MEMPHIS, TENN. - Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast (CSS) announced today that the network has selected two Tiger football games for broadcast this coming season. The two additions give the Tigers six televised games for the 2008 campaign.

CSS, which is only available through a cable provider, will air the September 13 meeting between Memphis and Marshall in Huntington, W. Va., as well as the October 18 match-up between Memphis and East Carolina in Greenville, N.C.

In addition to the CSS games, Memphis will have three contests carried by CBS College Sports, including the Conference USA opener with Rice at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on Sept. 6. CBS College Sports has also arranged to air the Thursday, Oct. 2, game with UAB in Birmingham and the Oct. 25 game with Southern Miss in Memphis, which has been tabbed as the U of M's Homecoming Game.

The Tigers added the Louisville Cardinals to the schedule this season for the first time since 2004 and that game will be broadcast nationally by ESPN on Friday, Oct. 10, at the Liberty Bowl.

Conference USA television contracts allow for additional games to be selected for broadcast later in the season.
