Directv will either show all of the games on alternate channels or only one.  If they show them all then even if you don't subscribe to it you could go to a sports bar or to a friends house.  For those of us on the left coast 9:00 AM in a sports bar is not much fun, but it's better than listening to the radio feed over the internet.  At worst someone on the list could burn a dvd for you.

I have Directv so I'm hoping for the best.  At least I won't be spending the bucks for Gameplan this year.  Maybe I can talk the wife into a road trip.  We made the Reno game last year and the Michigan homecoming game the year before.  Unfortunately  none of the games are "out here" this year.
