LOL - ABC picked us up for the 8pm primetime slot vs UConn

Another long day of waiting, boys.

No clue why we got that slot, but we did.

Our guide here is showing Kansas State vs Texas here in Indy area. Hoping that changes in the next couple days.

It's good, because my wife has work, and she did this week too, so we watched yesterday's game at 3:30 when she got home. I was able to avoid anything revealing the score, so the game was a surprise when I watched it.

Fish, what does ABC Indy do in that case? Is it a "mirror game" situation where it will be on ESPN2?

Mich translates into TV ratings.

No idea. ESPN2 and ESPNU are showing "College Football teams TBD" from 7pm to 10pm. Fingers crossed.

'fish, I would definitely assume/basically you can count on the games being mirrored.

It's kinda funny, even our start times are better than sparty.

I'd be surprised if that wasn't updated. Being in Indy )BIG country), I assume you'll get the Michigan game.

Not looking good right now, but there is still time.

They seen the Akron game and want to be there when Michigans defense blows up and UCONN possible upset of the Wolverines, I know I sound like a troll but last weeks debacle truly pissed me off, I been getting grief from people and I pissedI've been put in this situation.

I work with Spartan, Alabama and O$U fans. I could not imagine if they lost. That would give Michigan the 3 biggest upsets in college football histroy. They would never live it down. I am getting so much crap today. LOL. Oh well...

It doesnt look like the game will be on Directv for me. Hopefully that changes for all of us.

I'm going to attempt to get it on watch ESPN or ESPN3. Hook up a HDMI cable from computer to tv. I'll do a test run tonight.

I know it works. Do you have to pay for ESPN3, or is it covered if you have ESPN Insider?

Not sure. I think it is a free app.

After Michigan's loss in basketball to Penn St.

Really does anyonefeel confident about these guys going into the tourny.... they are soposed to be making a statement that they are ready for the match, seriously anyone that thinks they will go farther the the sweet 16 is disallusional . and now they will probably be a 3-4 seed 0-16 0-16 unreal...

I'm not saying this just to sound like a homer but I really believe we will see a different Michigan team than we saw on Saturday.

UCONN only averages about 200 passing yards and 85 rushing per game.

UCONN can't contain the run either so I expect M to run it often and control the clock.

A more determined team. A team that won't look past UConn like they did Akron. At least I hope.

Actually, I feel a little sorry for UCONN. Michigan is going to take it out on the Huskies and try and make up for the Akron game. Shocked

I fully expect Michigan to dominate as well. From what I know about UConn they are horrible now, but if this was the same UConn team as in 2010 (still not very good but not too bad) we might be in trouble. I somewhat worry about our guys trying to do too much. This being a road game helps omit distractions, especially because of the puny stadium.

That being said Michigan 45 UConn 17. The D will over pursue a bit and give up a couple of big plays. Devin has learned that he can't do it all himself. that will allow for longer, more methodical drives.

It's not often that a coach, Hoke or any other, calls a late-afternoon SUNDAY practice (in full pads, no less).

And it's even LESS OFTEN that the players probably wanted him to do it (the Taylor and the captains anyway) more than he did...

Good vibes. Obviously not a man in Michigan's program is at all happy with Saturday's "victory".

Bo-like move for sure (and I don't mean Pelini). Are their NCAA restrictions now on the number of full contact practices you can have?

It's a free application if you get ESPN through your cable company.

When you go to watchespn.com and click on something to watch, it will prompt you to select your cable service provider and log in directly with them.

In other words, I get my cable from Comcast. So, through the watchespn site, I have to sign in with my Comcast login credentials.

if you don't already have a username/password for your cable company, set that up first or you won't get anywhere.

Yeah, I'm screwed, I have DirecTv and they are not one of the providers.

I'm hoping BDUBS has it on GamePlan.

I'm not sure but I think that there is.

It looks like the PAC-12 does (only 2 per week in-season) but I haven't found anything on the B1G yet...

http://www.buildingthedam.com/ncaa-football/2013/7/26/4560448/full-details-on-pac-12-policy-limiting-contact-in-practices

"C. Fall / In-Season Practices—Pac-12 institutions shall only have two (2) full-contact practices per week during the football regular season ("regular season" being defined as the period between the first regular season game and the last regular season game or Pac-12 Championship Game (for participating institutions)."

I guess the B1G doesn't mandate it, also the NCAA doesn't have any requirements regarding full-pads either...
