Bamabuzzard -
The way it works is this (as I remember) - there are a set of "ESPN GamePlan" specific channels, I think they were 770-782 for me when I subscribed. Basically, any and all games that GamePlan was carrying would be on those channels. The Alabama game would be listed as being on one of those channels. All you need to do is find out which of those GamePlan channels the Bama game is on, and tune in for kick-off. In the time that the Game's not on, you can cruise the other GamePlan channels and watch all the other games going on.
I miss DirectTV and GamePlan.

I theoretically could get it through digital cable, but I think Comcast up here isn't offering GamePlan.
