Each School to be Featured via the Internet
SALEM, Va. --- The Old Dominion Athletic
Conference (ODAC) and Penn Atlantic Inc. will be partnering to
broadcast six conference football games throughout the remainder of
the 2007 ODAC schedule. Much like last season's two showings,
the games' audio and video will be webcast over the Internet via
streaming audio and video. Each of the seven ODAC competing
schools will be featured at least once.
The first opportunity to catch a game will be this weekend,
Saturday, September 29, at Hampden-Sydney College. The Tigers
(3-1, 1-0 ODAC) play host to undefeated Bridgewater College (4-0,
0-0 ODAC) in the Eagles' opening league tilt of the season.
Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. at H-SC's new Lewis C. Everett
Stadium.
All six videocasts will feature conference schools in action.
Following this weekend's contest, the next videocast will be on
October 6 at Washington & Lee University as the Generals
welcome Catholic University to Lexington for a 1:30 p.m.
kickoff. Bridgewater travels to Emory & Henry College on
October 20, marking the third broadcast of the season at 1:00
p.m. Saturday, October 27, will feature a pair of ODAC
contests. Bridgewater and Washington & Lee will be going
toe-to-toe at W&L while Randolph-Macon College travels to
Greensboro, N.C., to square-off with Guilford College. Both
games start at 1:00 p.m. The season's final broadcast will
hit the web from Guilford as Emory & Henry takes on the Quakers
at 1:00 p.m. on November 10.
Once available, links to the games can be accessed through several
Internet locations. Each of the six games can be reached from
the ODAC website at www.odaconline.com or by directly
browsing to www.pennatlantic.com and
selecting the game from its list of scheduled broadcasts.
Depending on which schools are playing, links to the contests will
also be available at the respective participants' websites.
There will be a small charge of $3.50 to view each contest.
In order to view the broadcast, you will have to be using a cable
or DSL high-speed Internet connection (preferably above 600 kbps
download speed). You can test your speed (bandwidth) directly
from the Penn Atlantic website. The feed will not work with a
dial-up set up. You will also need Windows Media Player 9.0
or 10.0.
For AOL users, you will not be able to access the Penn Atlantic
website via the AOL browser (due to firewall). If you use
Internet Explorer (installed on every Windows-based PC) instead,
you will have no problems viewing the game.
Macintosh users should view the "FAQ" section of the Penn Atlantic
website to learn about how you can view the game. Scroll down
near the bottom of that section to the "Can I watch a game on my
Macintosh?" question to learn how to view the game.
