Late night games in November

"The Cougars will face the Vandals of the University of Idaho on Saturday, Nov. 12 at 7:15 p.m. MT on ESPN2. The BYU vs. New Mexico State game will be played the following Saturday, Nov. 19, on ESPNU. Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. MT"



sigh.......entering the freezer section of my season tickets.

It's going to be great!

Wow...two cellar games and ESPN is still picking them up.

Interestingly enough the remaining 3 games will be shown on ESPN - that must mean their is quite the viewership to warrant picking up these games. Looks like ESPN sees something in the Y that supports why they signed up for an 8 year deal.

Ya...and one of them on ESPN2 - not even relegating it to ESPNU. Not too shabby.



I don't mind night games. Although, I'd much rather have the night games in Sept or Oct. But at least this leaves most of the afternoon free for other things.

With the weather we have today, its going to he dang cold at those games.

ESPN picked up the games because they had already agree to this year, not because they are great games. the fact they got the worst times possible--915pm ET and 10pm ET goes to show the overall lack of interest in the games. ESPN needs content and they play SWAC games too, and those get crappy times as well.



This is the bad part of the ESPN deal. Night games in November just suck. If it was September, I am fine with it. But not in November. Bad enough it is two poor teams.
