Where Are You Watching the Husker Pay Per View Games?

by Jon Johnston on Sep 1, 2009 12:45 PM CDT in Football Comment 15 comments

Four days away from the start of the 2009 Husker football season and if you haven't made plans as to where you're watching the game, you'd better start. Like last season, a number of the games are on Pay Per View at $29.95 apiece. This isn't a bad choice IF you're in Nebraska, or in select places in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas or Iowa.

However, if you're not in one of those states, you'd better have a satellite dish provider, a friend that does, or be close to a Husker watch party. If you're not in one of those situations, what are you going to do?

Consider this the thread to ask about pay per view information, finding watch sites, other Husker fans or how to find a place to watch the games. If nothing else, we can all help each other. Feel free to post resources, or suggestions of how we can do a better job of assisting Husker fans throughout the world.

BTW - If you vote that you're desperate, please tell us why in the comments section.

I just upgraded my cable

to be able to buy the game.

Though I may go to the watch party.

I actually won all three PPV games through Cox’s Twitter Giveaway! Perfect for that new 46" LCD TV that arrived last week! :D

Lake Okoboji

If anyone is vactioning in the Lake Okoboji/Spencer/Arnold’s Park, IA area Fillenwarth Beach Motel (87 Lakeshore Drive Arnolds Park, IA)will have the game on via satellite. It’s a smaller venue but it’ll work in a pinch plus they got a great bar scene nearby too.

If in NYC during a game

I’m told the watch site is The Irish Rogue in Manhattan, which is where the New York Alumni go to watch the game. I’ll be in Brooklyn for the Va Tech game this year, but I won’t be at the Rogue. I’ll be at my friends’ place helping to take care of my 9 month old twin nephews. But I, and they, will be in our red Husker gear watching on ESPN2.

Thanks!

Do you know if this will be solely a part of ESPN Gameplan or available as a single PPV?

by EricMedic on Sep 1, 2009 7:37 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Single PPV

I do not think it is part of Gameplan. Gameplan only covers out of coverage games, so if you wanted to watch a B12 regional game on ABC and you are in the Pac 10 region.

that's true

It’s NOT part of Gameplan. PPV games are only for out of region games.

Curious??

Called DirecTV and they do not have the Huskers on their PPV schedule for that channel. Where do you see it online?

by miejan on Sep 3, 2009 11:14 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

from Huskers.com

AT&T U-Verse – Channel 104, order on screen, available nationally
DirecTV – Channel 787, order on screen or call 1-800-DirecTV, available nationally
Dish Network – Channel 465, order on screen, available nationally

I’ll show up – always has…. well, I have dish network, but the I think the two satellite providers have been pretty comparable.
