Alaska football game to make sports history tonight

Tonight at 7 p.m. Alaska Time (that's 11 p.m. for us folks here on the East Coast) the Barrow Whalers will open their 2007 football season against the Seward Seahawks.

It will be the first-ever live broadcast over the Internet of a sporting event from north of the Arctic Circle! The game will be played 300 miles above the circle in Barrow, Alaska: the northernmost point on the North American continent.
