Are there any Texas games we’d miss if this is all we subscribed to?

I know this is a stupid question, but does this mean I have to shell out $40 to watch espn once this starts?

Not if you get it somewhere else, like youtubetv or something. Only if you don't have it and want espn only, this is a way to subscribe directly w/ ESPN is my understanding...

I catch the game on the boat  on Texas radio …. Craig Way is the freaking best…. Try to get the renegade youtube channels … doesnt always work out

next day …. I get to watch w pleasure all the highlights… or entire game if we Won 

if we lose….i rarely wanna seee anything .. dont go visit OTF…or wanna watch no highlights… i brood for a couple of weeks…. Is what it is til we Win again

I’d love this if I could get all the games without having to have YouTube TV. I’d rather not spend $90 on something I only have to watch Texas football on.
