I remember the game, but not that it was on BTN ...
I also remember when THE Toledo Rockets beat TTUN as well ...
i figured it would be up as well with a countdown clock like when the SEC network launched. Guess they gonna wait til the launch tonight.
I have a bad feeling about this. If whatever button pusher and his empty suit boss is so incompetent as to botch the launch of the most significant new sports channel, and a major selling point over other providers, it shows a level of "not my job" and basic indifference that is hard to fathom.
Not exactly the same, but DirecTV botched the launch of SECN, failing to understand that the alt channel is not like the alts on the pro networks, for games blacked out locally, but everyone was supposed to get both feeds. Took them two weeks to fix it.

Not talking about the first game, but whether they used big conference matchups that would normally be a marquee game to help push the network like ESPN did with SECN and plan to do with ACCN.
I suppose they didn't, because back then the B1G's only contract was with ABC/ESPN, who had their pick of games. BTN had the leftovers, so there wasn't any opportunity for them to put OSU/PSU or Wisconsin/Iowa on BTN to help push lagging providers to pick it up. They didn't split their tier 1/2 games with Fox until the new contract started a couple years ago.
But the first game was still with Michigan, who is awful but still extremely popular. You're not going to find Ohio State vs Michigan on BTN. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the Duke-Carolina basketball games ended up on ACCN though.
Let's not do B1G. That's dumb. It's the Big 10.
I agree with the post about not being there at 6am ET - usually they are. Spectrum had the channel in their lineup yesterday. ACC Network is showing logos of the teams and stuff like that as filler until the launch, why not show us that just to let us know "yes, it's coming." Now, we're in the dark. That's the AT&T way.

What on earth does that have to do what I posted? That has nothing to do with ACC Network on Directv. My post is meaning that Directv will have channel 612 active at 6:00pm according to a chat person who claims to have spoke to someone who knows that. We will see 1 hour of the countdown and then the actual launch on the actual ACC Network on channel 612.

I have Xtra and Sports Pack and I have ACCN. I hope it's not just Sports Pack, that is terrible for them. Ok for me personally, but not most. I am also in an ACC market, due to Boston College and my receiver is "moved" to the Boston market if that matters at all.
