One stop shop? We had games on 3 different Fox networks (Fox, FS1, FS2) last year, plus CBS, CBS Sports Network, and ESPN2 (oh, and TNT and TBS in the tournament). Add Flo Sports for Bahamas exhibition games. That's 9 different "stops" last year. While I did not take channel surfing at Creighton, I have subsequently managed to find my Bluejays if the game is broadcast which, these days, is all of them. Cheers.


If you’re including non-conference games, sure… but those have nothing to do with this contract. Every conference game currently, all you have to do is open the fox sports app and it’s there.

Plus with this new contract, to your last point, every game will no longer be broadcast. Games are going to be shoved on peacock.

I do watch the non-conference games, too. So my point, which I believe you understand but are just being contrary, is the Bluejays were on 9 different places. If they are on 20 different places, I'll find them and watch. It's WAY more important to me that I can watch them (since i don't live in Omaha) than it is how I watch them. Creighton puts the schedule on the interweb and tells me where the game is broadcast. It's really not that hard.

Regarding Peacock, you know what else is on Peacock? Big Ten Basketball. Sunday Night football will be on Peacock in addition to NBC. Yellowstone (not sports but watched it all). I managed to find NFL football that was "shoved" to streaming on Amazon. This old fart is gonna be just fine.

Now let me get back to watching the US Open...drum roll...on Peacock. Cheers.

Any word on if we are even going to fill that last scholarship spot? Or do we think Mac's giving it to one of the Walk-ons?

At Creighton Bob Gibson majored in sociology and starred in Basketball and Baseball. In 1957 Gibson received a $3,000 sign-on bonus with St. Louis Cardinals, but delayed his HOF Cards career a year to play pro B-ball with the Harlem Globetrotters.

TBT time.

We obviously don't have a team, which is too bad. I think there is a helluva squad to be made with our former guys. Especially since our Cs can shoot (Patton, Martin...) imagine those guys with Tyshon, Taz, maybe Z, Jefferson, Hawk, O'Connell...

Anyway. Bummer.

Do we have any former Jays playing?

Damn, Mason Miller broke his leg... some playing time just opened up at the 4. Hope the best for mason's recovery but have to think that's going to take a ways into the winter to get back to full strength.
