Well, howdy there! You wanna know ’bout watchin’ that there Texas football, huh? It ain’t as hard as milkin’ a cow, that’s for sure. Let me tell ya, it changes all the time, ya know? Like tryin’ to catch a greased pig, this channel thing.
Sometimes, it’s on that ABC. You know, the one with all them fancy shows. Yep, they show the big games sometimes, like when Texas plays them big shots from Georgia, or that other bunch, Texas A&M. Always a big to-do when them fellers play.
But then, other times, it’s on one of them ESPN channels. They got a whole mess of ’em, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3… Lordy, it’s enough to make your head spin. And sometimes, they even got games on somethin’ called ESPN+. Sounds fancy, huh? It’s like payin’ extra for cream in your coffee.
Now, to watch these games, you gotta have somethin’ they call a “provider.” Sounds important, right? Well, it just means you gotta pay someone for cable or somethin’. Folks ‘round here, some got somethin’ called Fubo TV, others got that DirecTV, and some young’uns watch it on that YouTube TV. They all show the same games, mostly, just cost different, I reckon. It’s like pickin’ between a Ford and a Chevy, they both get ya where ya need to go.
- ABC: Big games, like the ones against Georgia or Texas A&M.
- ESPN: Lots of games, sometimes on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, or even ESPN+.
- Providers: You need one to watch, like Fubo TV, DirecTV, or YouTube TV.
Let me give ya some examples, so’s you don’t go missin’ the game and end up lookin’ like a lost calf in high grass.
That big game against Georgia for the SEC Championship, that was on ABC. Started at 3 p.m., they said. Folks were real excited for that one, even had them fellers Joe Tessitore and Jesse Palmer hollerin’ about it on the TV.
And then there was that time they played Kentucky. That one was on ABC too. Always seems the big games end up on ABC, don’t they? It’s like church on Sunday, just happens.
But then there’s games like that one against West Virginia. That was a 6:30 p.m. kickoff, and I think that one was on ESPN, but don’t hold me to it. They start changing them times and channels so much, it’s hard to keep up.
And that game against UL-Monroe? That was a night game, 8 p.m., and I think it was on ESPN too, but could’ve been one of them other ESPNs. See what I mean? It ain’t easy keepin’ track.
So, what channel is Texas football on? Well, it depends! But mostly, it’s gonna be on ABC or one of them ESPN channels. And make sure you got one of them providers like Fubo TV, DirecTV, or YouTube TV so’s you can actually watch it. You gotta pay the piper to hear the tune, as they say.
Now, I ain’t no fancy expert, just tellin’ it like it is. If you wanna know for sure, you gotta look it up. They got these things called “schedules” now, on the internet and all. My grandson showed me. But for an old gal like me, it’s easier to just ask around or wait for the TV to tell me when the game’s on. Just keep your ears open and you’ll figure it out. And if all else fails, just follow the hollerin’! When them Texas boys are playin’, you’ll hear folks cheerin’ clear across the county.
Here’s a little secret: if it’s a really, really big game, like championship-level stuff, chances are it’s gonna be on ABC. They like to put them big games on where everyone can see ‘em. It’s like puttin’ the prize-winning pie on the front porch, ya know?
And don’t forget, them times they give ya are usually “kickoff” times. That means the game starts then. But they always got a bunch of talkin’ heads jabberin’ before the game starts, so you might wanna tune in early if you like that sort of thing. Me? I just wanna see the boys play ball.
So there ya have it. That’s the best I can tell ya about watchin’ Texas football. It ain’t rocket science, but it ain’t always easy neither. Just keep your eyes peeled and your ears open, and you’ll find them Longhorns playin’ somewhere on that TV. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my biscuits. They’re about as important as football, you know.
