After watching the video feed from wonderful 135th annual #RoseParade from #Pasadena I realize the #RoseBowl broadcast wasn't offered without an #ESPN subscription. So 2 minutes before kickoff I bought an ESPN+ #StreamingApp membership. Then I was told I could still not watch the #telecast game without a verified #cableTV subscription. Then I found a weird #workaround, I found an alternative login to the game through something called #HometownCall #MegaCast on #ESPN3 which uses local #radio announcers and makes me watch the game with one third of the split screen taken up by a live shot of either #SEC champ #CrimsonTide coach #NickSaban or the previously suspended by #NCAA #Big10 #Michigan's cheating coach #Harbaugh pacing the sidelines and yelling into their headsets.
The #Halftime Show is starting with Alabama's 400 member #MillionDollar #MarchingBand ... Oh #SportsBall how you confuse & amuse me...

Kind of disappointed, because it looks like the Scotties Tournament of Hearts (the 🇨🇦 women's national #curling championship) won't be streamed in 🇺🇸 this year, after years of being carried on #ESPN3.

Unless something changes by Friday, it appears the only possibility of watching will be on the web on-demand (i.e., in videos posted after each draw, not live).

It will feel weird not to be watching as much this year. But it's too much effort to avoid spoilers in 2023 for an entire week.
