ESPN delivers College Football companion app to iOS and Android just in time
If you're a football fan, then we don't have to tell you that college football kicks off this evening. But, perhaps, you have yet to find the perfect app for your smart phone or tablet to keep you informed during the fifteen solid hours of football this Saturday. ESPN hopes that its new ESPN College Football App will be the perfect companion on game day, and all year round for that matter, by delivering up to the minute news, stats and even video clips. The app ties in with your ESPN.com account for easy access to your favorite teams and of course will alert you to scores and other things, like potential upsets. It'll even give you quick access to the WatchESPN app so you can check out a game on your second screen. Add in the fact that this app is free, and we don't see any reason a football fan wouldn't head to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and download it right now. [Thanks, @bartenz]
The best HD sports on TV this week
In what is the closet college football will ever get to a real championship game, #2 Alabama meets #1 Florida in Atlanta on Saturday at 4pm. This is probably the hottest ticket in college football too as you could buy a really nice HDTV for what a decent set of tickets to this are going for on the second hand market. As much as we are looking forward to college football this weekend, it also, sadly, marks the end of real football because we all know that bowl games are just glorified scrimmage games. So be sure to catch one of the other great conference championships before its too late. CFB #2 Alabama vs. #1 Florida CBS 4:00 PM Sat #10 Georgia Tech vs. Clemson 8:00 PM Sat #5 Cincinnati at #15 Pittsburgh ABC 12:00 PM Sat #3 Texas vs #22 Nebraska ABC 8:00 Sat NFL Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts CBS 1:00 PM Sun Minnesota Vikings at Arizona Cardinals NBC 8:20 PM Sun Baltimore Ravens at Green Bay Packers ESPN 8:30 PM Mon NHL New Jersey Devils at Buffalo Sabres 7:00 PM Wed Vs NY Islanders at Philadelphia Flyers 7:00 PM Mon Vs NBA Boston Celtics at San Antonio Spurs 8:00 PM Thurs TNT Chicago Bulls at Cleveland Cavaliers Fri 8:00 PM ESPN
College Football Kickoff 2007 in HD
Ohh my, we can hardly wait! Football season kicks off tomorrow -- no, the real games are on now, no more practice. It's going to be more difficult than ever before for us to get off the couch and go outside because the number of games getting the HD treatment is so much more than ever before. It was only a year ago that we were excited because the opening weekend to NCAA Div-1A football brought us 13 HD games, but this year there are almost double that, with a total of 22 HD games from the kickoff Thursday, to the Bowden Bowl on Monday night. Unfortunately, for die hard fans there are more games than you can possibly watch -- but that's a good thing right? -- assuming you can even access all the games, 'cause some are regional, while others are on channels that your provider might not offer. Regardless, sit back and enjoy, as we look forward to the big boys kicking off the NFL in another week, and if you need to know if your big game is on in HD, head over to HDSportsguide.com for the full lineup.
ABC HD College Football Regional Coverage Maps
We're more excited than anyone that ABC started to cover college football games in our favorite format. One of the reasons it took so long was because of all the regional football games ABC covers. Regional games are by definition not covered nationaly so how is everyone supposed to know which games they will be able to watch? Our friends over at HDSportsguide.com have us covered and have posted maps and now we know which games we can expect to see in HD on Saturday.
2006 College Football HD Schedule
It's that time of year again and this will be the best yet for HD College Football fans. It seems that almost everyone will be stepping up this year. ABC is finally presenting their premier Saturday night game in HD this year, don't get us wrong we're happy, but we still wonder what took so long? It appears that all of ESPN's college football games are in HD this season, CBS is still doing their SEC Games of the Week and NBC is covering the Notre Dame home games in HD. There are even some rumors that FSN might have a HD game or two up their sleeves. Of course we have also come to expect at least a few Navy games from HD.net ESPN kicks off the season this Thursday with Boston College Eagles vs. Central Michigan Chippewas and the next five days brings us 13 games in HD! Wow 13 games in 5 days, that is more than we had in the entire 2004 season! The last of those is the FSU vs. Miami on ESPN.As always you can get the latest HD College football schedule at HDSportsguide.com, now if they would just make a Goggle calendar available like ours.
ABC adds Saturday Night CFB in HD
In an announcement that has us saying ABOUT TIME, ABC is going to start presenting their prime-time CFB games on Saturday nights in our favorite format. Well maybe not our favorite, but no one does 1080p. It appears that ESPN is going to continue to produce two games in HD on Saturday nights so that brings the total up to 3 HD games on at once which gives you a selection. In the past Saturday night college football on ABC has been the premier venue for the greatest match-ups in college football and college football fans everywhere have had to suffer through SD. Now if they would also produce the other BIG games in HD we would be all set, while they are at it make all the games HD.Only 4 more months to go!
