Up here in north Ga, they are running commercials for our game on Fox South HD. However, my guide says Fox South HD will be showing the Braves game at that time. I will just have to wait and see what I get. I'm going to start the day by going to the Ga. Tech-JSU game. My son is a freshman at JSU and in the band so we are going to watch him perform at half-time. If the game is the blowout I expect, we will leave just after halftime and head home to watch football until the wee hours of the morning.

First, thanks for the info on the game in your area. I'm sure a lot of Gators not in Florida are wondering where they can view the game. If any one else has some info on TV coverage please share it.

And good luck to your son in his Freshman year! :wave:

[BoHerrington]

I am in Orlando and have Brighthouse. I looked two days ago and it just said that it was on Sun channel 31 not the HD channel 1000. Is it in HD now?

Saturday cant come soon enough...

[ThePlayer]

Panama, if I actually get to see a live broadcast on SunSports (DirecTV-653),
and in HD no less, I really think I might just faint from disbelief.

BTW, this is the 1st time I've ever seen: "ARE YOU SERIOUS" as a point-spread.

I feel the same way..I know it says I'm getting the game on SUN ( I'm in NJ))..I'll believe it when I see it.

[alphaOmegator]

I live in Fort Myers. I beleive the game will be televised on Channel 6. Please correct me if anyone knows otherwise.

GO GATORS!!

[DickBlick]

Is there any reason for out of state Gator fans to get ESPN Gameplan this year? I figured this game would be on it.

[Q3Gator]

Will this game be replayed? Sucks, but I have to go to a family wedding that evening.

[gymgator]

Any help for WPB area Gators? I will be at the game, but family would like to see it in HD, which is cable channel 401, but it is only shown on channel 35, the non HD Sun Sports channel.

[panamacitygator]

Check your cable box channel guide. The only info I have is for ATand T Uverse in WPB. Who is your service provider?

[romeg8r]

I laid the law down a few years ago. I don't do weddings between August 31th and January 7th. Unless it turns out to be my son and he knows better then to schedule his wedding to conflict with a Gator game.

[panamacitygator]

Will this game be replayed? Sucks, but I have to go to a family wedding that evening.
Yes it will be broadcast on Sun Sports Sunday morning at 8:30 am and Tuesday at 11:00 pm each week.

[panamacitygator]

I laid the law down a few years ago. I don't do weddings between August 31th and January 7th. Unless it turns out to be my son and he knows better then to schedule his wedding to conflict with a Gator game.True dat. NO weddings, no anything except Gator football!

[UFSECKINGS]

Official Game Thread, woohoo.

[Gatorryder]

I am in Orlando and have Brighthouse. I looked two days ago and it just said that it was on Sun channel 31 not the HD channel 1000. Is it in HD now?

Saturday cant come soon enough...

I'm in Ocala and have the Brighthouse feed from Orlando. I'm sure that it will be in HD on 1000. The problem is there is never a prelisting for 1000, which I can't understand why they can't have one.

After looking maybe it won't have it in HD, as the Rays game is listed on HD and since FSN/Sunsports share 1000, one game won't be in HD.

[Gatorryder]

Well, I continued seaching and found the 1000 HD schedule and it appears that the Rays TV schedule on their site for Sept 5th was wrong and the football game will be shown on 1000 HD from Orlando feed. Although, it does say subject to change without notice.

[dogtown1234]

Is there any way to watch online?

[RayGator]

Will this game be replayed? Sucks, but I have to go to a family wedding that evening.

Now PLEASE understand everyone because I am just trying to be helpful and polite here:

If you would just take 30 SECONDS to check & read the opening, that means very the first, opening post in these Gator game threads, ALL this info plus much, much, much more will be posted there!!!!!

Thanks and GO GATORS ! :wave:

I second what Ray says, read the thread before firing off posts that have already been answered.

[RayGator]

Noticed watching the Thursday nights games on ESPN that on the crawl at the bottom of the screen it had www.ESPN360.com for the Gators vs. Bucs game. Just another option for those that can't go to The Swamp on Saturday. :)

[TravelingGator]

As a side note, as I was leaving the dentist yesterday by CSU, they were trying to imitate the ambiance of the Swamp on game day. They were missing orange and a lot Gator folks screaming.

[Pantanoso]

Panama City Beach Knology Sun Channel 22 6 P.M. Central Time

[romeg8r]

Just a heads up for those of you with Comcast in north Ga. If you have seen commercials for our game during Braves games on Fox Sport South HD. The guide on Comcast says that the HD channel will be showing the Braves game and not the Gator game. Now, it may turn out that our game actually is on. But, for those without HD, the Braves game is on the Sports South channel and not the Fox Sports South channel. Which means in Rome the Braves are on channel 74 and not channel 36. For some reason channel 36 always shows "to be announced" on the guide. My guess is that if you turned to Fox Sports South HD and find the Braves game, you will probably find the Gator game on the standard-def version of Fox Sports South even though it won't show up on your guide or on a search. I hope all that isn't as confusing as it seemed when I was typing it. And I have no concrete evidence of this, it is just my guess.

[drtampa]

In Tampa, my Fios schedule for 7PM Saturday on 576 Sun Sports HD says "Next scheduled game September 6, at 1:30PM". Anyone have the scoop?

[NWGATOR]

Anyone know what channel on Sirius/XM it will be on??

[panamacitygator]

Anyone know what channel on Sirius/XM it will be on??

Sirius 215 and XM 199

[NWGATOR]

Sirius 215 and XM 199

Thanks!

[Gatorbob76]

In the kansas city area, the game is being broadcast on Fox Sports Net HD. Sweet!

[AFGator]

I'm in northern Oklahoma and have Dish Network.

The game is on HDALT channel 9519...might be the Fox Sports Net HD channel.

Yes, my DVR is set.

Go Gators!!

[rsxgator22]

Do Not GET ESPN GAMEPLAN for Florida Football Games in Miami. I have Directv and I learned my lesson two seasons ago. Florida Football is covered by SUN Networks and they usually make you pay a Pay per view to see these games. I think its 45 dollars might be mistaken. Dont buy the Gameplan because the channels they indicate that will show the game will be in black. I'll be in shock if channel 653 actually shows the game. Im searching for their pay per view channel.

[GatorGuyDallas]

For Dallas area Gators it is on Fox Sports Southwest regular and HD channels.

[sotampagator]

Funny, when you look on the FIOS listings here in Tampa, it doesn't show the game being on 576 in HD, only in low def 76. Major bummer.

[BuddyShow]

PanamaCityGator, you are a great member and your information is awesome. Thanks for the posts! I hereby elect you our official TV Guru every Friday. Send me a PM and I will mail you a little token of my appreciation. -- Buddy Martin

[Nawlens Gator]

In Louisiana, on the northshore, Charter Cable shows Phillies vs Houston (MLB) on Fox Sports southwest (Ch 36) starting at 6 central. Fox Sports SWest is out of Houston.

Also shows UF at 6 on ESPN gameplan.

There's a slim chance it will be on Ch 36 and the gameplan game will be blacked out.

Also I don't see the Bama game listed at all.

[sotampagator]

I got en email from sun saying it would be on 576 in hd in Tampa.

[Wuerffel5220]

I'm really worried that they don't cut away from USC-San Jose St. I'm in Florida. Should I be worried?

[tampagtr]

Almost timr

[haddon]

marsh not dressed out

[BitterGreg]

where can i see the game online?

[alreegator]

Efficiency.

[ThePlayer]

DOMINANCE!!!!

Well, now that was easy.
Defense was a little shakey, but I'll take it.

[FLfan]

ESPN 360

espn.com

[Rumbin]

That grab will pad Coops stats til Mid November

[ThePlayer]

Did that announcer just call us Georgia?

Kill him now.

[rajinGator]

In a little bit of a surprise Johnson and Wilson start at LT and LG.

Did Will Hill really start over Black?

[alreegator]

I love it that the DBs are wearing their jerseys as Oliver and the boys used to.

[BitterGreg]

so what if i dont have an internet provider and cant get espn 360 to work, any tips or anywhere else to watch it?

[haddon]

where can i see the game online?

try p2p4u.net

[GatorNorth]

Defense not really in rhythm yet.need some 3 and outs although the reps are good for the young guys

Let's see if we can score in 3 plays this time.

[G8RCB]

commentator is horrible...Ryan Stamper is the leader on D (Spikes)...Offense talking to Strong (K Carter)...we are Georgia

[GermanyisGatorcountry]

link to watch here. first you need to download streamtorrent. see the website for further info. http://www.myp2pforum.eu/ncaa/42350-ncaa-football-week-1-streaming.html

[ThePlayer]

Shame on you, Deonte.
Hold onto that dang ball, my man!!!

[alreegator]

DT! C'mon!

[ThePlayer]

Geezzzz.
That was a horrible series.

[GatorNorth]

Terrence Sanders
2 play drive.

Dave Archer is just dumb

Defensive backfield is a step slow. PI on Wondy.

[ThePlayer]

Why is Wondy even on the field this early?

[alreegator]

Defense isn't sharp.

[Shade45]

Why is Wondy even on the field this early?

Jenkins out.

[rajinGator]

Just saw Antwine in the game. Awesome.

[rajinGator]

We're going to rack up A LOT yards on the ground today.

[ThePlayer]

Thank you Rainey.
Of course, it looked like you needed some oxygen half way to the goal.

[alreegator]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The Rainman is our best back! I love 'em all, but Rainey is the best IMO.

[urgatorbaitII]

nice block by Cooper to help spring him

[alreegator]

Gillislee is a beast on kickoffs!

[ThePlayer]

Jenkins out.

Oh, forgot.
Thank you Shade.

[gatorskater]

even with some starters out our D can do better. Not sharp.

[alreegator]

Wow, Bostic is playing in the 1st qtr!

[GatorNorth]

Run D looks fine, pass D looks a little shaky.

[tampagtr]

CSU QB impressive

[G8RCB]

nice run by Demps

[ThePlayer]

I know the poor guy nearly had his neck broken just now,
but after 3 returns, Brandon James looks a little off his game.

[GatorNorth]

2 dropped TD passes.

[ThePlayer]

Touchdown Jesus.......I mean Tebow.

[haddon]

tebow won't win heisman if the dang receivers keep dropping balls.

nevermind, he'll just run it in himself

[alreegator]

Seems as if the D is waking up.

[urgatorbaitII]

CSU QB is very smart with his decision making

[austink34471]

Score?

[FLfan]

21-0

[GatorNorth]

Rainey had another big run there. Damn flags

Cooper is a great blocker

[NothingRemains10]

TD Demps! WOW

[urgatorbaitII]

Damn, Demps is fast!!!!

[alreegator]

Man! I blinked.

[rajinGator]

Our O line is utterly manhandling this team.

[NothingRemains10]

They sure are picking on Haden a lot...

[FLfan]

milestone post there, Rajin!

[alreegator]

Take that you Wright-bashers!

[NothingRemains10]

WOW, I had Major Wright flashbacks there and thought the guy was about to get killed!

[GatorNorth]

Haden bailed out by Major there.

[NothingRemains10]

Wow Riley barfing on TV

[urgatorbaitII]

Did Coop just puke coming off of the field?

[NothingRemains10]

Sure did..

I would like to see Deonte get in on some of the action...

[NothingRemains10]

Come on Carl, please be ok...

[89g8rgirl]

I hope Deonte has a chance to redeem himself for that dropped pass. He's a blazer!

Hernandez is a beast!!!

[ThePlayer]

AH for the great TD.
Love it.

[alreegator]

FYI:7-7 BYU and Okra.

[NothingRemains10]

Come on Deonte!

Hope we get to see some of Frankie Hammond also

[NothingRemains10]

Tide 3 VT 0

[alreegator]

FYI: 3-0 Bama

[Rumbin]

Hern is DIRTY

His sleeves are equally awesome

[gatorjlm]

Their QB looks better to me than Garcia at USCe

[ThePlayer]

That was 2 kinds of bad coverage.
First by Sun/Fox and then by our DB's.

Please don't give up a score to these guys...

[NothingRemains10]

Did Bostic start at OLB?

[NothingRemains10]

Bradford is down for the count

Looks like he tore his shoulder up

[alreegator]

Jelani got worked on that play.

[gatorskater]

are we playing twos on D? why are we getting worked?

[NothingRemains10]

Brandon got his TD return!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NothingRemains10]

86 yards on the kickoff!!!!!

[BitterGreg]

Congrats b james!!!

[alreegator]

Okra 10 BYU 7 HALFTIME

[ThePlayer]

OK, Brandon just redeemed himself.

GO GATORS!!!!!!

[89g8rgirl]

Bummed that we didn't get a shut out! We need better open field tackling.

Sweet return by James:)!

[haddon]

dang it, brandon. you're taking away from our offensive stats.

[alreegator]

BJ! BJ! BJ!

[BitterGreg]

#15 for AL just made an amazing catch

[ThePlayer]

WOW, 1st time since 1999?

That really was a long, sad drought for our special teams.
Hey, wasn't the Zooker a special teams coach once upon a time?

[gatorjack]

score and time left please.

[alreegator]

Look at all of the young'uns out there on defense!

[haddon]

42-3, 3 min

[haddon]

let's go johnny!!!

[BitterGreg]

JB already

[NothingRemains10]

Insert Brantley :) and :(

[alreegator]

42-3 3:06 2nd

[89g8rgirl]

Bradford is down for the count

Looks like he tore his shoulder up

What happened?!?

[NothingRemains10]

7-6 VT 98 yard kickoff return

[NothingRemains10]

What happened?!?

Got sacked and all his and the defenders weight landed on his shoulder similar to Brady the other day

[alreegator]

A lot of young'uns out there on offense as well.

[NothingRemains10]

Please giver Tim another series in the second half

[NothingRemains10]

Come on D! :)

[BitterGreg]

Take Wondy out now

[ThePlayer]

What is going on with our backup DB's?
Geezzzzz.

[GatorNorth]

Wondy has not improved much in his 3 years.

[alreegator]

The reserves have to tighten up!

[ThePlayer]

Thank goodness these Bucs remind me of those other Buccaneers.
(the ones from the 70's, that is)

[NothingRemains10]

VT fumbles a punt return inside their 15 and Bama recovers

[alreegator]

VT muffed punt, Bama recovers at 16!

[G8RBob]

Where is our defensive line's pressure on the qb?

[alreegator]

Bama's offense sucks!

[NothingRemains10]

It looks to me the defense is going as plain as can be against CSU..Since they run a spread, maybe they view it as being a bad idea to show how to stop it ;)

[G8RBob]

Looks to me like our guys on the dl are just getting blocked.

[NothingRemains10]

Bradford has a sprain on the AC joint in his shoulder but the x-rays are negative..expected to miss a few weeks

[alreegator]

Where is our defensive line's pressure on the qb? Very vanilla scheme being run with lots of reserves playing as early as the first quarter.

[NothingRemains10]

WOW..Bradford looks to be in a TON of pain still..

[alreegator]

<!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> Looks to me like our guys on the dl are just getting blocked.
If you had the answer, why ask the question?

[DarthGatorOne]

Wondy has not improved much in his 3 years.

Amen! Wondy is a double threat........to the Gators. He can't cover and can't tackle in the open field. Arrrrrrrgh!

[alreegator]

Okra is going down.

[iceman44]

Great first game for a #1 team. Dominant but with things to work on offensively in the pssing game, for us. We haven' shown anything on D, s.
o that is no major concern. nor has Jenkins played.

Honestly. Ho hum. Nothing to see here. Let's skip forward two weeks. plwase.

[NothingRemains10]

Love the new UF commercial!

[NothingRemains10]

Wow welcome TJ Lawrence!

[NothingRemains10]

is it just me, or are these jerseys different then the usuals

[alreegator]

I'm happy for J-Dub!

[CaloosaGator]

Our spring games are better than this. It's crime that anyone should have to pay admission for this. Almost every yr 3 of our home games are pure garbage and thats not counting the yrs we have a lousy Vandy,Tucky or nole team coming here.

[Visirale]

Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooody.

Looks like He'll be getting some play time this year! Having him as a powerback is a nice compliment to the sheer speed of Demps/Rainey.

[gatorskater]

Moody is playing great. He needs more burn in the SEC games.

[alreegator]

Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooody!

[alreegator]

16-10 Bammer

[alreegator]

That's beautiful for Cade!

[BitterGreg]

BYU in redzone with 6 min left to go

[BitterGreg]

BYU 14 OU 13 3 min left

[ThePlayer]

Gillislie for the score.
Love those yung-un's.

[89g8rgirl]

Texas still has McCoy in the game padding stats- big 12 is good at that!

[Wuerffel5220]
