I'm certainly not complaining but I thought they put games that may produce higher ratings in the 3:30 time slot.  Is that not the case?  Aside from people in the midwest this game isn't going to attract too much national attention.

They are probably hoping for a repeat of last years Mich-Ill game.  I know I'm certainly not rooting for a repeat... I know this doesn't pertain to the thread, but I got a REALLY good feeling that the defense shows up something fierce for this game.  Gotta feelin...

yeah you're probably not far off with that feeling.  Illinois hasn't been scoring much lately and our defense has been improving on a game-to-game basis throughout the course of the year. Home field advantage will probably give them some help but in the end I think Michigan wins 35-14, something in that area.

I thought that too.  Except in reality no one wants to watch LSU play Western Kentucky this week.  WKU will be anything but Hilltoppers in this game, more like Hillbottomers.

Beyond the fact that who would be filming that, and the wrestling shirt take off, look how the "victim" fails his arms after getting hit....to conveniently break his fall. 5 fakes out of 5.

The game is on espn3 anytime that it's on espn or espn2. If there is regional abc coverage of a game, espn3 is blacked out in those areas but is available for those regions that get the game on espn. So no espn3 if you live in yellow but yes espn3 if u r in purple

who has the call for the M game.   I have been searching for it cannot find it.  I bet ABC still does not go who is going where.  They would never admit it, but I bet there has been consideration to Brent and Herby calling the PSU game.
