Just saw that it is live on BTN2Go instead of a delay. Lousy marketing on Michigan's part. All I read was that there was a delay. Someone should change the SpingGame Preview to note that as well.

For what, a decade now? And it still feels like it's run by a high school media class.

Heard the same promo by Shepard like 3 times when it went down and back up, then I heard him say something to Brandstatter off-air.

Harbaugh on OL in fall. It will be a process. His 3 starters are Cole, Bredeson, and his stated 3rd was JBB at tackle Cole he didn't say a position. So I read that as tackles and Bredeson are set. Then he said everyone else is in competition . He talked about Ruiz and 3 fall incoming freshman before any of the older guys aside from Onwenu and Kugler. Nolan U is a bit banged up.so might not see much today.

This is why I don't understand the comments about ESPN... Like who is doing it better? BTN/Fox/NBC/CBS... No one else comes close the to production level. Not to mention all the people making the decision there got their start at ESPN.

100% agree. Nobody does it better, in fact most do it MUCH worse. High quality TV production is hard, very hard. ESPN has some lame shows (First Take, SC6), but their actual game productions are top notch.

My inside Intel say pretty much starting online all playing on Maize. Chris & Karan will only play about a quarter. Offense finally came together yesterday & was "A beautiful sight" best practice so far.

The BTN stream is a bad joke; it's full of MPEG blocking, audio/video is out of sync, and it keeps dropping out, which is about the only time it's watchable.

How many times have we heard the introduction? I know this is the B team since the OSU game is on live TV, but this is pathetic. They could have gotten the broadcast team from across the street at Pioneer and they would be doing a better job.
