Anyone have potential Big Game details? - fullmetal - 11-09-2015

I don't know where to look for these details, but what are the likely network and time details for Big Game this year?

Re: Anyone have potential Big Game details? - 82lsju - 11-09-2015

looks like game time will be announced 6 days before the game......

Depending on the outcome of this week's games Big Game could be the the first, second or third most desirable game for TV. 

So far the only game with a set kick-off time is

- UW@OSU at 3pm PT on the Pac-12 Network.

UPDATES

- Arizona @ASU 12:30pm PT on FS1
- Colorado @WSU 7:45pm PT on ESPN2

The games with kick-off TBD are

- USC @Oregon
- UCLA @Utah
- Big Game

This smells like a Pac12N game to me. Of course, one of the other networks might like the idea of having a top eight team, even if the opponent is an embarrassment.

Really?  This looks like probably the best (well, second best) game on the schedule.  Top-10 team against their rival who has a potential first round QB and was ranked earlier in the season.  UCLA-Utah is probably the more compelling game, but I think that's it.  Maybe you could say $C-Oregon, but that would really only have been compelling at the start of the season.  Arizona-ASU is just a crappier version of Big Game.  Honestly, we look primed for an evening ESPN or FS1 game, the main billing at night, hah.

Big Games at home for us seem to be evening time as of recent, so don't bet your money on an early kickoff.

I'm pretty sure the "rivalry" games are exempt from Pac-12 Network, or I should say, are required to be available nationally.

Wilner has a note on it here: http://blogs.mercurynews.com/collegesports/2015/11/09/cal-football-grading-the-week-70/

Quote:PLEASE NOTE: Kickoff time for Big Game will be a six-day selection by ESPN, meaning we should know Saturday night/Sunday morning. Available windows are 12;30, 5 and 7:30. The other options are USC-Oregon and UCLA-Utah.

I would personally be surprised if we were anything but 7:30, given the other two games.

Given Pac12's scheduling love fo us this year it wouldn't surprise me if it is announced on a Friday that it had been scheduled for Thursday at 7:45 AM.

We will almost certainly NOT be on P12 Network. 

mattsarzsports.com (which I use as an authoritative source for tv schedule) says options are (times are eastern):
California at Stanford - 3:30pm ABC/ESPN/ESPN2, 3:30pm FOX, 5pm ABC or 10:30pm ESPN

Thanks a ton, Spiny!

Re: Anyone have potential Big Game details? - fullmetal - 11-09-2015

I imagine that information is in the Google Doc that I can't access from work.  Thanks so much! :)

Not P12N.  It will be nationally televised by ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, or Fox

I thought I was going to make it to Big Game in person this year, but my sister booked a non-refundable pay in advance dinner at the ironically-named (at least for me) Lazy Be.ar.  Fingers crossed that Big Game is the early game.  My bet is that Oregon-$outhernCal gets the night game because that is of primary interest to a West Coast prime time audience.  Assuming we and Utah both win this weekend, Big Game and Utah-UCLA garner interest across the country from all the other 1 loss programs.

Lazy Bear is worth it. My wife and I have been four times and it's consistently been among the best meals I've had, included some really damn fancy ones on our honeymoon in Paris. That said, I thought tickets were transferable so if the worst comes to pass you might be able to work something out.

Also, the name is an anagram of the chef's last name, Barzelay.
