Gameplan doesn't add or drop teams, they do it by conference. The Big 10 is HEAVILY represented in GamePlan. For what it's worth, here in Arkansas, I only get about 3 games per year nationally (someone above said 8 national games...that's simply not true anymore, there are almost always other options). But, even with only 3 games national, I've seen every Bucks game since Gameplan came out. Gameplan seems to carry every tOSU and scUM game that is not carried nationally. |

it was me... any ESPN broadcast is National... the Buckeyes are usually on ESPN several times per year: let's say 4 just for shits and giggles. the Texas game will be national, and the Iowa game will be national even if it isn't on ESPN. The Game will be national as well (pretty sure that Disney got the message last year  ), the Bowl game will be national. that leaves 6 games max that you would have to order, which would be $120 rather than the $150 for the entire Gameplan Package... of course, as Mili said, if you're a repeat customer and get the early bird special, it only costs $109, but i don't think i've ever paid more than $80 by simply ordering the games individually...
as for a webcast, i have no idea... i know that WBNS The Fan caused The Underground to halt the webcasts of the games, citing the exclusive contract they have with the University- which, IMHO is lame...

walmart sells this... http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=4012398
Now, I can't say if it works or not. But if any of you out of staters have some family in the Columbus area that would let you hook it up at their house, you could feasibly never have to order any of these packages again. I thought about getting one to hook up at my parents house, but I don't know if want to spend that much for something that may or may not work all that well.

For what it's worth, no one is one ESPN 4 times a yr. But we are always on at least twice. UT will be national, and presumably Iowa too since it's at night although there is ultimately talk of multiple night games. That leaves scUM. So you would likely get 5 games guaranteed.

ESPN gameplan via Brighthouse in Florida
Since I have moved to Florida I seem to get 3-5 games a year via my cable setup. I have had a couple of painful occasions where my cable on screen guide tells me that the ABC game is going to be OSU only to see some very lame non-OSU game show up.
I signed up for ESPN gameplan via Brighthouse on the early bird special of 109. Brighthouse is the Tampa Bay area cable provider. I am optimistic this will help me fill the gap. My son is over a year and a half old and it is time to start his OSU football watching training.

Gameplan is covering the Ohio State game. I've checked. I'm not sure if that was answered yet but I didn't feel like reading through the entire thread to find out.
