Huskers vs Huskies on ABC

[Saunders]

Nebraska's game at Washington on Sept. 18 will be televised on ABC, with kickoff set for 2:30 p.m.

The announcement was made Tuesday by ABC and the Pac-10 Conference.

It's the second Husker game of the 2010 season that we know will be on television. Nebraska's Thursday night contest at Kansas State on Oct. 7 will be televised by ESPN.

Nebraska has fared better in the light of day against the Huskies. Last time Nebraska visited Seattle in 1997, the Huskers beat No. 2 Washington 27-14 during an afternoon kickoff. Scott Frost had a big-time first half a week after some were saying Frankie London should be the quarterback.

The trip to Seattle in 1992 wasn't near as pleasant. That game kicked off at 9 p.m. central time and Washington unloaded on the Huskers 29-14.

When Washington is playing well, Husky Stadium is one of the more difficult places to play. The Huskies were 5-2 at home last year with wins over USC, Arizona, Washington State and California.

This just goes to show why our TV contract blows. A lower ranked Wisconsin gets a crappy ASU team at home, and they get a national broadcast...

Normally the morning and afternoon games are regional. The ABC night games are normally national.

Yeah I agree. Here's the BCS "competition" for that day.

 

Clemson at Auburn (Probably CBS)

Georgia Tech at North Carolina (Probably ESPN)

Iowa at Arizona (Probably Evening ESPN2)

[Overland Park Husker]

Notre Dame vs Michigan St already has the 8PM slot on ABC

[VA Husker Fan]

Notre Dame at Michigan St and Also Texas at Texas Tech already have the ESPN/ABC night spots. There's also games like Arizona St at Wisconsin, Maryland at West Virginia, and a couple others that will probably have enough regional interest that ours won't be national. Probably won't be long before sites like http://mattsarzsports.com/football2010.aspx and http://espn.go.com/college-football/schedule/_/week/3 are updated with these games.

[Overland Park Husker]

Texas vs Texas Tech will be on one of the ESPN channels. I'd look for one of the Big 10-PAC 10 match ups to be one of the other 2:30 ABC game (probably Iowa vs Arizona)

You forgot Arkansas at Georgia and Florida/Tennessee (probably the 330 CBS game).

Yep we are, I was really hoping for a night game. Our son has a football game

Friday night so we are flying out Sat. morning. Landing at 10:40 AM. Meeting friends

that will already be out there. I told the wife looks like my tailgating will be on the

plane.

This is great news for a couple of reasons.

 

1. No PPV.

 

2. 2:30 pm games = a whole day of drinking.

SEC games aren't on ABC. They only are on ESPN or CBS, that's why I didn't include them. Also, Clemson at Auburn can probably be removed because it is @ Auburn, which means they are they host school so no ABC.

Yep, I'll start partying around 9am, then when we whoop their cans, I can keep partyin all night.

 

 

Although I was hoping it wouldve been a night game. At least it not an 11am game, not that it was possible, being 9am on the west coast.

I imagine this will be a regional broadcast which is bad news for me. I am moving to Big 11 country at the end of the month.

[craigsker]

I live up I-5 from Seattle in Everett and can't wait to welcome the Husker faithful to the most beautiful state in the Pacific Northwest. I'll be there too. Go Big Red!
