Has anyone gotten this in the past? Are there any ISU games that are on it? What did people think of it?

I have gotten it the last 5 years. Living in California I had to, in order to watch ISU when they're playing on ABC. But, do to our recent records we have not been on ABC much. So, if you're going to get it just to watch ISU, it wouldn't be worth it.

I think you can still get it for a single week if ISU is on, but that one week will run you $19.95.

I've gotten it the past few years too - but I've never used it to watch an ISU game, to my recollection. It's always on a channel that I get down in Dallas or it's just not carried at all. But I love Gameplan...

For several years when I was in Seattle I got Gameplan, but I just ordered it on a game-by-game basis for $20 each. It was well worth it to see the games, especially considering the first one I ordered was @ KSU in '04 :biggrin:

Full Court is well worth it for basketball too, you get the entire season for under $100, and all but a handful of early non-con games are on it.

I get gameplan. It's awesome for watching lots of football, but you won't get too many big 12 games on it. Maybe one or two. It depends on where you live.

What you get is essentially the out of market ESPN/ABC games, and a few that are carried on some of the regional networks in the south. What you don't get is the other regional FSN games (you would need a separate regional sports package for that), or some of the locally broadcast regional games (think mid-majors).

The BTN has sort of obviated the need for much of it, IMO. Last year there were a lot fewer games of interest on it, since the BTN had 2 or 3 games per week on it that used to be on Gameplan.

I'd say it's worth it, but only if you're a pretty big fan of college football in general, as opposed to just wanting to catch a few ISU games (which is quite unlikely this year).
