Peacock sucks.......

I think using Peacock for a Big Ten game is a cheap shot to the fans. And is likely a cost cutting measure. When you can't pause the stream, cannot record it, and are stuck with the schedule, it is like going back to the very olden days when the Hawks were on local channels, no DVR or at least few had them, and we were a happy captive audience. I admit to rarely watching the games live, I wait at least half an hour and then skip all the commercial breaks, time outs, review of contested calls, etc. etc. And sometimes I record them to watch another day, unless of course the Hawks get blown out, in which case I just delete them.

If you have YouTube, you can. Peacock is the NBC Sports Network on their guide.

"I think using Peacock for a Big Ten game is a cheap shot to the fans." I thought the exact same thing. Luckily for me my son paid for a year's worth of Pisscock at the beginning of the football season and so I was able to catch the game.

That was a fun game to watch especially when they got within four points of our Hawkeyes.
