Not joking. We have Higgins. Do we have any other healthy tight end?

 

[bac2therac]

It cold and maybe 12k in seats 12 minutes to kick

Monte Keener, a true freshmen.

Peacock airing the band playing the alma mater.
Watching the horse video.

Remember all the times cable subscription games did that??
Me neither....

 

[mildone]

Stadium looks pretty empty.

Stadium looks pretty empty.

I take back everything I said.
Peacock and this pregame upper corner angle are not the most flattering for today's crowd.

The picture quality is pretty great, too.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Pathetic crowd. I'm here where is everyone else

 

[mildone]

Whoa. Ears.

 

[ScarletNYC]

The picture quality is incredible on Peacock.

 

[NickRU714]

I've asked my friend who works at Xfinity why this happens.
It's the same wire coming into the house.

Same when I watch a game on my phone. It looks great.

I don't understand how technology works.

HDR makes a big difference.

I’m here. On my sofa.

With an extremely hungry 100 pound dog apparently seeing if extreme affection will get me to feed him (which it won’t ’cause he was having nasty digestive issues and he’s fasting 24 hours before we feed him some chicken and rice). A muscular 100 LB dog isn’t exactly the most comfy lap dog, I’m finding out.
worry he might start eating my iPad. Or me.

 

[Joey Bags]

Our stadium is way too big. 40-45k would be perfect, we can’t draw anymore even with a winning record.

This is NOT an RU issue too, everyone outside of your ~25 bluebloods is dealing with this. Everyone expanded at the end of the 2000s which in hindsight was probably a bad idea

 

[rutgersguy1]

HDR makes a big difference.

It’s like Netflix if you have the 4K UHD/HDR level vs if you don’t.

 

[RU#1fan]

Stop with the ear numbing piped in noise and the crowds will be bigger.

I have very reliably fast internet, and a very new and good OLED TV. Not all content looks this good.

So I’m thinking it’s the source.

 

[mildone]

HDR makes a big difference.

Definitely part of it.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Great opening series for the D

Not all content is streamed in 4K HDR but some is and maybe they brought the better equipment to the game.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Oh you frigging idiot

 

[jkernpop]

Game changing sadly

 

[Joey Bags]

Lol ****ing hell

 

[RUeric]

Can''t make that mistake in a game like this. Took all the life out of the stadium. With Illinois punting into the wind, you were going to get great field position.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

How do you do something so dumb on the first series

 

[RU-Hunter]

Stupid penalty

 

[KingOfTheEast]

What a dumb ****

 

[FrankZ]

🤦‍♂️

 

[SirPerceval]

Dumbest penalty ever

 

[BossNJ]

BTN needs to buy better equipment

 

[RuSnp]

Looked like lusardi lost his feet. You all are a tough crowd.

 

[ClassOf02]

Defense looks solid…especially against the scripted first Illini drive.

 

[zebnatto]

30 yard field possession difference after roughing penalty.

 

[FrankZ]

Stayed 10 yards away from him that time

 

[RU#1fan]

The guy is a senior. Have to think !

 

[BossNJ]

For a quality picture on top of the line OLED HDR TVs, nothing beats Thursday Night NFL on Prime.

Absolutely sublime

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Kyle hasn't been the same since week 5 or so
