I live in Japan. Is there any way I can watch the game online?
Hi Hugh! The game will be streamed live for free on ESPN3.com as well (I'll add that to the TV info here) if you are able to get that through your internet service provider internationally. If you can get to GamecocksOnline.com All-Access from Japan you could listen live online to the radio broadcast with a premium account.
What is the radio coverage situation? I sometimes have problems getting 107.1 in Uptown. Will there be a low-power local station carrying the game in the stadium?
Hi Rulon! Yes, we'll have the full list up soon, but there will be a frequency in the stadium and it's 101.5 FM (primary) and 102.5 FM (secondary)
Awesome. Thanks Brittany! Love what you do here ... keep up the good work!
Will the USC/ECU game be replayedd on TV?
Yes, it will re-air tonight (Sunday, Sept 4) at 8:00 p.m. on SportSouth after The Steve Spurrier Show!
