What is dumb about pulling these old videos is that these old videos help maintain the fan base. Making football addicts go cold turkey is a good way to break them of the addiction. Dumb move by some management type somewhere who thinks $5 can be made in a subscription for the old videos. Some percentage of the addicts will pay for it, others will find something else to do rather than pay for yet another subscription. Network management is killing the product long term.

I’ve got a torrent set up. Let me know if you want in. I’m using RetroShare. I don’t know if this works with other torrent programs. Drop a line and My collection is at your disposal. If you do join, please share with others in the circle to minimize my bandwidth consumption. Some things to be aware of:
- As of now, it’s about 3 TB.
- I don’t always have mp4s. A good chunk of the recent games are archive quality 1080p 5.1 Dolby audio *.mkv (Metroska) recordings. They will work with Plex or Handbrake. These are large files due to the size and quality. (This is the part that losing YouTube will suck as the files aren’t scaled to the device...)
- There are radio overlays of a few of the games. COFH 85, 99, 14, 16, FSU 15, OB 14, ACCCG 14. Not all of these were published to YouTube as These got hit for takedown almost immediately upon upload.
- I’ve also got some mp4s of radio games going back to the ‘50s.

I am glad to send usb hard drives at cost to anyone that would want one, or you can queue for the one that I have to share. If anyone prefers a different torrent means, please let me know.

Here is a question: Was this caused by those knuckleheads doing those "reaction videos?"

GO JACKETS!!

Judging from the ACCN putting the 2019 spring game up on Facebook, I guess it was because the Mouse was planning this ahead of time.

Well crap -- you beat me to it. Send me a PM with an updated RetroShare code, I'll reply back with one for me.
