College Football Program Questions
Has ESPN's College Football Live program started? If so, what day and times?
Embarrassing to say, but I don't get the BTN but had someone tape their UofM visit when touring the schools but haven't received the copy yet so I was wondering if it was any good?
I am trying to find any college football programming via the internet to listen to or watch to calm my nerves before Sept 4th.

The BTN preview was alright, kind of hard to speculate on the season after watching parts of only one practice. But it has to do with the Wolverines so it is a must watch.

College Football Live has been on most of the summer already. I believe it is at 3p on ESPN and then replayed on ESPN2 in the early evening and then the next morning on ESPNU.

That's awesome. I have a Toy Story VHS you can have if you want it. If you want to calm your nerves, I would just Youtube a bunch of UM highlights, follow that up with some countdown to kickoffs, and then finish with Toy Story on VHS.

I've been getting less and less out of pre-season shows and College Gameday by the year.
Maybe my attention span has gone down, but I just don't find it as interesting as I used to. Things I've noticed:
-There are more Oprahesque human-interest pieces at the expense of football stories (some are uniquely interesting, like Jehuu Caulcrick's escape from war-torn Liberia, or Chris Perry and his mom from 2003).
-The coaches are more paranoid and while they love to appear on TV they tell less and less about their teams.
-The players are more narcissistic and talk less about the game and more about themselves.
-The new reporters they bring on appear to be getting dumber and so the quality of their stories is falling to say nothing of the content. Most of the former players are downright awful as commentators, and I feel like I'm watching a macho guy's night out.
-Too much cross-promotion with other television products - especially the ABC/ESPN axis. Feel like I'm being played for a sucker for the advertisers.

Because of sites like mgoblog, we already pretty much know everything they tell us by the time their show airs. The information and links here are so good that we don't really need ESPN for information about Michigan anymore.
I like it for games, highlights, and analysis of teams that I don't follow on a blog more than anything.
