PrintAs reluctant as I am to pay $30+ for any televised event, I must say, I've been sweating bullets about not getting to see the Longhorns' season opener against Arkansas State. Alas, no more, as pay-per-view details on next Saturday's game have beeen released. From MB-TF:
I'm a Dish Network satellite subscriber, which means I'll have the pleasure of shelling out 30 bucks to catch the game. Non-satellite cable subscribers outside Texas and Arkansas, however, will have trouble catching this game.
The Texas press release is quick to note that it's not their fault that the game must be seen on pay-per-view. From the official release:
Of course, I'd be remiss not to note that this game was not selected by anyone for broadcast because we scheduled such a lousy opponent. I'm just sayin...

PPV
Those who don't have Dish should check with their local alumni groups to see if there's a watch site at a local sports bar. I caught the K-State-Nebraska game last year (it was on PPV) at a Houston sports bar because of the local KSU and NU alumni groups.
new yorkers
i'm fairly certain Stout on 33rd street will be showing the game since it is the Texas Exes bar. it's a lousy bar in my opinion, but it's huge and there are a lot of texas fans there, which i guess is good enough, since it's virtually impossible to have a residential satellite dish in new york city.
Amen

Yes sir. It won't get any better next season with Florida Atlantic (only 2 years removed from Div.1-AA).
this is undoubtedly true
but hey, remember that time we scheduled louisiana-lafayette as the home opener and then won the national championship? that was great, huh? i sure enjoyed that.
true
the home opener will never be "a name." Nor should it be. It'll always be an Arkie St or NM St or Idaho.
Game 2 on the other hand...

Dish Network?
I am in Dallas and have Dish Network, how did you get that information? I called 3 separate times and no one could give an intelligent answer. Do you know which channel it will be or what I need to explain to them. Thanks
verizon fios
Does anyone know whether the game is offered on Verizon Fios On Demand/PPV?
There might be a webcast on......
TexasSports.TV http://www.texassports.com/index.php...
It's vauge as to if this will be live or delayed. It says if the game is on cable or regular TV then the game is delayed. No mention of Pay-Per-View. I have an email out right now.
Being in Okie hell, it might be tough to see the game since I have cable.
Saturday's Opening Game
Does anyone know if Suddenlink Communications will be offering this game on Paper View?

Where are you located?
If you're in Texas or Arkansas, it should be available.
If you're outside the area, you'd need to find someone with a satellite dish.
Located in Leander
I'm in Leander, which is right outside of Austin.
