STATESBORO – Another football season is upon us and that means Georgia Southern fans have several different ways to keep up with all the action on and off the field. The Georgia Southern Athletics Department and Learfield have announced the schedule for three different broadcast opportunities each week for fans to keep up with all things Eagle Athletics.
Radio Show
Hail Southern Live begins for the 2021 season on Thursday (9/2) night from 7-8 pm. The show will look slightly different this year but will be free and open to the public to attend. The show will move to Thursday nights and will originate from Bishop Field House. Hail Southern Live will continue to be hosted by the Voice of the Eagles, Danny Reed, and can be seen on Facebook Live on the Georgia Southern Athletics Facebook Page. Fans can also hear the show locally on The Eagle 94.9 or across the Georgia Southern Sports Network, online at gseagles.com or on TuneIn.
Fans are encouraged to join the conversation by tweeting in questions to @GSSportsNetwork or text in to 912-274-3607. Once again this year, fans can also take a video of them asking a question for Coach Lunsford and email them to clacy@learfield.com to be shown on the Facebook Live stream.
The Eagles kick off the 2021 season against the Runnin' Bulldogs of Gardner-Webb on Saturday, Sept. 4 at 6 p.m., and the game can be seen live on the ESPN3 as well as heard on the Georgia Southern Sports Network. Tickets are still available and can be purchased at GSEagles.com/Tickets.
