And oddly enough perhaps, the games will be taking place about 80 miles apart in Madison and Milwaukee. Had the Phillies won last night, the Cubs game would have been played at 3 pm and likely ended just in time for the Iowa game. But no. Those of us who are fans of two of the teams involved in those games on Saturday are hit with a perfect storm. There's no really good solution, so right now I'm thinking I might watch the Cubs game live and watch Wisconsin-Iowa on Sunday morning. Of course, they'll probably run the football score at the bottom of the screen during the baseball game . . . Same day, same time. Why? :)

Record them both. You can then switch back and forth and not miss anything.
You can try that, but in my experience, it results in a terrible experience in which you can't really enjoy either game. But if it works for you, so be it.

TVs are cheap. Grab another one. You dont wanna split screen these 2 games.

0-2 for Wisconsin that day.

Watch every play of the Hawks. Cubs during commercials and halftime. There is no choice

I've had success doing it on YTTV. For example I'd watch/record a golf tournament and a Fever game. At a minimum I could buzz through the commercials.

However in that case, I wasn't all that passionate about either one so if it got messed up - no worries.

I will probably just watch the Hawks and follow the Cubs on my phone.

I'm watching the Cubs and will watch Iowa later (or the next morning). YouTubeTV subscriber, so both will be recording. NLDS Game 5 takes precedence over a regular season game.

Looks like Iowa starts an hour earlier, so I can at least watch that until the Cubs come on. I can watch the rest of Iowa/Wisc later.

Don’t all of you have three 55” plus flat screens side by side by side to watch whatever you want and listen to any of them as you want? Poors.

Also, Iowa game on peacock so you can’t do a split screen.
