Go Gophers!!
 

ESPN/ABC announce B1G prime-time slate (no Gopher games)
No surprise
 

Boy are they going to be sorry when they are cramming to learn how to spell "Shabazz", and how to get human interest stories together about the Gophers in time for the B1G championship game, only to learn they are too late anyway because it is on FOX.
 

Boo! Notre Dame and Penn State twice. Boo.
I predict we get one next year.
 

No Nebraska or Mich State?

This is a pretty disappointing slate and it pains me to see Notre Dame in the first two games. Notre Dame vs. Purdue? Really? Must be a weak week (haha)
 


The Big Ten Twitter feed said that they're releasing more night games later - either this week or next.
 

Should we organize a Twitter lobbying effort to persuade BTN to schedule a Gophers game?
 


We already know and that most likely that Minnesota non conference game with UNLV will be on the BTN at night. that about the only night game we know so far.
 



How is it that your program can be hit with huge sanctions for a child abuse scandal yet you somehow still seem to get a couple of nationally televised games at prime time?? Strange world we live in.
 


According to the blog, Big Ten Network will have around 14 night games. Announcement in about a week.
