For some reason the UH broadcast isn’t available through the app again and only through CBS all-access which requires a subscription. 3rd of the last 4 games that’s been the case.
Got the game on the WatchESPN app. Crowd not too great. I presume the football recruits aren’t there or maybe they stop by. If I was a recruit, I’d rather by out on the town rather than watching a game vs. Temple.
