Gopher game on Big Ten Network

[Gully]

11AM kickoff...not very good for tailgating, etc.

Good for people who's daughter is getting married at 3:00 that afternoon. I will need to make arrangements with the sports bar 4 blocks from the church. :D BTW, anyone know if the game is only on the Big Ten network, or will it also be on Fox Sports North?

But a HUGE recruiting opportunity! Anyone have an idea of how many households the BTN reaches?

In the twin cities Comcast is the major cable provider and we all know that story. A lot of people do have dishes, however.

From the BTN website:

"The Big Ten Network has recently entered into carriage agreements with every one of the top alternative video, satellite and telephony-based video suppliers that currently provide local service within Big Ten's eight-state footprint, as well as another 140 or so smaller, community-based cable systems. In the past week alone, the network has added approximately 650,000 subscribers. The Big Ten Network now reaches more than 30 million homes, becoming the only new network in cable or satellite television history to surpass 30 million homes in its first 30 days. In fact, no other new cable or satellite network has surpassed 30 million homes in its first year, and only five others have achieved that milestone within their first two years."

Damn...I'm hardly awake by that time. How can you play football at 11?

The Bison game is not guaranteed to be in HD. Only Ch 220 is in HD and the BTN has 4 channels. I hope it is, but odds are they will save Ch 220 for a conference match-up.

Which projector do you have Vick? I've got a BenQ PE7700.
