Will the OSU game stay at 12:00?

Submitted by wolverine1987 on

Sorry, unusual post, but looking for a quick answer: it seems that often game times get changed based upon TV's whims. Currently it's a 12:00 start, and I just discovered an appointment I made a couple months ago for 1:00, which obviously much now change. I would hate to change it to later and then have the game change on the appt that has to be that day.

I have never heard of it changing on an arbitrary whim.  I think the only reason it would change is due to an unforeseen circumstance (like if the venue is suddenly unavailable, etc) but not because the broadcast company changed their minds.

Unless you live on the west coast and have unholy kids soccer coaches that have f'ing practice on Saturday mornings.  And goddamn comcast xfinity mobile app doesn't broadcast network channels.  So I am completely fucked and have to pray my friends respect that I am in the bubble until I can get home and try to catch up on dvr as fast as possible.   I love noon game when I lived in Michigan but on the west coast with kids, 9am games suck ballz.   FUCK!

My wife takes my son to Chinese school Saturday mornings from roughly 9am to noon. He's starting to take more of an interest in sports (I caught him watching Minnesota playing UL-Monroe in basketball the other day?!? Even I'm not that crazy about sports,) so I may start DVR'ing the early games so I can watch with him. But for now, I like being able to watch the games in peace and quiet so I can really focus in on the inane commentary of Brock Huard and Bob Windshield.

Hopefully not in future years. I would love to be a part of a #1 vs #2 game at the Big House half under the lights. I can only imagine what the atmosphere was like that day.

Galloway is a guest on College Football Live right now. He spoke for five minutes and said NOTHING. I have very low expectations for him, and I am somehow still surprised by this spectacle of buffoonery. I really don't understand how this dude has a job.

This is like a trapped guest on the Titanic asking whether the ship will sink sooner or later. Whatever the time, you're doomed by appointment with destiny.

Unfortunately It will be played at noon and michigan will have a slightly less home field advantage than if it were 3:30.

how the TV contracts work.

 

Michigan/OSU was selected for the noon ABC/ESPN slot,  for 3:30 ABC/ESPN selected PSU/MSU  (ABC/ESPN means ABC if you're in the conference footprint, ESPN if you're out of  it)

 

ABC/ESPN place 2 games on their 6 day hold which means they'll select a channel and time slot later.    Stanford/ND and USC/UCLA they will select one of those two games for their 8pm time slot, the other will get an ESPN slot.  They are both west coast timezone games and ESPN needs to fill a 7/730 time slot, ABC its 8pm time slot..

 

Moving the Michigan game at this point would require moving 2 games if they moved to 3:30 and 3 games if they moved to 8pm.

Changing the game will not happen.

So I'm trying to understand the excuse.  Even if it was a scheduled 3:30 kick shouldn't you be well into pregame ritual by 1? C'mon now!  Think we're still in the RRod or Hoke years here?!  Pick yo game up!
