Utah Game Time?

**bringmagicback** · 09-21-2010, 11:19 PM

Does anyone have an idea if this will be a night game? I am praying it will be.

With Arkansas-Texas A&M, Missouri-Colorado and Texas Tech-Baylor that same day, I would say we probably won't be on TV and a 1 p.m. kickoff. All depends on what happens the next two weeks.

I actually think there is a pretty good chance the game is on TV. Remember that Utah is ranked #13 and playing on the road in a B12 stadium. Tech-Baylor would be my guess as not getting picked up.

You really think FSN would choose ISU-Utah over a conference game with two B12 South teams?

The two least cared about big 12 south teams, who are #3 and #4 in their own state (playing devils advocate)

Id probably pick the TTU-Baylor game though... i dont see that Utah one being a very good game unfortunately. And.. from a national perspective, while we are a big 12 team, Utah coming in here isnt the same as Utah coming into a big 12 venue where they've actually had some success of their own.

No one outside of Texas gives a crap about the Tech-Baylor game and that is even debatable. Utah-ISU is a essentially a Pac 10 vs. Big 12 match-up with one team highly ranked and hoping to make a BCS bowl.

Colorado-Mizzou is pretty bland too. I'd bet on Utah-ISU and A&M-Arkansas being on TV for sure.

Assuming the picks are made next Monday, you have:

**Baylor (3-1 with a win over Rice) vs. Texas Tech (2-1) -- at Dallas, in the Old Cotton Bowl
**Colorado (2-1) at Missouri (3-1 or 4-0)
Texas A&M (3-0) vs. Arkansas (3-1 with a loss to Alabama) -- at Cowboys Stadium
Utah (4-0 with a win over San Jose State) at Iowa State (2-2 with a win over UNI)

Right now, there are only two guaranteed TV spots. It's hard to argue ISU as one of the top two games that day.

i thought the new deal Bebbee got was going to put every game on tv?

**clonomaniac** · 09-22-2010, 08:55 AM

Utah ISU should be televised. If they don't, we will be royally screwed. Or maybe not, we may not want to be embarassed again on FSN.

Would really like to see this be an earlier game. Utah is used to playing later at night. Maybe we can catch them half asleep with an early start time that throws them off their routine. Long shot I know, but little things like this do make a difference more often than not.

Yes.

**Al_4_State** · 09-22-2010, 09:16 AM

I'm praying for some relief from all the god damn night games.

And CylentButDeadly makes a great point. Utah is almost ALWAYS playing at night it seems.

A&M vs. Arkansas I would imagine gets picked up by ESPN or is a 2:30 ABC game. I don't see it having a chance taking an FSN or FCS timetable. Once Arkansas BEATS Alabama this weekend, I see it being an ESPN prime-time game with the SEC contract.
