ESPN's Countdown to Next Season

Post

So Chris Low of ESPN listed the Navy at FAU game as one of the big games to watch on opening week next season. We were the only C-USA team, and Tulsa vs OK State was the only other non-P5 game. #KiffinEffect is still in play.

It's going to be crazy. I hope it is NOT a noon game.  Just a note: Temple / Notre Dame also non-P5 game.

A noon game would be AWFUL. A primetime game on ESPNU or CBSSN would be perfect, but I'd settle for a ~3:30 game if it's on national TV.

Kiffn vs The Triple Option

or

Temple of the Dogs vs Notre Lame

I'll take our chances in the 3:00 PM slot on The Deuce!

ESPN2 would be INSANE! Clearly a big win on ESPN2 would be the best case scenario.

In fact, it may be better then going against some of these BIG TIME primetime matchups like Alabama and Florida State.

Pretty sure since we are home it falls under our TV contract.

So I am guessing FS1.

A lot of big games that day like Bama vs FSU, Michigan vs UF,
Va Tech vs WV, NC State vs South Carolina, BYU vs LSU.

So ESPN isn't happening that day.

I spoke with FAU and it does fall under ours…but Fox isn't in the mix anymore under the new C-USA terms…it's ESPN.

They were very confident it will get picked up.

You're right.

I could see this game getting moved to a Thursday night, since a lot of people will be interested in both Navy's bounceback from a bit of a disappointing season, and how Kiff will fare in his first game as a HC. I think this would garner some national interest.

And a noon game would be awful.
