It depends on the uploading stream and on the host server.
Some servers are able to handle hundreds of outstreams at once; others are not.

yeah, I had to order Fox College Sports Pacific
why would this game be on there???
by golfballs03 on Nov 22, 2009 6:07 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I couldn't pick it up on any of the Fox Sports Net channels
it’s only on FCS on DirecTV as far as I can tell

FCS sucks
I dont think they know how to gear anything towards the markets they play in

Fairly comfortably. I shut off the audio feed when we were up 15 with a minute to play. Summit has cleared the bench.

I'm interested to see how J.P. Prince does
I haven’t gotten to see a UT game yet this season, but his stats have been horrible. The man is a talent, even if not as much as Hopson.

I thought I was going to have to spend $8 bucks again
but the digital sports package was only $3/month. I guess i can cancel after 1 month…

You can see what Pearl means
when he says Tyler Smith’s most natural NBA position might be point guard…he makes some very good passes in transition, even if that one was a little off to Tatum

Did McBee score our last eight points?
I think he did. At any rate, he’s the only Vol who even MADE a three all half. That’s worrisome.

Stats of note
Vols 14 of 33 (42.4%) from the floor, +6 rebounds…leading scorer is McBee

also by the way
are you worried about the Broncos yet?
by Will on Nov 22, 2009 6:59 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
No.
I didn’t expect 6-0 in the first place. To be honest, 6-4 is far better than my initial 2-8ish best-case estimations. I’m not worried in the least if they don’t make the playoffs.
by Hooper on Nov 22, 2009 7:02 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
McDaniels is becoming an interesting case study
on how to handle immediate success followed by immediate disappointment. The Chargers are fickle and I thought they’d be competitive today (I also had Denver’s defense in fantasy today, which hasn’t been a fruitful move on my part)
by Will on Nov 22, 2009 7:05 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I could have told you not to do that,
depending on what your other choice for a defense was. The Chargers are gaining confidence, and Rivers knows how to play against a 3-4.

Damn
The feed went offline. I don’t suppose it will come back before the second half.

So the owner says he’s fixing it.

i wonder how long it will take them to fix it? they are on island time….

There goes the stream again
And here it’s back. And gone. And just skipping like a mad dog.

This is good for UT, actually.
The delay will push the second game later in the evening. If we can get that pushed back an hour or two, it might make them groggy tomorrow.

I still think we're more dynamic overall than last year
McBee’s presence, Goins’ presence, Tatum’s growth help…but if we’re talking about reaching our goals, winning the SEC and making the second weekend in March, yeah, we need Hopson at his best

well, the whole team shot poorly
but it’s key for our team to be able and hit the 3 ball. it opens up the floor for chism and tyler
