Yes, I am very much looking forward to it. Unfortunately, Iowa may have sold its soul for that miracle ending as Iowa has not been the same team since. On the other hand, LSU seems to have gotten over the departure of Nick Saban ;)

BTN Success It became official this afternnon. Mediacom Statement - Big Ten Network For all the criticism the BTN and the Big Ten took, it has done remarkably well: Significant distribution on expanded basic in the Midwest. Increasingly wide availability on basic tiers (DirecTV...

I agree that the SEC announcement may have a been a factor as it indicated that the BTN will be the only BCS conference to have their own network for the forseeable future.

Or feasting on it, depending on your perspective :). Nothing beats 12 hours of Big Ten football every Saturday, starting with BTN pre-game show at 11:00 ET and ending with a prime time matchup on ABC or ESPN. :hungry:

Agreed. The SEC's arrangement with CBS provides with a national network platform that only Notre Dame can match. I strongly disagree. Outside of CBS, the SEC's television arrangements are not that great. In 2007, the SEC had 19 games on ESPN or ESPN, on par with the ACC (19), Big Ten (17)...

Other interesting items from this article: 1. The SEC is not getting any additional football coverage on CBS; they will remain at 14-15 games per year. I understand that the SEC was pushing for an increase in coverage including more prime time doubleheaders. 2. The SEC is getting less...

Yes, the one where Drew Pearson got away with blatant pass interference. :) Here is a summary of that game. Scout.com: History: Dallas Hail Mary

Wisconsin is 2-2 vs. Michigan the last four years, including a 37-21 thumping over Michigan last year that cost the Wolverines a share of the Big Ten title.

Long press release with all of the ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN Classic, ESPN360 and ESPN Radio game windows. Also, major increase in HD coverage as every ESPNU Thursday and Saturday game will be in HD. ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN360.com, ESPN Classic, ESPN Mobile TV and ESPN Radio...

Michigan State will be tough and could surprise this year. They have 13 returning starters, including QB Brian Hoyer and RB Javon Ringer. They also have a favorable schedule with Ohio State, Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Purdue and Iowa at home and a likelihood that Michigan will be down this year...

Papa is a good choice. Too bad Collinsworth is back as PxP. The NFL Network has better candidates in-house with Steling Sharpe and Mike Mayock. Last year those two teamed with Papa for the Insight Bowl and did a fantastic job. They had great knowledge of the game and chemistry but unlike...

Unknown. In 2005, the first year of ESPNU, ESPNU did a simulcast of many of the Big Ten ESPN regional syndication games with no blackout. In 2006, the last year of the old Big Ten agreement with ABC/ESPN, ESPNU had exclusive rights to many games. The possibility of the latter fact was a major...

Very possible, but the SEC could be leaving a lot of money on the table. The SEC reportedly has makes $63 million annually from its television deals. The Orlando Business Journal articles indicates that this amount will double so let's say the SEC will make $125 million from CBS/ESPN/Raycom...

Yes. Brewers net Sabathia for four prospects | Brewers.com: News

The Brewers are going for it all now, which is a good move. This trade provides the Brewers with the best starting rotation in the NL and two Cy Young calliber starters in Sheets and Sabastia that gives them an advantage in a short series in the playoffs. The Brewers are solid at every...

I see outstretched arms, but I don't see any jersey being grabbed ;). That was an amazing game; the coming out party of JaMarcus Russell. With that said, Iowa outplayed LSU for 3 1/2 quarters and deserved to win, even if it was on a fluke play :). Besides, Iowa football went downhill after...

Ditto. I am missing my daily MikeI EI schedule fix. ;)

Agreed. It could get real ugly if there is not a deal with Mediacom prior to that game.
