IT'S WAKE FOREST.... 2017

[ASUPATCH]

I run ESPN3 thru my HDMI cable - I don't have the clarity as if watching regular ESPN - it's fine but if anyone has any suggestions let me know ---

Might need a stronger graphics card on your computer.

thanks - is that something I can download for free? ---

Without knowing your exact situation laptop/desktop/mac it is more than likely a hardware issue. As in need a new piece put in that puppy.

[App91]

I stream ESPN3 through my phone or tablet and send it to my 55" flatscreen via Chromecast. I had people over to watch some games this weekend and they couldn't tell the difference between ESPN3 and the regular ESPN channels I get with Direct TV.

Moody, can you explain exactly how to do this, I am pretty tech challenged, but just got a tab.

[App91]

Now, of course, I don't agree with my buddy 91 when it comes to the coaches, but I do understand what he is saying about WF - Yes everyone, including 91 and myself, is happy to have the home and home with WF but he is also correct that WF is at the absolute bottom of the P5 teams - THOSE ARE 2 SEPERATE ISSUES - 1. WF is coming to The Rock - GREAT!!! - 2. WF is a bad football team - WELL???

I think we all got his point, we just didn't get his need to poo poo the game in the thread.

I didn't poo-poo anything, you just took it that way. Now, to be sure I was not nearly as eloquent as Dub.
My apologies for your misunderstanding

Download the watch ESPN app to your tablet and then connect the chromecast to a USB port on your TV.

I just bought one of these (refurbished) through Groupon for $25. Money well spent as I watched some of the games on last weekend and all came in with solid HD clarity. Of course, a lot depends on the speed of our internet connection and whatever else you are running at the same time while watching a game.

You could also buy an Apple TV (if you have apple products) for somewhere around $100 as an alternative.

Would this work for netflix or Hulu?

[TheMoody1]

Yep.

[clemmonsapp]

For those of you using Chromecast - I have used this for Netflix and YouTube, but it is not working for ESPN3. When I cast the ESPN3 games I go to the website and it casts to my television. When I click on our game, it jumps to another window which does not show on the television. Do I need to upgrade or do I have to hardwire my computer rather than cast the game?

[appvette]

Try starting the game first and then casting it.

For those of you talking about $40 proprietary cables, I would much rather buy a $30 roku or chrome cast.

[TheMoody1]

Copy the game link when it jumps to the other window. Then open up a new window and paste the link. FYI- chromecast works much better when going through a phone or tablet.

Use the watch espn app on a phone and cast it and it will work.

Just so some of you non-FBS'ers can gain a little perspective. As a student I have not had a cent increase in student fees since the move was announced, so strike that off the list. Also as a student I can tell you other students actually talk about the program with enthusiasm now as if we are at UNC or ECU or NCSU and a lot of that had to do with not playing the furmans and samfords of the world. And this whole TV thing is ridiculous, I can watch every game now and it's actually respectable programming, which I couldn't say about PBS or any of the sites we had to stream off previously. The move is a definite win, it's embarrassing that all don't feel the same

[Yosef10]

Also wanted to add a piece I left out and wanted to clarify what I meant by "talking with enthusiasm like ECU, etc". I meant in aspects of teams news (such as who's gonna start this week, who should be starting this week, how bright the future is, etc) and recruiting updates. Again I'm just speaking from experiences around town, in classes, out at bars but in the SoCon you would never hear any talk about the team (again, from my experiences out at night and around town) except on gameday basically. Now, my friends and I sit around regularly talking about the program, who we want on the recruiting trail, scheduling, etc. and then when we go out at night or when I'm sitting in class and you now actually hear kids talking about the squad instead of just where we're tailgating Saturday. My point being that this move has brought needed energy to the students on campus and should bring a rejuvenated energy to the alumni and other supporters as well. I know there's no talking the pro-fcs people into it but I just really don't see any "benefits" they talk about. Anyway, I'm happy the direction the program is going, it's going to be a bright future and I'm looking forward to it. Rant over. Go Neers

Thanks for giving us a little insight to the current mood on campus. It's good to hear students are embracing the move!

Yosef10, thank you for sharing your and your friends thoughts on the move. This is going to take time but I guarantee you that in 5 years the small time mindset will be a thing of the past and those hanging on to the nostalgia of the SmallCon will either see the light or get off the bus. I can't for the life of me understand why we would not want our premiere athletic program competing at the highest level.

Yeah I don't understand why we would subject ourselves to obscurity and mediocrity but apparently some people are ok at being an 8-4 team while playing mediocre AT BEST (in the grand scheme of things - bad) teams but that's their problem. And I just wanted to emphasize it's not just me and my friends - it's a campus wide thing. Another thing, I understand there are problems with the students leaving early but that will fix it self once winning continues.

Except for last year's 4-8 season.

Was not referring to our level of performance.

I'm glad to read your perspective on this and I am glad the students are excited but I am not sure you have the background to say it is embarrassing for anyone not to feel the same as you --- If you were at the 3 National Championship Games in Chattanooga then you saw the total joy and pride the students and fans showed, or if you were at Michigan, or if you were at the Furman semi-final game on the way to the first Championship and saw the goal posts carried around town, the students jumping into Duck Pond, etc., Many people remember those days with smiles on their faces --- Yes, it was time to move on and personally I am glad we have, but I'm not sure I remember anyone saying in the last couple of years that he/she would really miss the SoCon - the SoCon as we all remember it is gone - BUT, many like myself have made the point that we will miss the Playoffs and the chance to win National Championships --- Should we go back? - Hell NO, - Should we move forward with all we have? - Absolutely --- Those of us who have been around awhile and have experienced years and years of LIFE are just not as quick to cut loose the past and totally embrace the future - As with the football team, some fans will need some time to make the transition ---
