Edit: As danimal1968 pointed out, this is just the ABC/ESPN games. Changed headline accordingly.
just remember that Michigan will play during primetime on NBC versus Notre Dame
on Labor Day from Houston will also be in prime time.
BTN usually has several prime time games as well.
Nov 1 Illinois at OSU? Would much rather watch Iowa v. NW or Penn State v. MD
I am just glad Illinois has more competition in the BIG now...Maryland and Rutgers...lol
Nebraska-MSU is going to be a great game!!! Looking forward to that one...
to be a fun one. Come oooonnnnn, Hokies!
I'm surprised the MSU-OSU game isn't primetime. There was quite a bit of talk about it being a night game, and it seemed like Michigan State fans were looking forward to it. Mark Rudner, the B1G senior associate commissioner for TV administration, did say more night games could be announced by early summer, though.
Beat the hell out of Penn State at the big house. They have this coming.
Dude, no shit. We killed them nine times in a row, but karma has been a bitch for Michigan lately against them.
Why is that Karma? It's not like we cheated or cheap-punched them. What am I missing?
In a couple of years, unless we really get our act together, PSU could be a tough win, even if Karma shifts out way. They have a very dynamic coach and so far have 8 four stars out of 12 recruits.
Michigan only has one prime time game, while PSU, OSU and Neb have two each. Guess NBC has rights to the ND game.
to go through their version of Michigan football from 2013-2014, only it will actually be worse. They will not be good for the near future. They might even lose those good recruits by the time this year is over.
But...but...but...there is a RULE against Big Ten night games in November!

That Guy
That was a conference preference for a long time, but Delaney squashed that notion back in 2011.

Hahahahaha....
On a non-joking note, Maryland can probably get away with scheduling night games into November against the right opponent and get on prime time (I know there isn't a rule). The weather is still pretty comfortable in College Park around that time. In 2010, they played a night game against Florida State as late as November 20th that aired on ABC. So we might even see Big Ten Football at night in late November.
Who's going to be the PBP man with Herbie now that Musberger left
Chris Fowler. I like the guy that pairs with Blackledge. Sean something!
However you spell it. I've always liked him
Seeing that lineup caused my eyes to dart to the date on my computer screen...I really enjoy college football.
