TCU Athletics to host watch party of football game

Published Sep 24, 2009

TCU Athletics has organized a watching party for students, alumni and the community in the Daniel-Meyer Coliseum for Saturday's football game at Clemson University.

A large videoboard in the coliseum will show live coverage of the game, available from the Web site ESPN360.com, which shows live and past sporting events.



Since ESPN has the rights to coverage of the game, and it is not being shown on one of their networks, the only option for students and the community would have been to watch the game on their computers.

TCU playing at Clemson presents a unique set of challenges, he said.



"The home team never gives it to you, so you've got to go play," Patterson said. "Clemson definitely doesn't do that. They play very well at home."

Published Sep 24, 2009

Even on paper, corporate espionage sounds kind of dull.
