It looks like the Gophersports football schedule is updated and is showing a 2:30 start for the Maryland game.
 


Nice, day game, still can bring the kids if weather isn't horrific.
 

Sunny side bench option is on the table.
 



I would guess if we beat Rutgers and Maryland beats Indiana, we have a chance to be either the ABC or ESPN game in that slot. Otherwise, it will be ESPN2

Actually, the Michigan-Notre Dame game will surely be the ABC game in that slot.
 






Pumped about the 2:30 time. Win a kickball championship in the morning, have a couple hours still to tailgate, then game time... :)

So dumb.

Wisc and Ohio St. should have been the night game, way bigger match up IMO.

Fox has paid extra money to get pick of a noon eastern prime time game. Trying to own that time slot with big rankings. That is their strategy.
 

So if Wisconsin-OSU is an earlier start and Michigan-Notre Dame is the night game, you'd think we have a fairly good shot to be the ABC game against Maryland, right?

Yes and no, they bought it but


I think it is more so Fox has a world series game scheduled for that night. So yeah they bought that slot but the driver for it all was their own scheduling IMO.

No, PSU vs MSU is ABC.
 

will we see an 11:00 kickoff for a Gopher game this season? What a great year for tailgating.

Nov 9, Fox could feature Penn St @ Minn or Iowa @ Wisconsin in their 11am premier time slot.
