See The Game!
UPDATE: Info for the 2008 season can be viewed here.
If you're in Hawaii, it's pretty easy to see UH football games. Go to the stadium, which is hardly ever sold out, or watch it on pay-per-view or K5 at your house, your friend's house, in a sports bar, whereever.
If you're not in Hawaii, but you're a die-hard Hawaii Warrior fan, it's a little tougher. For one, it's probably too expensive to fly to Hawaii every weekend. So you have to make do with seeing the scores on the news. If you're lucky, every once in a while ESPN or some other network will pick up a game, so you can cheer on UH from your log cabin in Minnesota.
Recently though, it's gotten a little easier to watch games from out-of-state... if you're willing to dish out some money and have cable or satellite TV and broadband internet access. So if you have all those, below are some details on how you might be able to watch every single UH football game this season! Woo hoo!
First off, there's ESPN Gameplan. Check with your cable or satellite company to see if they have it. If they don't, ESPN also streams the games online. But be careful, you can't switch between the two -- if you order it from your cable company, you can't watch the games online without ordering the online version as well, and vice versa. So make sure you order the right one for you, especially since it's kind of expensive. For either version, the season package is $130, and for individual weekends it's $21.
Last year, Gameplan carried about 3 or 4 UH football games, and the good news is this Saturday they'll be showing the Hawaii vs Alabama game! Though I heard that Dish Network is blacking out the game in some areas, so check directly with them if you have it. There's also no promise that Gameplan will carry any other UH games this season, but I'm pretty sure this won't be the only one this year.
Another way to watch UH games is through Hawaiian Telcom Media. They debuted last year and streamed four UH home games. This year they're streaming seven home games! Each individual game is $9.95, but you can buy all seven games for $39.95. They also stream Wahine volleyball, Wahine soccer, men's basketball, men's volleyball games as well, so you can get your UH fix from any of these sports. It's about 60 UH games in all, and the package for all these games from all these sports is $69.95, which is a great deal. You'll need a broadband connection and the latest version of Windows Media Player for optimal viewing. Check here for more detailed specs.
And finally, there's WAC.TV, which just debuted this year. They're gonna be streaming 34 WAC football games this season, including all four Hawaii road games! So let's hope they do as good a job with it as Hawaiian Telcom. They haven't posted prices of any of the games yet, but I can't imagine it being more than $9.95. We'll see. Again you'll need a broadband connection and Windows Media.
So with all that info, here's a UH football schedule with the ways an out-of-state UH fan can watch them.
The only game unaccounted for is Purdue, which I think ESPN will end up showing since they have it as an option on their schedule. Plus, Hawaiian Tel Media isn't showing it, so they must know something.
So I hope this helps some out-of-state UH football fans. Please e-mail or comment with any updates or corrections. This is gonna be a great season! Go Warriors!
