I think you may end up pleasantly surprised. I would be shocked if Michigan does not end up with at least 2-3 NBC Saturday Night Football games. The most likely candidates: @Nebraska, @Minnesota, @MSU, or @Maryland. I think at least two of those games end up at night on NBC, especially this season with CBS only carrying 7 Big Ten games for 2023 and no USC & UCLA.

I must have some residual BPONE. Playing a lightly regarded program on a new-ish network is giving me some 2007 vibes. UNLV or BG seems better suited for Peacock. ECU was actually decent last year. They went 8-5 and three of those losses were by three or fewer points.

Don't care about BG being a night game, though I would expect the stadium atmosphere to be a solid 'meh'.  Not that it would be much livelier if it were an afternoon kick.

Also:  F*** Peacock, still not paying for that ****.  Guess I'll be listening on the radio and watching the parkinggod highlight package later.

I realized how old I had gotten last year during the Hawaii game. I have never wanted a game to end more in my life and then the 2.5 hour drive home almost killed me. Needless to say, hard pass on BG at 7:30.

As much as I hate the new TV deals and the idea of playing conference games in California, if we’re going to start regularly getting game times announced well ahead of time, that’s a legitimate plus.
