The Michigan - Michigan State game (Oct. 29) will kick off at Noon ET on ABC, ESPN or ESPN2. #GoBlue

the other 12 PM ET ABC/ESPN/ESPN2 games are Penn State @ Purdue and Louisville @ Virginia.
PSU/Purdue doesn't exactly feel like an ABC game - actually, that feels A LOT like Beth Mowins on ESPN2. So for U-M/MSU, it's probably down to ABC/ESPN with the ACC game.
October 17th, 2016 at 12:34 PM ^
That would be my guess as well. PSU/Purdue feels like it should be on ESPN8.

The "Ocho" shows Dodgeball on Saturdays, IIRC.
October 18th, 2016 at 9:11 AM ^
by dodgeball. That's sad.

Probably would have had a good chance to be College Gameday if State wasn't garbage. Not anymore
October 17th, 2016 at 1:26 PM ^
I can't believe people still care about where College GameDay is at...
October 17th, 2016 at 3:46 PM ^
that possibility ended three State loses ago
October 17th, 2016 at 4:43 PM ^
Have a new closet for the Paul bunyan trophy?
October 17th, 2016 at 5:51 PM ^
With a trash tornado included, if Sparty could somehow control the weather.
October 18th, 2016 at 10:31 AM ^
This is their team bus...
October 17th, 2016 at 11:44 AM ^
Excellent. I shall have the brunt of my day to do with as I choose following a historically vicious prison-raping of the Spartans of Michigan State...
October 17th, 2016 at 11:53 AM ^
but I just don't see the need to evoke that imagery. Beatdowns don't have to be associated with, you know, that.
October 17th, 2016 at 12:00 PM ^
You aren't trying to be a downer, but you are being one.
October 17th, 2016 at 12:08 PM ^
Sorry, I misspelled "prison-snuggling"...
October 17th, 2016 at 3:17 PM ^
You buddy (lol).
Looks like you have a personal vendetta to go and sniff out any fun that may be on this board.
October 17th, 2016 at 12:04 PM ^
Michigan State?
October 17th, 2016 at 11:56 AM ^
noon jailsex is the best jailsex
October 17th, 2016 at 12:03 PM ^
mercy!
October 17th, 2016 at 2:11 PM ^
Get em a bodybag! Yeahhhhh!
October 17th, 2016 at 12:15 PM ^
Bo wanted all jailsex at noon.
October 17th, 2016 at 2:17 PM ^
I thought. Toe meets leather at 1:30.
You can either televise it or not.
October 17th, 2016 at 12:08 PM ^
Yes, I too think rape jokes are funny. Especially when they involve clowns.
October 17th, 2016 at 1:19 PM ^
you should go to the Sandusky family picnic then...
October 17th, 2016 at 2:21 PM ^
You two should be ashamed of yourselves. This comedy club is no place for your base humor!
October 18th, 2016 at 3:47 PM ^
Try the veal!
October 17th, 2016 at 11:44 AM ^
perfect.
October 17th, 2016 at 11:44 AM ^
Pretty much assured noon slot since MSU is terrible. But I like it. Early games are best because it lets me have the rest of my day to do stuff and deal with emotions instead of constant nervous waiting.

That "constant nervous waiting" is part of the fun for me.
Also, my brain cannot wrap around that idea of having other things to do on college football Saturdays (other than the selfish people who schedule their dumb weddings on football Saturdays). The only thing to do every Saturday during the season is to watch football all day and night.
October 17th, 2016 at 9:09 PM ^
Kids change that. I've missed more Saturdays in the past 7 years than I did the previous 30. It is what it is.
October 17th, 2016 at 10:49 PM ^
This.
It's one of the reasons I hate noon games and even WD will too one day.
Kid activities are usually mostly over by a 3:30 game
October 17th, 2016 at 11:45 AM ^
I did not expect this but am pleasantly surprised
October 17th, 2016 at 11:45 AM ^
Attending a funeral that Saturday, so I will take any tips on how best to avoid any spoilers so I can enjoy the game later that day.
October 17th, 2016 at 11:47 AM ^
I'm not trying to be insensitive but I've never known of someone planning a funeral multiple weeks in the future.
October 17th, 2016 at 11:50 AM ^
It was, in both cases, that the deceased lived far away and was "brought home" for the service and burial.
October 17th, 2016 at 11:52 AM ^
I've heard all of Columbus is planning one for 11/26, also at noon, coincidentally
October 18th, 2016 at 9:16 AM ^
to obliterate Michigan on 11/26. They are very convinced this will happen.
BTW...the RMS Titanic was declared unsinkable prior to its first Atlantic crossing.
October 17th, 2016 at 1:21 PM ^
when you have out of state relatives that want to be there for the memorial, and especially if an autopsy is to be done. It's more common than you might think, unfortunately...
October 17th, 2016 at 3:52 PM ^
allows a lot more flexibility with timing (if the deceased would otherwise be presented) and makes it somewhat common for funerals with a lot of out of state relatives to be planned weeks in the future - and on a weekend when more people can attend.
October 17th, 2016 at 4:11 PM ^
My neighbor works for a funeral home and he told me that funerals keep getting longer after death because of improvements in embalming fluids. Thanks, Art, I wondered when that would come up in conversation.
October 17th, 2016 at 6:28 PM ^
It's the main reason Paterno was able to keep coaching for so long.
October 17th, 2016 at 11:48 AM ^
We'll all be watching a funeral.
October 17th, 2016 at 11:51 AM ^
This is a horrible joke that I also came here to make so I upvote you, Rescue_Dawn.
Also, I send my condolences to the family of the above MGoBlogger. I am sorry that my humor is not more appropriate.

I've watched at least three games this year later than broadcast. If you have an iphone, set it to "do not disturb". You will also have to commit to not looking at your phone at all until you're caught up with the game. I set my DVR, then put my TV on a different, non-sports channel so that there's no chance I catch the bottom-line score.
Good luck, and sorry about your reasons for delay.
October 17th, 2016 at 12:17 PM ^
I'm weak - no way I could do it. If I couldn't watch, I would at least listen to Brandstatter/Dierdorf. For some reason, I feel the need to watch sports live and just can't get into watching a game on DVR after it was played.
October 17th, 2016 at 4:17 PM ^
I think the best strategy is to drv the game and start watching it about 40 after it starts. If you blow through the pregame, commercials and halftime you can catch up by the 4th quarter and watch that live. This minimizes time, the possibility of spoilers and also let's you catch the most important part live.
One thing to remember, even "live" has a delay. So you're just adjusting the amount of delay.
October 17th, 2016 at 12:26 PM ^
I did it for the Wisconsin game and I was very worried somebody was going to ruin it for me. I work in retail, so it was very possible that any number of customers could've mentioned the game. Somehow nobody texted me about it, either.
October 17th, 2016 at 12:38 PM ^
I don't even use the DND feature. Just turn it off completely.
