Back in 1960 I heard Iowa play basketball on the radio. This is 2025 and I’m being forced to do the same.
Why not TV? I’m 86 and don’t know about streaming, don’t get BTN+, Peacock or ESPN+. I would like to stay a Hawkeye fan, but would like to see the games. I’m sure I’m not the only one that is forced to do this.
Please, whoever wants us to spend more money, let’s do BTN, ESPN, WMT, KCRG and KCRG 9.2 as we can’t afford all these new platforms.
