Schedule Update

Post by mbenecke »

The MAC/BGSU both released some information regarding kickoff times and television broadcasts for the upcoming football season. For the games not listed with any additional info, they are expected t be announced within 12 days of the game by the school, the conference, or the network. The updates are as follows:

9/2 @ Michigan State 12:00pm, ESPNU
9/9 vs. South Dakota 6:00pm, ESPN3
9/16 @ Northwestern
9/23 @ Middle Tennessee
9/30 vs. Akron
10/7 @ Miami
10/14 vs. Ohio (HC) 3:30pm, TBA
10/21 vs. Northern Illinois
10/31 @ Kent State 7:30pm or 8:00pm, ESPNU/ESPN2
11/7 @ Buffalo 7:30pm, ESPNU/ESPN2
11/15 vs. Toledo 7:00pm or 8:00pm, ESPN2/ESPNU/CBSSN
11/21 @ Eastern Michigan 7:00pm ESPNU/ESPN3

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.

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!

All is for the best in this best of all possible worlds.
