Okay, let me walk you through how I figured out the TV channel for the Colorado football game the other day. It’s something I do pretty often during the season.
Getting Started: The Need to Watch
So, the weekend was approaching, and I knew Colorado had a game. The first thought, naturally, was, “Alright, gotta make sure I know where to watch it.” Can’t just assume it’s on the usual spot, you know? These things change week to week.
First Steps: Checking the Usual Suspects
My first instinct usually is just a quick check. Sometimes I’ll quickly flip through the main sports channels like ESPN or FOX on my TV guide if I happen to be near the TV. Didn’t see it listed right away this time, or maybe I just missed it scrolling through.
Next, I pulled out my phone. It’s just faster sometimes. Opened up my web browser. My go-to search is pretty straightforward. I typed in something like:
- colorado football game tv channel today
- what channel is the CU Buffs game on
You get the idea. Simple, direct. Usually brings up a bunch of sports websites, news articles, stuff like that.
Sifting Through the Info
Now, here’s where it can get a little messy sometimes. You get results from ESPN, the official NCAA site, maybe Bleacher Report, local news sports sections… and occasionally, they might even list slightly different things or focus on streaming options.
I saw mentions of a few different channels across the results. Could be ABC, could be FOX, ESPN, maybe even the Pac-12 Network. It depends on the opponent, the time, and whatever TV deals are in place for that specific game. You really gotta pay attention to the date and the opponent listed next to the channel.
I tend to trust the listings on major sports network sites or the official university athletics page the most. So, I specifically looked for those. Clicked on one or two of the most promising links.
Finding the Answer
After checking a couple of reliable sources, I found the consensus. This particular week, the game was listed on ABC. Saw the kickoff time listed clearly too, which is just as important. Made a mental note, or sometimes I’ll jot it down if I think I’ll forget.
So yeah, that was the process. Just a bit of searching, filtering through the noise online, and confirming on a trusted site. Took maybe five minutes total? Not too bad, and definitely worth it to make sure I didn’t miss the kickoff scrambling to find the channel last minute. It’s just one of those little things you do to make sure your game day goes smoothly.
