OSU at Michigan State in HD?

[TvPat]

ABC has made their 12 day selections for their October 14 3:30 regional games:
- Ohio St. at Michigan St.
- UCLA at Oregon
- Iowa St. at Oklahoma OR Missouri at Texas A&M

No word on which (or if any) game will be in HD. The Ohio State game will probably be shown in most of the eastern half of the country, including New York and Chicago, so it would probably be the first choice due to the most viewers.

Speaking of OSU this morning I bugged my bosses' bosses' bosses' boss for some free tickets and he came through. I'm going to the game this weekend.

According to Matt Sarz, OSU at Michigan State will be in HD on ABC.

I'll take a stab at the Big Ten selections on November 4 and 11. These are strictly guesses on my part. Keep in mind that Ohio State has not been on ESPN or ESPN2 all year, so they may want to grab the number 1 team in the country if they can.

Saturday November 4
Indiana @ Minnesota Noon
Purdue @ Michigan State (ESPN Plus, Noon)
Penn State @ Wisconsin (ABC, Noon)
Ohio State @ Illinois (ESPN2, Noon)
Northwestern @ Iowa (ESPNU, Noon)
Ball State @ Michigan

Saturday November 11
Purdue @ Illinois (ESPN Plus, Noon)
Temple @ Penn State
Ohio State @ Northwestern (ESPN2, Noon)
Michigan @ Indiana (ESPN, Noon)
Wisconsin @ Iowa (ABC 3:30)
Minnesota @ Michigan State (ESPNU, Noon)

I would imagine 11-0 Ohio State vs. 11-0 Michigan would be the 8:00pm game on the 18th. I know it's 3:30 now...but I'd fall over and die if it wasn't moved to Prime Time. Not that it changes the (HD) part of it at all - I'm sure it'll be in HD either way - I'm just saying.

Now that Florida lost - and we'll beat Michigan on the 18th - chances are good OSU will play a 1-loss team in the BCS. That kinda sucks...I was rooting for Florida so we could whoop-up on them and shut all the "SEC IS THE BEST CONFRENCE IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL" people up.

The November 18 Saturday night ABC game is California at USC, plus an "ACC, Big 12, or Big East" game. Ohio State has already declined to move the Penn State home game to 8 pm, citing that they are already scheduled for two night games this season. There is no way they'll move Michgan from 3:30. Even with that start time, don't park your car on Chittenden.

You may be right...we'll see if all of the "GAME OF THE MILLENIUM" hype (I've already seen it called that on CBS Sportsline) will change their minds....well, that and $$$ from ABC...I'm sure they'd KILL to have that game in the 8pm spot...USC and Cal is kinda *eh*.

Anyone know what channel ESPNU is on Time Warner? I want to see next week's game. If I can't get it, I'm stuck entertaining my mother-in-law.

It looks like you are stuck, pal.

Unless ESPN comes to their senses in the next few days.
