More football games on TV
(Written by kencraw)
Since so few of the Cal games were picked up by the “big” networks, Cal has been aggressively courting the small ones to pick up the games. As such the WSU, Arizona and Colorado State games have been picked up, and they’re all going to be on “Comcast Sports Network – West”. That’s not to be confused with “Fox Sports Network – Bay Area” that was bought and renamed “Comcast Sports Network – Bay Area”.
This also means they have game times for these games:
- WSU: 9/6 at 3:30 PM
- Colorado State: 9/27 at 3:00 PM
- Arizona: 10/18 at 7:00 PM
The extra “good news” here is that we now have a game time for each of the road games one is likely to fly to (Oregon State is such a bad place to get by plane that it is both faster and cheaper to drive). Also, the Arizona game now being a night game means one can fly in the day of the game and fly out the next day to save on hotels and car rentals. For WSU, while the 3:30 PM flight time doesn’t really allow for either a same day arrival or departure without cutting things too close for comfort, I recommend flying straight from Pullman (well, really Spokane) to Maryland. A week in DC (or New York) can always be a lot of fun.

can’t say i’m going to pullman, or that i can afford to spend a week in DC, but i will be arriving thursday morning, so that should give me a good 4 days to enjoy our nation’s capital.
i’ve always wanted to do the ‘every road trip’ thing one of these years, but i’ve always managed to miss a few (twice i’ve come within one game). sounds super-fun though!

Rag, I’ll actually be working my way from from Boston where my brother is moving to in August down to DC via New York and Phili. I’ve never been back East, so it’ll be a new experience for me. I’ll be arriving in DC mid-day Thursday, so it looks like you’ll beat me there by a couple hours.
I think this will likely be my lone trip to Pullman… but I’ve got to go there at least once.
