Mich v UConn TV showings panic averted EDIT: for some not all
Hey folks, I just checked the future schedule for the game on the DTV guide, I get the NYC ABC affiliate and it finally shows our game listed at that time slot.
I also checked the San Diego affiliate for ABC and it was showing KSU v TX earlier but now indicates a TBD, I wouldn't doubt if Mich. game is shown, luckily, I get the NYC channel, yay for me!

Fuck. Comcast listings in the San Francisco Bay Area are still showing Kansas State at Texas. This is bad, hope it will change.
September 17th, 2013 at 6:52 PM ^
Honestly, who in the Bay Area cares about UT and/or KSU?
September 17th, 2013 at 6:54 PM ^
Who in the Bay Area cares about college sports in general... besides midwest transplants like me.
September 17th, 2013 at 6:49 PM ^
I live in Tucson, AZ and as of right now it is showing the texas game on ABC. Hopefully that will change in the next day or so. I understand it's regional but you have a ranked team playing on the road and two shitty teams playing. Come on people!
September 17th, 2013 at 6:49 PM ^
The way some people have been acting around here, it might be panic averted if they can't watch the game. Then they can calm the fuck down before Big Ten Play.

Your ability to take humor in stride is unmatched among the Michigan faithful.

I had the same issue, but then I just checked the guide online and it still says TX/KSU.

East coast (DC here) showing GERG on the TV listings. Does that still count as Michigan football? Er -- did it ever? I think not.
But srsly... PANICKING!!!!!
The game isn't being shown on local ABC affiliate (we won't mention WJLA-7's name) (oops), and it's not on The Deuce (does anyone call it that anymore?) (did Clint Dempsey somehow trademark that or something?). Sooo... ESPN3, you'd think, at least watch it over the Internets invented by Al Gore? No, it's not on those listings for Saturday night...dozens of FCS games are listed, and I'm sure most of those teams could take us to the wire too, but, not our game.
Where do I find the game??? Short of flying out of town??? And don't gimme this garbage streaming from some European Trash Website Invented By Some Swede Version Of Al Gore, I want a direct feed from good ol' ESPN. 'Murica, damned it.

So.... you're saying it IS reverse mirror?
September 17th, 2013 at 7:32 PM ^
Unless my eyes deceive me or something has not been updated, the Comcast listings here in southwestern Wayne County (about 20 miles east of Ann Arbor) have KSU-Texas on ABC as well with Michigan available on ESPN3 or GamePlan. It could be that this is because of the late announcement and we do get the Michigan game anyway, but it gave me a fright. anyone in SE Michigan confirm? Did I misread it?
September 17th, 2013 at 10:24 PM ^
September 18th, 2013 at 9:04 AM ^
This is odd. The schedule says GamePlan and ESPN 3, but when you go to the WatchESPN site, it does not list the game in the 8:00 slot.
September 17th, 2013 at 7:27 PM ^
I'm trying to figure out if it will be on in Seattle. Usually there is a coverage map but I can't find one.
September 17th, 2013 at 7:34 PM ^
ESPN/ABC usually release their coverage maps on Thursday.
September 17th, 2013 at 7:37 PM ^
I'm not going to freak out until Thursday then.
September 17th, 2013 at 8:26 PM ^
Same. If shit does hit the fan, I'll just head over to Buckley's, who'll indubitably find some way to have the game on TV.
September 17th, 2013 at 7:37 PM ^
I took at look at Xfinity/Comcast's online schedule in Seattle and it looks like it is the Texas game. I hope that will change, but if not, does anyone know of any "unofficial" streaming sites that are good? I'm living in corporate housing and am stuck with basic cable, so my options are limited.

I got kicked out of bar last year for asking to put the NU-Mich game on one of the TVs.
September 17th, 2013 at 8:11 PM ^
September 17th, 2013 at 8:28 PM ^
I'm not sure why a bunch of homeys from Crete would care about a Michigan game
September 17th, 2013 at 8:40 PM ^
Two reasonably entertaining and well-matched teams at a decent time of day? That bar must really hate making people happy.
September 18th, 2013 at 12:49 PM ^
Because I've never heard of somebody getting kicked out of a bar just for asking for a game to be put on TV.
September 18th, 2013 at 1:29 PM ^
Sorry NU=Nebraska to me. I abbreviate Northwestern as NW to piss off a few of my Northwestern buddies and I let it carry over. Granted I was asking in metro-Detroit during the World Series but I didn't think one TV was all that big of a deal. I was fine about being told no but the bartender was being rude about it [just needed a no, didn't need additional snark or to have half my drink spilled when you handed it to me, we exchanged pleasentries and I asked to speak to the manager and he kicked me out before a word was spoken].

How do you get the NY affiliate on DTV?
September 17th, 2013 at 11:20 PM ^
I've been with DTV since 1995, back in the late 90's when they started adding the Networks to the package, the san diego affiliates were not joined yet, so they offered me NYC & LA ABC & NBC and after the san diego affiliates finally joined sometime later, I was able to keep the out of town affiliates because I was grandfathered in.
I knew it would pay off at various times and this is a case where it does. I pay $3.50 a month/each for both ABC & NBC to have them, it's worth it, if I ever drop them for even one month, I can never get them back even if I wanted to, that's why I kept them.
September 17th, 2013 at 7:31 PM ^
I just checked my guide and it still says KSU/Texas. I will not be a happy camper with DirecTV if this keeps up.
September 18th, 2013 at 9:06 AM ^
It isn't DIRECTV's fault. The blame will lie solely with ABC/ESPN.
September 17th, 2013 at 7:36 PM ^
the Texas/Kansas St game probably will be a better game.
September 17th, 2013 at 8:14 PM ^
Miniature American flags for others.
September 17th, 2013 at 8:22 PM ^
I know it isn't the best but ESPN3? I'm sure you could stream it online. If you have a fast Internet connection, it works fine.
September 17th, 2013 at 9:04 PM ^
September 17th, 2013 at 9:08 PM ^
Those of you with DirecTV (myself included) will not be able to use ESPN3 to watch the game.
Of course if DTV and ESPN recently struck a deal that someone wants to point out, I'll stand (happily) corrected.
September 18th, 2013 at 9:08 AM ^
Nope, definitely no deal struck, which is amazing to me. I don't understand why they can't come to an agreement. Thankfully, though, a friend of mine gave me a login for another cable company, so if it's on WatchESPN, I will be able to see it.

Urge to kill: on hold pending Thursday ABC coverage map unfurl
