This would be nice but I won't hold my breath as BTN also has to air some/many (probably 4 or 5) of the 7 games that aren't on an ESPN Network.
Sounds like kickoff time for the season opener will be announced today
- Thread starter Local Shill
- Start date
I admit I was wrong. I never dreamed this would be on the Pac 12 network.

Not the most exciting games scheduled on September 3. The only conflicting games that would draw national attention are UCLA v. Texas A&M and LSU v. Wisconsin. This link has our game scheduled at 3 p.m., but maybe there is a shot it gets picked up by a national or local channel for fans on the East Coast.

I'd be very surprised if that happens, since they've never done that before to my knowledge. The Pac-12 Network is "national" despite nobody carrying it. They own the rights to this game. They'd probably benefit more by B1G fans screaming at their provider to carry the network than to sell the rights to a local cable channel.
They are probably hoping this happens..and might be a reason they scheduled and announced a national game on the network so early.
If it doesnt happen, i bet they let a local comcast affiliate pick it up, as the network is HQd in Comcasts studio in SF. SNY is a comcast affiliate.
I love the game time for our guys, much better than a 10 PM EDT kickoff. It might take some juice from the home crowd too. As a Dish subscriber, I get the Pac 12 network with my sports package so no issue there either.
If I was going to be there, I could see wanting a later start time.

I'm not following your logic. The network is wholly owned by the Pac-12. They only share a building with Comcast in SF. Comcast has no investment in the P-12N nor vice-versa.
True...but in sure theres a relationship there that might help, thats all im saying.
Quite the contrary - this is a very good time for our boys - I was worried that they'd do the night time thing again. That was a major factor in our OT loss to Fresno State in 2013 - Flood knew the players were out of gas, which is why he went for 2 - it had been a 4.5 hour game and was essentially 3 in the morning East Coast time for our guys.
Exactly.

I am going to Seattle to see the game and I am crying about the 11:00am start.
No wait a second, it's not on local TV in NJ/NY so I pumped about going to Seattle .
Yeah Baby !!!!!!!!!!

I'll be surprised if the game isn't picked up by a network with more market penetration in this area. Money to be made here. I also don't mind 11 am local time - hopefully, their fans are still sleepy and hungover and unable to cheer loudly, lol.
Accuweather only goes out to Aug 29 so we need to wait another week or so.

(I started to check out climatology for Seattle and found that ridiculous Accuweather link...assume that's where Husky got his numbers which would simply be the historical average, not a forecast...unlike Aug 29 :joy:)
I predict lots of pain (they are top 15, right?), lol. Seriously, go with climo. 9/3 average hi/low is 74/56F, which is quite nice and summers are quite dry in Seattle with less than 1" of rain per month in Jul and August and only 1.6" in September (and 9/3 is more like August). People think of Seattle as a very wet place, but it's a fair amount drier than our area, annually speaking.

Partly Cloudy. Partly Sunny. Chance of Rain.
The PAC12 Network is a complete failure and it is the PAC12 fault. They refuse to partner with a network. They are stubborn and want 100% ownership. They bring barely $1 million to their teams.
I hope you're right. The Pac-12 Network is on Dish as well as AT&T U-Verse (is that available in NJ?). I've read that the final offer by DirecTV / AT&T last year would have paid the conference between $35 -- $40 million per year, but they also requested campus rights (the Pac-12 wants $75 -- $100 million per year for what AT&T offered). How much would SNY pay for the rights for this game vs. how much RU fans would scream at DTV to carry the network is the issue. The reason I don't think the P12N will sell the rights to SNY is because the negotiations broke down after the college football season began in each of the last two or three years and will likely do so again this year unless they reach an agreement. Selling this game to SNY during the negotiations will hurt their bargaining power.
Pac-12 Network is channel 712 I believe on the Comcast Sports Tier. That is not a high def channel. No reason since no-one watches that channel out here.
While I'd take that over listening to Carlin, watching a football game in SD in 2016 would be brutal.
The game will be aired on the Big Board at TheYard@CollegeAve...bring a lawn chair , sit on the lawn, buy a surf taco or a Jersey Mikes and enjoy a full day of festivities
I assume the Olive Branch will figure out a way to stream the game live, with game sound, as usual. Paging @InGregITrust...
Unless he switches to the Dish Network or Pac 12 Network comes to an agreement with DirecTv, I don't see how that's possible. Correct me if I'm wrong.
You can't get Comcast in New Brunswick.
We have state of the art technology and our tech consultants and IMG are working with the PAC10 network to ensure that we are able to live stream the game. AS a back up plan I can have DISH Network installed on 10 days notice...#TheYard
