BTN doing it's own "Gameday" this fall?

[okaive]

Leaked schedule for the new show:

Week 1: Hawaii @ Michigan

Week 2: Tulsa @ Ohio St

Week 3: Colorado @ Michigan

Week 4 : Michigan @ Penn St

Week 5: Rutgers @ Ohio St

Week 6: BYU @ Mich St

Week 7: Ohio St @ Wisconsin

Week 8: Ohio St @ Penn St

Week 9: Michigan @ Mich St

Week 10: Nebraska @ Ohio St

Week 11: Michigan @ Iowa

Week 12: Ohio St @ Mich St

Week 13: Michigan @ Ohio St

So much for the "Different campus" each week.

I would also think that Nebraska/Oregon would be a lot more hype then anyone playing Colorado.

It was a joke schedule. Also, the first road-show is scheduled for 9/24, which is the first week of the conference schedule.

This is more attention for Nebraska, at least.

Maybe Dinarso will wear the mascot head of the team he picks. (Deliberate misspelling)

I kind of hope that it is so much like gameday that it's basically a parody. That would be hilarious.

I tweeted earlier that while the BTN has been a resounding success and the numbers are incredibly impressive - 10 years running, 60 million homes - you'd really hope to see more innovation and new/progressive ideas, and less "our version of what ESPN has been doing for a long time" products.

Although I agree that it looks like BTN and Fox Sports are mimicking ESPN by doing a pregame show a la College Gameday, I'm not really sure how they could do things differently. A pregame show is a pregame show is a pregame show much like an interview is an interview is an interview.

A show dedicated to B1G football, with some of the same content you'd see on ESPN, is different and good enough for me. I know the SEC has their own special version of College Gameday in the fall.

Bouncing back and forth between this and espn....that sounds like a big improvement to me for pregame time. Go B1G.

Yup. That's my thought as well.

Has anybody watched this yet? I usually work Saturdays so I can't watch pregame coverage of any kind.

Thoughts? Critiques?

They haven't started it yet. The one on September 24th is the first of the season. I think they're trying to stick with conference games.

 

[Landlord]

Yeah, it's for the conference schedule only.

Great idea ..........there's surely room for more than one "Gameday".

I love this--ESPN is just a mouthpiece for the games that are on their network. It will be nice to have a show more dedicated to the B1G.
