This post is two-fold: 1) To just be excited about the near return of college football, specifically Pac-12 (i.e, the most exciting variety thereof) football, and 2) to ask for some help.
This is a bit of a follow up to a post I made in The Barbershop a few weeks back that didn't get too many responses. (I've likewise been combing the rest of the internet, to no avail). I'm a big Oregon fan, but I recently moved to Chicago. This is a problem a lot of people have, and a surmountable one with the right cable subscription, etc, for those that want to watch their teams play. I'm looking for a way to do it on the cheap, and I'm wondering if anybody out there has any ideas. I'm not really interested in paying an arm and a leg for a cable subscription (which would have to be the most expensive, in order to get the ultra mega deluxe sports package to watch west coast football here in Chicago), since we really don't watch much TV outside of the football I like to watch, and at this point don't even own a television, so that would have to be part of the investment. I have family members who already have these services, so I could use their emails/information to stream games online, HOWEVER I cook for a living, meaning I work every Saturday, and I can't be home to watch.
So, my question are this: does anybody know of a means of saving an online streamed game, that is, a way of setting your computer to stream a game, then recording it so I could watch it later? A sort of software, app, or otherwise? Does anybody out there have a similar problem, and how do you deal with it? I know there IS a solution: get a TV, sign up for Comcast, get TIVO, pay the bill, enjoy the games, cancel at the end of the season, but like I said, I cook for a living, and that's pricey. Any help or advice would be appreciated, gentlemen! Thank you.
