Hurricane Gustav forced ESPN to shuffle their line up for Saturday.
The Appalachian State vs. LSU game, which has been moved from 5:00 PM ET to 11:00 AM ET, will be aired on ESPN Classic, where it will not be available in high definition. To fill the void, ESPN HD and ESPNU HD will now simulcast Delaware vs. Maryland, scheduled to begin at 3:45 PM ET.

The 2008-2009 College Football season starts Thursday and today ESPN is finalizing preparations for the weekend’s festivities. As with seasons past, ESPN is utilizing a “reverse mirror,” wherein they broadcast a different game on a different ESPN network, depending on the region. This changes the network on which a number of games will be aired, and in order to make sure we know where to find the games, ESPN emails us a detailed map of which games are on in regions around the US.

CBS College Sports, formerly known as CSTV, is currently available in high definition on DirecTV and should be available soon on other carriers.
