I will be on a plane from 5:30 to 9:30 Eastern time. I hope the internet on the plane is working.
October 19th, 2015 at 11:13 PM ^
And the stupid plane did not have WIFI. I think most of the their planes do but I ended up missing the 1st half of the state game!
October 19th, 2015 at 2:46 PM ^
Hm, I've had it at 7pm on my calendar for a couple months now. But thanks for the reminder I suppose.
October 19th, 2015 at 3:10 PM ^
That might have been entered as central time considering it is in Minnesota.
October 19th, 2015 at 3:20 PM ^
Any lottery numbers coming to mind?
October 19th, 2015 at 2:47 PM ^
Why do they do this to me? On the day when lingerie is deemed normal attire for 20-30 yr olds women....
Living out of state, it is slightly less likely it'll socially acceptible for me to watch the game out at social events and I already used the majority of me data streaming the MSU game at a wedding...
*sigh*
October 19th, 2015 at 2:48 PM ^
Whatever will be . . . assume this is for the TV schedulers?
October 19th, 2015 at 2:56 PM ^
it is because they think they can get a better game in the ABC slot. That would be my guess. If Minnesota was any good like they were supposed to be and if The Thing That We Shall Not Speak Of had not taken place then I can see sending Fowler and Herbie, but let's be honest, ABC can probably find something a little better than that impending beatdown.
October 19th, 2015 at 3:17 PM ^
Temple vs. ND is in the ABC timeslot now. Which makes sense: Temple is in the top 25 for the first time in forever, and ABC nearly always puts ND on when it can.
As a MN resident and childless adult, I'm happy: standing outside at 10pm in late october is not and ideal situation around these parts.
October 19th, 2015 at 3:24 PM ^
getting displaced by ND v. fricking Temple doesn't feel so great though.

This is when it has always been, no?
I had already accepted being a good Dad to take my son trick-or-treating was more important than going ot the game...sigh...please don't tell me they are moving it earlier so I will miss a good chunk on TV.

Your avatar and your username confuse me.
October 19th, 2015 at 3:05 PM ^
Clearly you understand the situtation. (see my sig)
October 19th, 2015 at 2:59 PM ^
are you in central time? 7 PM eastern so 6 pm central?
October 19th, 2015 at 3:13 PM ^
I'm in CST. I just checked and it still says 7:00 PM CST.
EDIT: I just checked again. The official Gopher football schedule has been changed to 6:00 PM CST.
Sigh...now I will not only miss going to the game, but I will also be walking around our neighborhood while the game is on. The Boy better get some good candy to share!!!

Last time I remember UM having a halloween game was the 2009 Illinois debacle. I made a kid dressed up in full MSU football gear at my door cry.
October 19th, 2015 at 2:57 PM ^
you should have.

This is total DISRESPEKT by ESPN, and I'll be carrying around a chip on my shoulder for the next two weeks!
October 19th, 2015 at 2:55 PM ^
I'm screwed.
October 19th, 2015 at 3:00 PM ^
It was listed on MGoBlue as 7pm CT. As it is a Minnesota home game it is listed with local start time in that time zone.
October 19th, 2015 at 3:03 PM ^
Correct -- the game is now at 6 PM CT, apparently.
October 19th, 2015 at 3:03 PM ^
Not a big deal with the exception that it opens us up to missing the first quarter if the 3:30 ESPN game goes too long. Those of you who DVR your games, be ready for this.
October 19th, 2015 at 3:11 PM ^
The 3:30 ESPN game will be either Clemson at North Carolina State or Oklahoma State at Texas Tech.
Be ready for a long wait, especially if it's the Big 12 game.
October 19th, 2015 at 3:35 PM ^
It should be an on overflow channel. Which means that you should be able to see it all, but you've got to be babysitting your DVR until the game in the preceding time slot is over.
October 19th, 2015 at 3:07 PM ^
The game was originally listed at 7:00 pm CDT (8:00 pm EDT). The game has been moved to 6:00 pm CDT (7:00 pm EDT).

a BTN game?
If it was originally 8pm for ESPN, moving it to 7pm likely means ESPN picked up a Pac12 game for their 10pm slot.
October 19th, 2015 at 3:19 PM ^
ESPN's Saturday night game is always at 7:00--they want to get to SportsCenter by 11:00 on the East Coast.
I think this was unofficially slotted as a possibility for ABC, which is of course at 8:00. With Michigan's loss, ABC went with another option and the Michigan-Minnesota game fell back to ESPN. The sad thing? The 8:00 ABC game is Notre Dame at Temple.
Temple.
October 19th, 2015 at 3:48 PM ^
for not checking on that. I see now ND/Temple is on ABC and ESPN has yet to fill its late night game slot.
October 19th, 2015 at 4:31 PM ^
But I guess they're not the reason the game is going to be on ABC.

I guess we'll be doing "speed trick-or-treating" as a family this year....
October 19th, 2015 at 3:19 PM ^
October 19th, 2015 at 4:25 PM ^
Trick or Treating. Running thru peoples' yards in the dark while hoping to avoid tripping over a retaining wall or running into a rabid raccoon was always part of the experience.

But...what time is the MSU game?
October 19th, 2015 at 3:32 PM ^
Thanks again, Dave Brandon . . . .
October 19th, 2015 at 3:25 PM ^
October 19th, 2015 at 3:30 PM ^
Hopefully we play well to start and the refs are cool or the trick or treaters are gonna see some scary man yelling at TV

Its a rough week for college football on paper. Which probably means a lot of upsets! As someone else said Temple vs ND might be the only matchup of ranked teams.
There is not a single game currently scheduled for 8 PM now with this move to 7 PM. Hmm . Miami Duke is 7 pm as is Kentucky Tenn - I mean that's the competition right now.
ND Temple is TBD and looks like the only game to go to 8. Maybe they do USC Cal as well if USC shows anything next week.
