UM at MSU noon kick on BTN

Boo!(not you the noon kick)

Eff the BTN and the cable companies! I live in New Orleans and the BTN is not part of cable packages in these parts. To make it worse I'll be out of town that weekend in Florida and hoped that I would be able to catch the game on ESPN/2 or ABC, but now that looks to be out of the question. So now I'm pretty much screwed. When I emailed B10 about coverage in my area they told me to get satellite, thanks BTN!

I thought Michigan had 3 BTN games. That would be Eastern, Delaware State, and (Purdue, I would think > MSU). Does MSU on the BTN mean that aside from the Delaware State game, others will be on ABC/ ESPN2 or am I wrong about the 3 game limit on the BTN?

While I like later games, I agree in theory that a noon kick is beneficial for us.....an evening/late afternoon game would be tough in EL, especially for our young team. Hopefully MSU loses next week to Wisconsin and are so down from being winless this season that they won't be able to make it up for a noon kick. I like our chances better now.

Do we know where Indiana is televised yet?

Will be driving north on our way to Mackinac - was hoping for 3:30 cause there's no way I'm going to make it to the island for a noon start. Non-football spouse will object to listening to it on the radio (Don't ask me to give him up, he's a keeper.) Could maybe stream it on my phone if anyone knows what site. Mgoblue I can't use as it appears to require Windows Media Player.

From mgoblue.com How are football games selected by the networks? The games held the first few weeks of the season, as well as selected games later in the season, are picked prior to July 1. As the season goes on, ABC, ESPN and BTN will select their televised games under a rotation where half the time BTN gets the second selection and ESPN gets the third selection. ABC will always get the choice for the first game televised per week under either a twelve or six day window. After that, either ESPN or the BTN get the second pick. I bet BTN got 2nd selection for the October 3rd games. They love sticking it to fans, hoping that it will create angry fans who will call their local cable company and request BTN in their area. I request and requent and request, so far nothing . . .

So I am to believe by the programming schedule that the IU game is of more significance to the region than the MSU game? Isn't the IU game being broadcast on ESPN 2? Now don't get me wrong, any Big 10 game is not to be overlooked but it would seem as if the programming is backwards IMO.

Fuck Charter cable in Kzoo.

not going to listen to Frank Beckmann call the game? Tell your "hubby" wear some ear plugs. or use an ipod w/radio and headphones/buds. EDIT: sorry, I was responding to NotYOURMom

This could not be better.

sparty idiots to get liquored up. Noon kick in East Lansing is always fine with me. So what game is ESPN picking up instead?
