Is The Game On TV?

[RedWave]

I am not even sure what time the game starts today, but I can not find it in the TV listings anywhere here in La. Is it on in Bama?

The game will not be on TV. It is part of ESPN's gameplan (sorry, I do not have a link for that)!

Only on pay per view.

yeah, the DirectTV people are, yet again, sending mixed messages about who gets the game and who doesn't.

on one of the channels, it says that the game is only available in Bama and miss. Then on the channel that shows the maps of the US with coverage areas highlighted in gold, it shows that Bama and miss are the only two states where the game ISN'T included in the GamePlan package.

i hate direcTV because of GamePlan. it's such a tease.

basically, if you live in ATL, you won't know whether you're getting the game or not until kickoff due to the fact that many of the BAMA games are blacked out in the ATL region on the maps they show.

but SOMETIMES... yes, SOMETIMES you'll get the game anyway. i.e. Western Carolina. we went to Smith's thinking it would be blacked out like it usually is. then Smith's never could get the game to pull up on their dish system so, disheartened, we got in the car and went home during the 2nd quarter. upon arrival at home, i flip on the station just to check and THERE WE ARE!!!

thanks again, DirecTV for helping me to risk a DUI.

Game is blacked out in AL & MS. We're heading to Spectators here in Jeff City, MO, to watch the game (and down a few cold ones!). We'll have the only Bama table in the place, but it will be loud.
