Usually a week or two before, sucks for travel plans!

The UC/ Memphis game will be announced late Saturday night. I Guess the whole AAC may be on this schedule as well?

#Bearcats next home game against Memphis will be a 6-day selection. Potential game times are Noon on ESPNU or 7 pm on CBS SN.

The American was put on the six day hold. Usually game times are announced 12 days before gameday if they are not on the six day hold. Does ESPN (ESPNU) get first pick before CBSSN?

ECU-SMU and Memphis-Cincinnati are the two games fill the Noon and 7pm time slot. I am hoping for Memphis-Cincinnati to be the 7pm game.

If Memphis v Cincinnati is the night game it's because one or both of us did something good this Saturday. I'm coming up for it either way

You know, I was thinking the opposite. I'm thinking any Espn network would get first dibs over CBS sports network. and if good things happen for uc and/or Memphis this week one or both of us may be ranked and ESPNU would take us at noon. But who the hell knows.

Glad to hear you are making the trip. Hope you have a great time....but not too great.

You're right. ESPN has first pick over CBSSN, so if Cincy or Memphis pulls an upset Saturday, next week's game will likely be on ESPNU at noon ET.

Normally I don't root for noon games but I wouldn't mind the ECU-SMU game being at noon so it can get over with quickly and I'll have the rest of my Saturday available.

Agreed. I've got a cookout obligation for the evening. Hopefully we run the ball a little more so it doesn't turn into a 5 hour spectacle like the last couple weeks.

I gots early soccer games, so I'm cool either way.

Wow. What a bloodbath. Can they play with a running clock in that one?

I'm kinda figuring I'll likely get out of the stadium early in that one.

This Saturday night we will know but ECU SMU will be noon on ESPNU or 7pm on CBS sports network. With Cincinnati in Memphis getting the other spot. I'm guessing ESPN wants to see if Cincy can beat Ohio State before they would pass on their game with Memphis.

[sarcasm]When did ESPN start selecting games based on interest? I thought media markets were all that mattered?[/sarcasm]

Noon would be cool, it would give me some daylight driving on the drive back. On the other hand, nothing beats a night game at the Fick. I'm thinking UC/Memphis will be at noon, just a guess.

the selfish part of me wants the noon slot at cincy just so i can scoot on back home and sleep in my own bed saturday night
