Coverage Map for WMU Game - ABC in Midwest Only
On the second page of this PDF file, you can find the coverage map for saturday's game vs. WMU. For those of you who still do not have cable on the east coast, it looks like you are out of luck, as the game will be on ESPN 2

Edit: New for 2011, all reverse mirror games will be broadcast in HD. No more SD only games for this year.

Those maps are BS. Where the hell is Puerto Rico?
September 1st, 2011 at 7:29 AM ^
It is located in the Caribbean and lies between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, at 18º 15' N and 66º 30' W

Uh Dude, you are wayyyy off. It is South by South East of Bolivia last time I checked.

obviously not important enough to put on a map/allow voting

As a territory of the U.S. they have certain rights but not full rights. Seems that most people on the island choose to keep the status quo, yes some want independance, some want statehood, but the majority seem to stick with the territory. <shrugs> If that is what they want.

PC term is commonwealth or in Spanish it's "estado libre asociado". What's interesting is i'm pretty sure that if someone born in PR moved to, say, NYC, they'd be able to vote in federal elections. If someone born in say, South Bend, moves to PR and lives there permanently, they can't vote for in federal elections.
September 1st, 2011 at 9:21 AM ^
Whatever, you live in South Bend.

Thank you. I was searching all over for this today.
September 1st, 2011 at 7:46 AM ^
You were looking fort Puerto Rico? Head due south, take a left and stop when you get to the remains of Miguel Cotto's jaw. You can't miss it!!
September 1st, 2011 at 2:54 AM ^
Was just in espn and they hadn't updated.
<br>
<br>Thx
September 1st, 2011 at 3:00 AM ^
So is the game gonna be on abc or espn2, here in Michigan?
September 1st, 2011 at 11:54 AM ^
123, ABC, 123...
September 1st, 2011 at 3:18 AM ^
Isn't the game on ESPN 3? Its listed on their lineup.
September 1st, 2011 at 3:22 AM ^
yes. it may be blacked out in areas it's on abc though.
September 1st, 2011 at 5:05 AM ^
Ah. Gotcha.
September 1st, 2011 at 8:57 AM ^
Not true. Will be on espn 3 nationally.
September 1st, 2011 at 9:47 AM ^
What are you basing this on? I just went to the ESPN3 football schedule for Saturday, and it clearly says "subject to blackout" for the WMU game. And when I click on the link for "subject to blackout," it says "We're sorry. This event is blacked out in your area" (I'm in Ann Arbor).
September 1st, 2011 at 11:24 AM ^
I stand corrected. It must be a game on your local ABC station thing. I was unaware that espn 3 would not duplicate a local ABC broadcast.
September 1st, 2011 at 3:25 AM ^
The game will be on ABC in the midwest, ESPN2 everywhere else (hopefully Puerto Rico too). It will ALSO be on ESPN3 which, as we should all know, is an online channel.
September 1st, 2011 at 3:26 AM ^
September 1st, 2011 at 3:34 AM ^
a channel on justin.tv should be streaming it
this has been asked multiple times before. search the blog...
September 1st, 2011 at 3:56 AM ^
If you're outside the US, ESPNPlayer should show it, they show all ESPN3 games. It's not free, though. Between this and a season's pass Michigan content on Bigtenticket, it ends up costing about $200 to get all of Michigan's football games (NBC streams ND games for free) and most basketball games.
It's a huge improvement from what it was like 10 years ago, though, when we had to order the football games from a company in Switzerland and wait a week for them to arrive in the mail on a VCR tape. Then you had to try to avoid finding out the score all week. Now worst case I have to wait until the morning to watch an on demand stream.
2 days to go. Go blue.
September 1st, 2011 at 5:10 AM ^
Is the company you're referring to called Pontel? My family used to order those years ago while living in the Philippines and Singapore. We still have a full VHS set of the 1997 season floating around somewhere. At one point I thought that set might be worth something, or at least a rarity. Then YouTube happened.
You're right though...I'm still living overseas and the game watching situation has been getting better and better every year.
September 2nd, 2011 at 6:28 AM ^
Yep, Pontel it was. Great service, I'm forever grateful, but fortunately no longer needed.
September 1st, 2011 at 3:55 AM ^
Espn messed this up. Does anyone on the east coast care about Minnesota or USC.
September 1st, 2011 at 7:11 AM ^
Since Jerry Kill took over Gophers jerseys are the hottest selling item in the big apple. The tide is really turning and if their jersey sales are any indication, they will conquer Troy by a score of 65-2.
September 1st, 2011 at 10:15 AM ^
I was thinking the same exact thing. I live in NYC and know a ton of Michigan fans. On Long Island (where I am from) Michigan is perennially a hot school, and has a huge support base. Sure, USC is a national program as well (and certainly has been better than us in recent years), but there is not a huge USC interest out here.
Now, in the end, who cares - both are televised in HD. But, this weekend, many in NY will still not have cable because of the storm, meaning that they can watch ABC but not ESPN2. So, agree, poor choice (as usual) by the WWL.
September 1st, 2011 at 5:33 AM ^
Was hoping that would be available soon.
September 1st, 2011 at 6:49 AM ^
4 out of 5 new yorkers do NOT want to watch the gopher get violated by USC.
E-fact.
September 1st, 2011 at 7:32 AM ^
FWIW Texans could really care less about USC. There are more Michigan fans here than there are USC.
September 1st, 2011 at 7:47 AM ^
who's callin this bad boy. Are we getting some Millen action? By my count, Herbie and Brent on SNF, Ness and Black as BSU .v Georgia, that would seem to leave Sean M. and Millen for either Minnesota v. SC or UM. Who the hell is fourth in command now? Franklin got smoked out. I don't think Patrick still around.

Mike Patrick, Craig James & Jeannine Edwards. And on an unrealtated note, did anybody else hear that Craig James killed 5 hookers at SMU?
September 1st, 2011 at 8:23 AM ^
scrapped Patrick too. I guess he is not that bad, Britney Spears aside.
And it was six hookers, he also paid for their abortions prior to killing them, stretched for far too long during his summer workouts, and traded SMU jerseys for ink. It was a whole big thing.
September 1st, 2011 at 8:28 AM ^
thought that was Nevin Shapiro?
September 1st, 2011 at 8:32 AM ^
No it was def. Craig James. Quit spreading rumors.
September 1st, 2011 at 9:19 AM ^
Nevin Shapiro wouldn't have the gall to hire political p.r. firms to run off a college football coach. He does have some standards.
September 1st, 2011 at 8:49 AM ^
Mike and Jeanine in the booth and leave Craig on the field?
September 1st, 2011 at 11:48 AM ^
On the actual field left in front of a rampaging group of Martin, Lewan, Molk, RVB and Roh, with M-Rob coming in to deliver the hammershot.
September 1st, 2011 at 9:41 AM ^
I was hoping it would be on ABC here in Kansas. I'm probably the only person who cares in this state anyways. Too many Jayhawks and Wildcats around...
September 1st, 2011 at 9:42 AM ^
Interesting (at least to me) to see that ESPN included the broadcast schedule for Long Horn Network on that schedule.
September 1st, 2011 at 9:44 AM ^
So Alaska and Hawaii get to watch the game and I don't? The fuck? It better be on one of their alternate channels.
September 1st, 2011 at 12:43 PM ^
I'm not exactly sure what you meant by this. Alaska and Hawaii get Minnesota/USC on ABC and Michigan/Western on ESPN2. Same as Florida.
September 1st, 2011 at 12:15 PM ^
Whew! I was worried St. Louis wouldn't be covered.
September 1st, 2011 at 12:42 PM ^
"Edit: New for 2011, all reverse mirror games will be broadcast in HD. No more SD only games for this year."
That's awesome news! I'd been waiting to hear if they were going to FINALLY make this change. This irritated me a lot the last few years and it never made sense. I'm glad they finally did this. Thank you for posting this.
September 1st, 2011 at 4:07 PM ^
No joke. It was brutal having the reverse mirror on regular espn/espn2 while they played espn news on the HD channel. Ugh.
