@Mark__Snyder FOX had affiliate presentation today. I was given this by our IT guy today from the event.

Every televised edition of The Game has been ABC except two occasions.
1983 was on Sports View and 1985 was on CBS.
Michigan coach Harbaugh via video calls Fox "The new primary home for Big Ten football."

I guess we will at least have some young blonde talent for "urgent" sideline updates
don't forget the robots
Maybe this will put a hex on Ohio State since they seem clutch and stubborn enough in second half to continually pull out the win against us on ABC
The Section 1 and WolvDev melt downs would be legendary.
Oh I'd definitely go to a night game, just so that I wouldn't have to watch it as a Fox/Gus Johnson telecast.
But happily, Michigan-Ohio State will not be a night game, and will most likely be a noon game.
dont do gus johnson like that
Gus is a Michigan fan.
What I think Gus Johnson does, which no announcer should ever do, is to convince his listeners that he's a fan of your team. It's great for him, because he keeps on ingratiating himself with different groups of fans all over. It makes him a lousy reporter. But with high-def tv, and not much need for a "reporter," Gus Johnson is there, seemingly, for the entertainment and cheerleading.
If Gus Johnson is a "Michigan fan," it should clearly be fatal to any popularity that he had, in Columbus. But at ElevenWarriors, there is the same sort of Gus-dichotomy we see here. Younger tv watchers love him. Others really dislike him.
I recalled this post from my time at 11W. Some of the comments are pretty funny. I had actually forgotten(!) the trick I learned with my Comcast remote for the OSU-Wisconsin B10 Championship, pressing the "Language" button to remove Gus Johnson's commentary from the telecast and leaving only the crowd and ambient noise feed. It was wonderful!

WD your head must be fucking exploding today... First the MSU night game, now this.
I heard Keith Jackson wasn't going to do The Game even if it had been on ABC.
KEITH JACSON RETIRED IN 2006
think he "retired" from everything except for west coast games and the NC game at that time. I think the only non- Pac 10 or bowl games he called after that was the 2003 Michigan v. Ohio State game.
Edit: I though it was because the spread offenses span the whole width of the field, but you might be right. I wonder if they will zoom in accordingly.
because you can see just about everybody which is great for my football study.
Out with the old and in with the new you complacent old dinosaurs. Maybe go outside once a week and breathe some fresh air? Just a suggestion.

I'm very happy with this. Gus Johnson/Joel Klatt are the best announcing duo in CFB.
of Adam Amin and Mack Brown would like a word. 
This team will forever be legendary for Mack Brown leaving a game early and Adam Amin doing the rest of the game by himself. A monumental moment in college football broadcasting.
googled Gus Johnson...damn son. Full name is Augustus Cornelius Johnson...and he's a junior. His father had a chance to give him...well NOT that name but oh well.
Please, please no Gus Johnson. Or should I SAY GUS JOHNSON!!!
No idea why this isn't upvoted more. THIS is huge, I'd have to mute the TV
Now that Jabtil is there to save the day!
He's a good studio host. His playcalling is better, but it's not #1 team worthy. To me, a good PBP guy can carry a weak color commentator. I don't know if it works the other way around.
Best teams ESPN/ABC has had the past 25 years:
Keith Jackson/Bob Griese
Brent Musberger/Dick Vermeil
Brad Nessler/Bob Griese
Brent Musberger/Kirk Herbstreit/Bob Davie
Brad Nessler/Gary Danielson
And as much as I hate the SEC, I would watch Lundquist and Danielson over any Pac-12 or Big-12 game Gus Johnson is calling. Love Gus, but Lundquist > Gus for an entire game.
I think Lundquist just retired.
I won't watch Herbstreit after last year's heel turn. I'm holding an open casting call for my favorite crew.
and of course conference chamionships and playoff games on Fox. I agree with previous posters....it doesn't feel right. Gus Johnson's schtick annoys me to no end. The player intros with flexing and posturing.... Not looking forward to this but hoping to be pleasantly surprised.
