I am hoping to try out the chat room feature this evening during the Panthers game. Please somebody join me!

I'll give it a shot too, hopefully it works well. It will be nice to have a live forum to discuss football during some of Appalachian's televised away games.

Is the Panther's game being televised (nationally or locally)?

Locally it's on WCCB Fox Charlotte. I know that most TV listings were showing the Lions game but they said last night that the Panthers would be shown. And my TiVo now shows the Panthers game. I just had to reset my recording.
