Actually in the latest "Inside The Fort" over at Rivals the staff reported that Jaylen had to cancel the trip due to a scheduling conflict.
EDIT: From Chris Balas yesterday...
5* '15 Jaylen Brown won't be visiting next week - that & more in this ITF, behind the scenes look at U-M fb/bb($): https://t.co/zQNyzKPDMK

ESPN must see this game as a potential upset. I really wouldn't be surprised after what Rutgers did to them.
I'm just annoyed at it being the same time as our Hockey team that is averaging 7 goals per game thus far in the calendar year.
And to the "DVR!, DVR!" birds, it's on a channel I don't get because I live in Michigan so I have to watch it on BTN+ which I usually stream to my TV.
There have been times in the past where I've watched Hockey over Basketball. I'll try to figure something out I guess.

When ESPN set their college hoops schedule months ago, they had both MSU/Nebraska and Wisky/Michigan as 4/7 ET tips. One would be at 7 (and get GameDay), one would be at 4.
Anyway, point being --- this always had the potential to conflict with hockey. Such is: I think the publicity of GameDay on-campus is worth it.
Wisconsin can always shift the start time of ice hockey back from 8 ET (7 CT) to 9 ET (8 CT). 8 CT is still not very late, it's a Saturday night anyway, and the game's on a relatively "low-profile" TV network where they may have some flexibility.

That'd be two 9pm games in a row.
I wish they'd move it back to the daytime.
You see, unlike wisconsin, Michigan actually schedules the Hockey home game times to accomodate people who don't want to miss any of either game.
Last weekend was awesome. They had the Basketball game at 1, and then I made the short trek to Yost for the Hockey game.

Little secret: The world outside Ann Arbor pretty much doesn't give a crap about our hockey team, especially those who decide when the basketball team plays on TV. Hell, most of our fanbase probably isn't even aware there's a hockey game that night. This isn't that big of a deal.

It is to me and I'm going to keep complaining about it.

This is also going to conflict with women's water polo. Typical of ESPN and the male-dominated athletic department to completely ignore the importance of women's athletics.
The patriarchy exists. This is why we need feminism.
January 17th, 2015 at 1:15 PM ^
Even Water Polo's game vs SJSU doesn't conflict with MBB....

This is unnecessary ESPN, I'm still dealing with Packers fans.
"Der... Who's Detroit playing this weekend? ha ha ha!"
"Nashville and Buffalo."

My first reaction was there must be an awful slate of games next Saturday.
January 17th, 2015 at 2:11 PM ^
You're really going to bitch about us being on Gameday? You are perpetually outraged.
January 17th, 2015 at 1:36 PM ^
It certainly won't hurt to have a national game. And yeah, it sucks it conflicts with hockey, I guess (sure seems like lots of bandwagon jumping recently with this team, given what I read in the game threads a couple months ago), but I'd like to think most people can find a way to enjoy both.
January 17th, 2015 at 2:25 PM ^
I'll be the first to say I doubted Red. I WANT people to neg me for that. I begged for negs after he won his 800th game last week.
Please neg me. I most certainly deserve it.
But I did not bail on this team. I've watched every game and have listened to the ones that weren't televised. Even that debacle on the road back in November at Tech. The last Hockey game I missed was two years ago and that was due to a Basketball game.

The ESPN site is now officially listing this at a 7 PM game, so that's what it shall be. Actually, we have quite a few games which will start at 7 PM EST or later coming up, from the look of things, starting tonight with Northwestern and this 8:15 PM tip. BTN really likes to pretend I have nothing better to do on Saturday night - sadly, they are correct in the case of this Saturday.
January 17th, 2015 at 2:13 PM ^
a scheduling conflict due to a game being rescheduled apparently... is this legit or a sign we're fading? with gameday seems an ideal time to have him on campus with a lively crowd
also reading elsewhere that derrick thorton in 2016 will be removing michigan from his list
