With college football less than a month away, Cox Sports Television (CST) has announced its 2009 schedule, including nine weekly coaches’ shows and nine magazine shows. CST’s coverage this season will truly have it all for the ultimate college football fan to enjoy.

Highlighting the schedule will again be the LSU Tigers. For the 7th straight year, CST will show full game replays of every Tiger game on Sunday and Wednesday nights beginning with the season-opener against Washington on September 6. Award-winning announcer Lyn Rollins will return with play-by-play duties, while Greg Bowser will man the booth as analyst.

The New Orleans-based Sun Belt Conference has quickly closed the gap on the rest of the college football landscape and CST has joined forces with the league. The Sun Belt makes a number of stops on the regional sports network with key conference games such as Troy at Arkansas State (Sept. 26), North Texas at UL Lafayette (Oct. 10), Middle Tennessee  at ULM (Nov. 28) and Florida Atlantic at Florida International (Dec. 5).

CST will once again be home for the entire Jaguar Nation. The Southern Jaguars look to regain SWAC dominance from rival Grambling this season. Southern will be replayed on CST four times this season with another matchup to be added later in the season.

The Gulf South Conference, regarded as the best league in all of Division II, again makes a home on CST. The 2009 season gets kicked-started with the replay of a GSC matchup that pits Harding vs. West Alabama on September 4.

Other highlights of the schedule include regional favorites Louisiana Tech, Tulane and Southern Mississippi; the Big East Game of the Week; and an appearance from Big 10 power Ohio State.

CST Tonight!, the network’s weekly hour-long show hosted by Victor Howell and Paul Crane, continues to be the ultimate highlight show for all college football fans. During the LIVE 60 minutes of coverage, CST Tonight’s stable of reporters will bring the day’s action to a close and begin talks of the next week’s action.
