Which streaming service for football?

Last week, I discussed my though process in determining which streaming service to use for watching college football. As it turns out, I didn't watch games last weekend -- life interfered -- so I didn't subscribe.

There were games last night (I didn't watch any) and games tonight (I don't plan to watch; other stuff going on), but tomorrow, I do plan to watch some football. My primary game of interest is on ABC, and I get that over the air (actually, through AirTV and the Sling TV app).

I may watch a game later in the day on one of the ESPN channels, and that will be the driving factor regarding when I actually start my subscription. If I watch the 4:00 PM game on ESPNU, then I'll subscribe to the service that will take me through the college football season. And that service will be Sling TV.

I'm planning on starting with Sling Orange with Sports Extra. That'll get me ESPN along with SEC Network and such. The cost will be $51. Initially, I won't need any of the Blue package to get what I want. If that does happen, I'll upgrade when necessary, and that'll bring the total to $70. That's still $3 cheaper than YouTube TV. As I have an antenna, this makes the cheaper service a viable option for me.

Of course, if Saturday's plans wind up with me being somewhere else that afternoon -- plans change all the time; not mine, but those that impact me -- then I will miss the 4:00 PM game and skip subscribing, at least for the day. I'll re-examine the situation when the time comes, but the plan is to use Sling TV again this year as my go-to for college football games.

My Streaming Life seems to revolve around college football during the fall. I'm good with that.
