Pay Per View Package

Apologies if this has already been touched on...

I'm thinking about ordering the PPV package so that I can watch the BG games from here in Columbus. I was wondering if anyone has any experience in ordering this package. I do not want to order it if I'm only going to be able to see three games, however if eight or nine out of the eleven games are available I'll most certainly do it. Thanks for your help in advance.

The only games that will show up on that are those that are ESPN plus broadcasts. For all I know right now Oklahoma is the only one that fits that category. The NIU game and the UT game will be on national television (ESPN or ESPN2), and you'll be able to see those either way. Right now I'm sorry to say that I think the only BG game you'd get from that package would be the OU game.

Of course the Marshall game might be picked up by ESPN+ if both teams are having good years. Or any of the other games might be picked up along the way if we're having a good season. However, the OU game is probably the only assurance right now.

That said, you can order those on a per game basis, I'm pretty sure. So you should be able to order JUST the BG-OU game to see that one. You'll get the nationals, already, and you'll have to listen on the radio or drive to see live the rest

Unfortunately, we are just not yet to the point where all our games are televised anywhere for anyone to see.

check with this link:

http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tvlist ... broadcasts

they say to check back for regional coverage maps, which *should* show exactly what areas see what game.

its a good thing its not a 3:30 kickoff, I would hate to be pre-empted for Michigan State-Rutgers!!! At least Michigan-Miami(OH) involves the MAC and has the potential to be a good game!

When will we know what local affiliates are carrying the game?

I have a dish and I believe you call your provider and order the game. I think it costs 14.99 or so. Since I'm in a stadium almost every weekend, that season plan would probably be a waste of $$ for me.
