, Andrew was fine, Nick/Gavin/Geoff were fine. Why are you all so unbelievably dramatic about this? The comments on the posts are making it sounds like Andrew basically said alt-right level material.

The cast also basically didn’t react, it was so unbelievably innocuous and just a normal, regulation conversation. This subreddit sucks.

I have my issues with Eric and how he conducts himself in the pod at times, but the top post on the sub right now is ‘Eric lost his temper in a way i always wanted to’

ERIC DIDNT FUCKING LOSE HIS TEMPER.

Is this the worst football game ever for throwing the deep ball?

Yeah the timing meter exists, but that’s pure cheese and also doesn’t work a lot. As far as the actual separation goes and how receivers get open, I’ve never seen a football game that has less receivers get open.

I’ve played football games since 2003, and Madden has always deeply opposed the deep ball, but this year’s CFB feels like it’s impossible to throw deep unless you green the catch meter. I want separation, I want my 99 speed WR to beat his defender in man. But they fucking stick to them, every single time. I play on Heisman, I’ve got my sliders going, everything else feels okay but the deep ball. I just cannot throw the ball unless I green the catch meter. But every single deep throw shouldn’t be contested.

It’s like they looked at CFB 25 when you could abuse verts and said ‘Let’s never ever let that happen again’. Last year felt really balanced on me for deep balls, this year I’m relying on crossing routes, slants and outs more than ever.

My WR1 is basically always covered too. Unless I can scheme against the D, my WR1 is never beating the man by himself. I can beat zones no problem, but the AI feels so OP in man.

Looking for anything like District 9/Children of Men. Movies with great world building/that feel alive and plausible

Hello all!

Watched District 9 and Children of Men over the last two nights, two absolutely unbelievable movies with fantastic world building that feel alive, but also feel so realistic that the premises seem entirely realistic.

Are there any movies along the same vein? Anything with that terrific world building or even just some dystopian that feels like it could happen?

Hope I’m making sense! Thank you all!

Edit: Starship Troopers is another example along those lines, another fantastic movie.
