Temple at Ohio AND Northern Illinois at Central Michigan are both that day as well. NIU/CMU could be the de facto West Division Championship Game, if NIU were to continue to win and keep pace with CMU. If they don't then that game loses it's importance, but it's still big for bowl positioning, etc. Temple at Ohio looks like a potential East Division Championship, if those two continue to win. That is one of the few games set in stone time-wise, at 2pm.
There's also Buffalo at Kent State, which is currently scheduled for tv as well, though since it also starts at 2pm it will likely get dropped by espnu and not be televised. Interestingly enough, NIU at CMU is currently NOT on tv, but the time says TBA. You can bet your bottom dollar that if a trip to Detroit is on the line, that game will get a primo spot, maybe even prime time on espn2, since there's no games currently scheduled on the 27th for the nighttime.
So yeah, it's not looking good for us to still be on tv for UT-BG, unless of course, the game is moved to either 11am (since Temple-Ohio is at 2pm), or to an evening start. If it's the evening, then we have to hope that NIU/CMU gets onto espn2 and not espnu, otherwise our game will overlap theirs and we'll be left out. I guess another possibility would be to have our game start at 5pm, after Ohio/Temple, and have NIU/CMU at 8pm. That's probably the best scenario of all, as everybody would make it to tv, though it would be an odd start time for us.
The game is either going to be at 11am on an ESPN family network (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU or ESPN Regional/360) or at 2pm not on an ESPN family network (but probably still on BCSN).
Why do you even bring up evening times? That would be like suggesting it could be played on Saturday.
Yeah not sure how he missed that press release about how it'll be at 11am or 2pm depending on TV, though it doesn't surprise me
Besides had a night start time for the game been possible they probably wouldn't have went ahead and scheduled the home women's hoops game for that day at 7pm

Cincy, it's good you pointed that out, no wonder they never considered moving the game to an evening start. We wouldn't want to encroach on any of our other athletic teams, certainly not basketball or hockey.
Looking at the schedule, the lady falcons take on UNC Greensboro on 11/27. Super sweet, I get to hit the Doyt and AA in the same day, can't remember ever doing that before.

The Bowling Green State University athletic department has announced that the Friday, Nov. 27 football contest versus the Toledo Rockets will begin at 2 p.m. inside Doyt L. Perry Stadium. The game will not be carried on ESPNU.

So, in other words....
"2pm, no TV"?
