Orbitel Communications has announced the addition of two football channel packages for its Maricopa customers, NFL RedZone and ESPN GamePlan. These exciting Pay-Per-View channels bring Orbitel fans of NFL and college football more coverage this season than ever before.

“These are great packages for football fans, and very affordable,” said Gina Linville, Orbitel Vice President of Operations and Customer Service. “NFL RedZone is only $49.95 for the entire 16-week NFL season. ESPN GamePlan will show up to 15 key college football match-ups each week in top conferences, all for only $135 for the season.”

NFL RedZone was introduced last year by the NFL Network, Orbitel cable channel 70 and HD channel 870. On each Sunday beginning September 12, as NFL teams have a scoring drive inside the 20 yard line “red zone”, the action will be shown live on NFL RedZone, Orbitel channel 400. The NFL RedZone package is $49.95 for the entire season. “That is less than $3 a week,” said Linville, “which is pretty outstanding for an NFL package! The idea is to show every touchdown on every Sunday from all across the league.” Fans who love NFL will enjoy the excitement of NFL RedZone.

ESPN GamePlan, on Orbitel channels 460-465, kicks off Saturday Sept 4th. Each Saturday ESPN GamePlan will show up to 15 additional college football games from the SEC, ACC, Big East, Big 12, Pac-10, WAC, MAC, and Sun Belt conferences. The ESPN GamePlan package can be purchased by Orbitel customers for $135 for the full season. ESPN GamePlan uses up to six different channels to add out of market coverage for college football fans.

The addition of NFL RedZone and ESPN GamePlan come right after Orbitel announced its addition and exclusive carriage of MTN HD, Orbitel Channel 945. The addition of these eight new channels continues to demonstrate Orbitel’s commitment to add programming of interest to its customers.

To order NFL RedZone or ESPN Game Plan, call Orbitel at (520) 568-8890. There are no long term contracts and no equipment to buy.

Miami Hurricanes Football Videos

The Miami Hurricanes will enter the 2010 CFB season as the #4 ranked team according to the Sporting News. Of course a lot of other pre season polls have them quite lower, but they are a top 25 team as the CFB season starts tonight. Junior QB Jacoby Harris is fastly becoming a skilled playmaker, but he must cut down on his interceptions, he had 17 in 2009. The ‘Canes also have a lot of staff returning and continuity with that should pay off big in 2010.

The key date on their schedule is September 11th at Ohio State. The Hurricanes must travel to the Horseshoe for a rematch of the 2003 Fiesta Bowl. It seems that this is the biggest Non Conference game for the ACC all season. They get a big test the next week when they travel to Pittsburgh, and save the opener against Florida A & M spend September on the road in the North.

The next big thing for this team is Jamal Reid. This red shirt freshman was all the talk of spring ball and is expected to push for a starting safety job very soon. Without a doubt he is one of the finest DB recruits the country over.

This was a 9-4 team a year ago, and they finished in the top 25 rankings for the first time in four years. The players take great pride in having rebuilt this program into an elite status, but feel that much work remains. This is a hungry team, and that usually means they will go out and get things done.
