Best way to see games

[dernbuck]

I am wondering what is the cheapest way to see the Bucks if you live out of state, either online or on TV (other than sports bars every week). I used to get GamePlan but now we don't have cable or satellite and don't want to spend all the money if the only channel we care about is the one showing the Bucks. Any ideas?

I am in SoCal if that matters at all.

in baltimore I tired the gameplan route, doesn't come close to watching the game at the area alumni bar w/ anywhere between 50-150 fellow bucks... can't beat that unless you are in columbus...

This should give you an idea of some bars you can watch the games at.

Bucks will be on national tv alot this year, you may not even need "gameplan"! Of coarse, for $99 you will see alot of football!

i believe la has the largest out of state alumni associations, trying looking them up and give them a call. id be willing to bet even if you didnt grad from theOSU theyd be more than happy to have you for a couple of beers

Well, I am in Michigan and don't get one or two games a year since MSU ans scUM are shown over the Bucks.

Anyway, I can't purchase just one game on cable anymore. I used to, but now my cable provider requires purchase of the whole package. So I buy the weekly package on ESPN Gameplan online. I think it is about $10. You get all the gameplan games for that week. The negative is the picture in full screen mode is poor (lots of pixelization). At 1/2 size not too bad. Better than radio.

I am finding that cable and DirecTV require buying an entire package on top of buying the football package. I am trying to avoid that if I can.Thanks for the info guys. I may have to get the games online.

I'm a member of the local alumni association here on Oahu and I've never even been in the Columbus city limits, let alone attended OSU. Associations love to have fellow Buckeye fans watch the games with them at their favorite locales...they won't care at all if you're not an alum, just that you're a fellow Buckeye fan.

GamePlan on Directv was a stand-alone package when I ordered it last year...didn't have to order anything else.
