Nice to read. This is a plum for the picking. A great opportunity for a signature win against an acc team though bad they seem to be.
Funny this article is in dukebasketballreport.
Yeah - the basketball report telling the football fans to watch out for McAllister because heās a homerun hitter had me chuckling.
If they want Duke fans to read an articleā¦they have to put it in a basketball forum.

So, what might be the biggest game for our program yet is all but unavailable in-market.
Is there any reason we shouldnāt kick up a storm over this?

Despite what is said on this board, 90% of the people I know have FSS with either cable or satellite.

This is something that should be complained about to our AD, but I have a strong suspicion they are already aware of this unfortunate scenario for viewing the game this weekend.
Also, this is 100% on Duke, as I understand it. As an OOC buy-game for the Niners, the viewing rights for this game are entirely in Dukeās court.
Edited to Add: itās been pointed out this isnāt a buy game, itās part 1 of a H&H
So , in addition to getting a valuable W, how much are we being paid for this game?
Lots of ACC games are on Fox Sports Carolinas or Southeast or whatever it is. The UNC game earlier this season was supposed to be on that station. Itās not like this is CUSA TV or Flosports or some other Mickey Mouse station that no one has. Itās where the Hornets, Braves & Hurricanes games are televised. It sucks that everyone doesnāt have it but itās not like itās on Al Jazeera or something crazy like that.

Pretty sure this isnāt a buy game.
We signed a home and home with Duke and this is the away game of that series.
Pretty sure the return game is next year.

I did some digging, and I believe Iāve found a free option to watch the game. AT&T TV Now does have Fox Sports South as a part of their Max package, and there is a free 7 day trial. I signed up, and it says I wonāt be charged until Nov 2, and can cancel before then. And it does have our game listed in the channel guide.
EDIT:
I see now that it says āMASNā at the channel, so maybe not.

Second edit. The channel guide DOES have Fox Sports South, and the guide DOES list our game. Soā¦ maybe an option?

I may give that a shot SF4Nynah. Thanks for the advice.
I read an article that MASN did strike a deal with ACC RN broadcasts a few weeks back. I donāt get MASN so didnāt think much of it at the time.
Yup cant wait to get our first ACC team in our stadium next season.
Reading over that article, looks like the biggest struggle we will have is their pressure on the QB. I could see Dom getting more snaps this game because of his mobility. With their starting safety out the first half, we need to jump on the Reynolds to Tucker deep ball to test them.
On the flip side, their QB throws to opposing teams often, so we could use a turnover or two. Iām just afraid we might not get enough pressure on him to get him to make those mistakes.
I really want to beat these guys, and it will take a near perfect game, but I think we can pull it off.

If we can get pressure with 4 weāre in business, if we canāt weāre in trouble. I think weāll be able to put some points on the board.
Sounds like both parties want to work out a deal. Unfortunately it wonāt help anyone for this game.
