9/2 @ Michigan State 12:00pm, ESPNU
9/9 vs. South Dakota 6:00pm, ESPN3
9/16 @ Northwestern
9/23 @ Middle Tennessee

11/15 vs. Toledo 7:00pm or 8:00pm, ESPN2/ESPNU/CBSSN

Another interesting tidbit is that the MAC Championship game is on a Saturday this year, which could make that a very interesting day, with home hockey that night. Because of the national broadcast having to compete with other major conferences, might we see a noon championship kickoff from Ford Field? I just hope we are there!

Roll Along! 94 days until the season starts up in East Lansing!

Good stuff, but I doubt the networks will care if we have a home hockey game when determining the kickoff time.

LOVE that 6pm kickoff time for the home opener!! Beautiful. 94 days to go...

They definitely won't care. Lol.

I meant "interesting" as in driving up to Detroit for a possible early game, then rushing home for a hockey game that evening. That would be a heck of a day if we went 2-0!

Another update:

The game on 9/16 at Northwestern is now slated for a 7:30pm kickoff, which will be broadcast on Big Ten Network. We're hoping to extend our series lead over them to 3-0, so it should be a fun one. Go BG!

Just to clarify (because BG Athletics didn't), the Northwestern game time is 7:30PM ET, 6:30 Central.

Great time for the Northwestern game. I'll be there with a few other BG -> Chicago folks.

Middle Tennessee State announced today that the kickoff time for our game with them is at 7:00pm on Saturday, September 23.
