That stadium should be rocking with all the day to tailgate. Hope everyone that can go does go...

That'll be a really cool atmosphere. Harkening back to Alabama '03 and Tennessee '08 which were both evening games.

As someone who regrettably won't be able to attend, I'm glad it's on ESPNU. Now that I live in the city, maybe I will head over to BEER to watch it with some fellow Huskies.

Damnit! My cuz's wedding....looks like I am going to be the guy from the commercial trying to watch this on my phone somehow...

skip the wedding. No one should get married during football season!

That was me for the Alabama game...except I was listening to the game on the radio out in the parking lot.

LOL my girlfriend at the time was pissed. That should have been a good indication that she was not the right girl for me.

I wanted to go to Alabama but my company scheduled the national sales meeting at the same time. I listened to the second half with an earbud during dinner. The three southern boys at my table couldn't believe the play-by-play I was relaying to them.

the good old days of 670 broadcasts. That had to be one of the first NIU games on 670.

We didn't go to 670 until 2004 or 2005.

Does this ESPNU announcement, us playing an SEC team on top of us winning vs NU make this UNLV game a "trap game"?

We shouldn't have any of the travel issues like Idaho last year so that is a plus.

670 picked that game up though and broadcasted it. Someone else should be able to confirm that.

Oh yeah, no doubt it was on 670. Remember listening to it in good ole Dixon, IL.

Will be at a wedding. Anyone know if this one will be on WatchESPN?

99% yes. Can't imagine it won't be on there.

It'll be on ESPN3. Any college game on ABC or ANY of the ESPN's will be viewable on ESPN3 -- as long as your cable subscription subscribes to the channel you're watching (ESPNU in this case).

You have to end up linking a successful login to your cable subscriber to ESPN3 so it's verification you do subscribe to the channel your game's on (and it will save it in your browser's cookies so you don't have to repeat doing that).

Not that it matters in this case but I think that if a game is on ABC in your area then it will be blacked out on WatchESPN.
