Mizzou Game

I hate 330 games on ABC...that is until next year. The big10 gets priority in HD coverage so the game will most likely be bumped to ESPN standard here in ohio....just like the game on sat was.

The Big Ten doesn't get priority. The game that is being shown on ABC that will be seen the most will be in ESPN SD. The other reverse mirror game will be in HD. The reason why the NU/Texas game was in SD was because over 75% over the country was seeing the game on ABC so only a small amount would have to watch a game in SD.

 
what do we have to do to get a night game again? Mizzou could be undefeated a week after knocking off the no. 1 team in the nation and we could be 7-1....

if we wouldve beat Texas, then we wouldve 2 night games in a row, maybe. Im thinkin A&M game will be our next chance at a night game.

Saw the 2 week forecast on accuweather. high of 52, low of 32. I wonder if that had something to do with it. I remember when we played KU at home in '08. FSN supposedly wanted to put it on at 6pm, but Tom said no as the forecast called for like 30 degree temps that day. Thats why it was an early PPV game, if i remember correctly.

Love the 2:30 games........my boys go to bed at 7:30 so if it's a night game I have to be quiet and watch it with the volume low so I don't wake them up. This way I can get loud and there are no issues with it.

Unless ABC had a prior agreement to broadcast mini-golf or some other non-sport during football season on a Saturday night.

Here in big10 country is where we had to watch the game in SD. HD on ESPN is only available if the if the big10 game has the majoritiy of the national coverage on ABC. The big10's contract with ABC/ESPN requires the big10 game to have national coverage. So if there are 3 games slated for 330 from 3 different conferences, the Big10 will always have the national broadcast, and always have an HD feed, where one of the other games from a different conference can be blacked out.

This week there are 3 games slated for ABC/ESPN - Iowa v Wisc, Neb v OkieSt, and Gtech v Clemson....one of those games will be blacked out. Im guessing this time it will be the Gtech game, but the Iowa v Wisc will have the majority % in coverage map.

Ive spent several years needing to purchase either college gameplan or watch through a net-stream to see nebraska games because of the contract that favors big10 and not bigxii
