Minnesota Game Time

[Big Hawk D-Port]

It looks like a bad week of games for the BIG, so maybe this could be a later kickoff time? A lot of you guys are good at predicting these things. Anyone care to venture a guess?

It's in Minneapolis so it's most likely going to be a 2:30 kick (or later).

My guess since the weather shouldn't be a factor is a 2:30 game. Both teams should be coming into the game with decent records.

Never assume the 230 slot with Ohio State playing.

BTN can show games at 230 now.

Id doubt it would get to BTN. If ESPN doesnt select it first for the 230 slot, they most certainly will at one of the 11am windows

OSU plays Indiana, who actually could be undefeated at the time and they will be playing in the Shoe.

MSU is also playing BYU which could be a night game I suppose.

All of which leaves ESPN 2 at 11. But I'm not sure how BTN factors in and what they might choose.

A night game at least seems unlikely.

True about the game probably not falling to BTN.

But the ABC exclusivity window is gone, and now ESPN sometimes has B1G games at 230 or 330.

Bottom line, there are more chances at 230 games nowadays.

Gotcha. Did not know that. Thats good news

I doubt we get a time slot until 2 weeks before the game. They will want to see all of the potential games, and which teams have upset other teams, are undefeated, or have been upset before they pick the time slot.
