While Air Force was hoping to get all 12 of its football games on television this year, getting only 11 on did provide an opportunity.
Air Force will stream Saturday’s game against Idaho State live on www.goairforcefalcons.com, which will give the academy a chance to try out a new medium for its football games. The broadcast will be free and the academy is hoping for no major glitches.
With a big help from KVOR play-by-play man Jim Arthur, who has been a big part of bringing the radio feed to the internet broadcast, the Falcons think they are ready for the new adventure into online broadcasting. There was a test run at the stadium during last Saturday’s practice, which went well.
“At this point we have not encountered any major issues,” associate athletic director of communications Troy Garnhart said.
Air Force has streamed other sports on its website, but nothing as large as a home football game. Air Force has no idea how many people will tune in online, but Garnhart said the academy expects the number to be in the thousands.
Add me to the list of internet watchers.
Ditto for Massachusetts Falcon fan.
Hope this works well…..this will be the key for seeing AF basketball at ‘all’ this fall/next spring. Good luck to the AD!
Count PA. in. I gotta see my cousin Cody Getz have a great year bud.

I’ll be dialed in. Go Zoomies! Watch that new “D” do its thing.
One suggestion keep the camera on the field even during timeouts. Lose the logo screen everyone knows what game they are watching
This did not happen in Tucson, Arizona and I had 40 people at my house for a party that were really irritated. As a former board member of the AFA Athletic Foundation, officer of AFA QB Club in Denver and season ticket holder for 25 years I could not believe something that was really hyped did not happen. I could have opted to go to a pay internet broadcast but I was too irritated to do so. We listened to KVOR radio broadcast on the internet.
The alleged site that was supposed to be free on the day of the game made no mention of it whatsoever but yet,I had seen it on August 30th advertised???
