UNI Game: 11 am Kickoff on FS1

[dawgpound]

Game just might be miserably hot now. Just as long as it’s not like the OU game last year I’m fine with that.

I thought I was going to die that day

No TV assignments on that link.

I never said there was. I simply said that FS1 won't pick up the ULM game because there are conference match ups that week.

Same. I was filling my water bottle with hot water from the bathroom sinks just to keep somewhat hydrated.

Is UNI pretty solid this year?

 

[CapnCy]

Love it...would gladly give up what we typically like (evening game) for the opener to be front/center nationally!

Let's hope we come out popping on all cylinders! Also, what better way to start the Purdy Heisman Hype Train, lol!!!

But seriously...let's beat a FCS team the way we should....reserves in the third quarter!!

For you schedule nerds like me...

This guarantees that the ULM game is an evening kick on Cyclones.TV.

I think this says that the networks value a full house and in state UNI versus ULM. Not as much about ISU but still perhaps a step up.

 

[ArgentCy]

I would pay money for a way to sync them and/or the other Iowa State commentators, like Walters and Heft or CW, over the TV signal for basketball and football.

You know, that might be the best way to keep Cyclones.TV in business if they have no game content.

New QB. Average skill players (pretty good tight-end). Line isn't going to be special but is about at Kansas' level

Defense has been and will always be gap sound. Iowa State has NEVER been able to run on a Farley defense

I'm not normally a fan of early games, but seeing as I have to go to a wedding Saturday evening this really works out quite well for me. I should be a number of beers deep and ready for the reception by the start of the ceremony.

Not necessarily a guarantee. Still TBD. This game has good chance of being national TV as well.

Is FS1 our only option besides cyclones.tv?

I only made it until half and spent the second half at our tailgate relaxing in a chair under a tree. Could not drink enough water or gatorade that day!

Is this the first time ISU has played an FCS on national TV? Maybe NDSU a few years ago? Sorry don’t want to scan the whole thread if this has already been answered

Typical physical Farley team that will win 8ish games and then lose to a team he's better than in the playoffs. Best group of offensive skill guys he's had in a long time but you always question how well they'll be used.

This game screams 42-17 or something similar.

 

[ComCY]

Not too many severe storms roll through around 11 AM on an August day.

WOO!

...and jinxed.

NDSU in 2014 was also FS1.

 

[beentherebefore]

Wasn’t the NDSU debacle on FS1 too?

NDSU had a Super Bowl-winning QB.

 

[cyanide]

National broadcast Baby!!!!!

 

[cymonw1980]

First opener on national TV since Seneca/FSU game?

Technically, our official season opener (@toe) last year was right?

 

[guacamole7]

Maybe not. Didn't 3rd tier game rights change this year? As long as we're ranked, I think this game will be on FS1 too.

Can you provide a link to this "change"? I don't understand why people throw nonsense like this out there.
