These are the number of times these teams played 11am games last fall. So how does "deserve" carry any merit when discussing the early start.
Wyoming game- 7pm game- BTN (Yay???)- Embarrassing game for how close it was, impressive offense from us.
Southern Miss- 5PM game- BTN, Its Southern Miss....
UCLA- 11AM game BUT its on ABC.... PISS down our leg.
SDSU- 5 PM game on BTN (Yay???)
Illinois- 11AM game- ESPNU (worse than BTN)
Purdue- 11AM game- BTN
Minnesota- 11AM game, ESPN!!!!!!!- Piss down our leg once again.
Northwestern- 2:30 game, BTN
Michigan- 2:30 game, ESPN!!!! For once, we win on a national spotlight. We got this time slot because the two top 3 winningest teams facing eachother.
Michigan State- 2:30 game ABC!!!!! Guess what... another chance we get to piss down our leg. Embarrassment. The ONLY reason we got this slot was because of MSU.
Penn State- 2:30 game, BTN
Iowa- 11AM game, ABC!!!!! Lets face it, not many big games on that day. We should land this spot because of tradition and the name. Oh and guess what??? Yep thats piss going down our leg!
Georgia- 11AM game, ESPN2 and we finally perform!
6 11am game starts-
4 of those games on national television, we blow 2 of them! We went 1-3 until the Georgia game. There is no way we can count ESPNU as a "premeir" channel. Its lower than BTN on the totem poll.
7 games that started after morning
5 of them on BTN, because ESPN and ABC had better games to televise ALL day. We remaining two games that were on primetime, we dropped the ball against MSU and won against Michigan.
13 games in total:
3 on ABC- we go 0/3. This by far is the most "prestige" channel for us to be on, regardless of the time. I will take an 11AM game if we get televised here.
3 on ESPN/ESPN2- 2/3, with our most important coming against Georgia
6 games on BTN
1 on ESPNU
All 4 losses on primetime tv. Impressive and deserving I guess.... We should feel good that BTN wants us over the other remaining games that ESPN and ABC didn't and send the one they don't want to ESPNU.
