ILLINOIS vs. PITT on Sunday


Recommended Posts

This is a bit of a bait and switch.

I will get to the dual in a bit, but right now, I need to put to use the combined brainpower of this board to solve a problem. The dual is at Pitt, and it will be streamed by something called ACCNX, which I gather is short for ACC Network Extra. In effect, it is a sub-sub-sub-specialty service of ESPN. That's like a porn channel that not only specializes in Latinas, but chubby Latinas, and not just chubby Latinas, but chubby Latinas with beautiful feet who perform Japanese anime cos-play, and if you know anybody like that, please DM me. 

The problem is that I don't have cable or a streaming service. I would like to buy a month of ACCNX, but that doesn't appear to be available. My plan is to get a free trial of something like YouTubeTV and use my password for that service to access the match. (You need to have a subscription to some cable or streaming provider that shows the ACC Network). 

Does that sound like a feasible plan? 

THE DUAL

Our good friends at Wrestlestat.com have this as a 26-6 whomping of the ILLINI. Moreover, it has Dayton Pitzer scoring a major decision over Luke Luffman. Me no gusto. I think it will be much closer, and, in fact, could come down to those very same heavyweights. In their last dual, the ILLINI were predicted to lose by a similar score to UNC.

Instead, it was a 20-13 win for the good guys. 

I have the ILLINI favored at 125, 133, 149, 157, 174 and 285. Some of those are slight favorites. The marquee matchup will be the one at heavyweight, but Kannon Webster versus Finn Solomon at 149, Edmond Ruth matched up with Luca Augustine at 174, and Dylan Connell versus Reece Heller at 184 should be very good. 

My complete preview is here, but beware, my friends, as I bad-mouth Pitt and there is a Wrestle: The Gathering theme.

So flying in tonight or Saturday?   If you play your card correctly you can get ACCX thru ESPN+.

This is the problem, ionel:

You are not able to subscribe to ACCN/ ACCNX directly or via ESPN+. Your pay TV provider needs to have an agreement in place to carry ACCN; be sure to sign up for their specific package that includes ACCN. Visit GetACCN.com to find a provider in your area. ACCN and ACCNX can be streamed in the ESPN App.

 

But what if I play the YouTube or Fubu card? I guess that I need to make sure that my free trial of any of those includes the stupid ACC Network. Geez. I think that I'll just play the Feast of a Thousand Chickens card:

Well ... you said you'd "get to the dual in a bit."  Since you will be there in person it really won't matter but I'll be using my magic Poeeta card to watch on Espn+.  🙂

WARNING: If you go to the ESPN schedule for "all networks," then click on "upcoming" and then "December 3," it indicates that ESPN+ will be showing two duals but not the ILLINI/Pitt dual. That is covered by ACCNX. If you then go back to the top of the page and click "ESPN+" the ILLINI dual doesn't show up. 

Perhaps a Ruthless card:

But are you sure? 

Under that ILLINI/Pitt image in your post is the dreaded ACCNX. I've seen other warnings on the internet that some ACCNX content is not provided on ESPN+. Some is. This? 

I want to believe.

I've watched ACC before on Espn+.  You have to have the correct TV provider (I have Hulu & the Diseny/ESPN package) or the magic PoEEta card, just be sure you haven't used up your 3 wishes.

Heller down to start the second.  Wrestlers OB and restarting.  Heller out for one.  Ernd in on a leg but Heller collapses on him and ref calls a stalemate.   Ernd in again but now he's flat.  Stalemate again.  But Ernd putting some deposits in the no stall bank account. 4-1
