My brothers and I are heading to Minneapolis for the first time since TCF Bank has opened. I've looked on the University of Minnesota website, but it's not very helpful to determine where visiting fans can tailgate. It seems like most lots are non-tailgating. Has anyone been up there...

From 4:14 of regulation to end of OT, fouls were 10-2. I'll let you guess who got called for 10 and who got called for 2.

No reason given for the change. Only a 30 minute change though. I assume it is to not overlap with end of Packers game.

Temps continue to trend down in every new forecast. Could be in low to mid 20s at kickoff. Ah what am I thinking. Of course he'll be in short sleeves. It's Michigan.

With 2 more teams thrown into the mix starting next year, TV coverage will only get worse. BTN says overflow channels are not available for basketball because of bandwidth issues. The command center used for BTN is owned by Fox and is down in Houston. Fox has a ton of NBA and NHL games during...

You're missing the difference. BTN2GO and BTDN are two different things. BTN2GO is like ESPN3, a service provided for a small fee by your pay TV provider, but made free to the customer. Not all cable/satellite providers have an agreement to offer this. BTDN is a service the customer must pay...

You are correct. ESPN3 requires an agreement with your Internet provider. Mediacom has this, so does South Slope. Not sure on others.

Full non-conference TV schedule is finalized. 11/3: Augustana (Exhibition) - Mediacom22 & BTDN (Big Ten Digital Network) 11/8: UNC Wilmington - ESPN3 11/10: Nebraska-Omaha - ESPN3 11/14: MD Eastern Shore - BTN 11/17: Abilene Christian - MC22 & BTDN 11/22: Penn - BTN 11/28: Xavier - NBCSN 11/29...

The BTN released their conference TV schedule the other day but only mentioned a handful of non-conference games. However in browsing through Iowa's schedule on Hawkeyesports.com there are at least 3 non-conference games the BTN will be airing. Maryland Eastern Shore - Thursday 11/14 @6:00pm...

The BTN is notorious for not updating their schedule. There are several spots for replays but no teams listed, this is likely so BTN doesn't replay a loss, but makes it frustrating not knowing if your favorite team is slated for a replay.

Yeah that had to be pretty embarrassing for the guys responsible for that. I liked how Witvoet kept going to the mic to tell them to put NIU's points on the board or reduce their timeouts. Somebody needed to let him know the video board wasn't working.

Enough talk about the game, let's move to a more important topic. First off the new ribbon board is awesome. It is an excellent addition to the stadium experience. Second, the 2 new video boards in the north endzone are also very nice. Third, it was very noticeable the picture quality...

I disagree about the 11am starts. At 11, the entire stadium is in the sun and it will be hot for the entire game. With a 2:30 start, most of the west and south side are in the shade.

Iowa is on a BTN alternate channel on DirecTV, Dish and any cable system outside of Iowa. Many systems do not show the alternate channel guide info until a couple days before the game. DirecTV is typically this way. Dish does already show Iowa on the alternate channel (438-02 for those with...

While not at Kinnick, I remember the Kansas State game at Arrowhead in 2000 being very hot. A quick look at the history books says it was 95 that day in KC. It was 91 for Ball State in 2005.
