The 8:30 start on a Friday may help get folks out from city and suburbs!

Interesting to note that CBS Sports Network is getting some of the MAC's "ESPN" games. Our Thursday, October 26 game vs. EMU will be on CBS. Not sure if that's new or if I missed it.

Also the MAC championship game being played on a Saturday. I think I missed that too.

Yeah ...MACC on Saturday....

Time TBD. I'll bet its at 8:30. Just not sure if it'll be AM or PM.

Crap, I wanted to attend with my wife, my daughter and my granddaughters but one of the granddaughters is in kindergarten and the other is two years old and this is just too darn late for them.

I guess we will wait and attend one of the Saturday games instead.

Updated MAC football schedule (time/tv)
I suggested years ago that we play on a Sunday at 8:00 a.m. The suggestion was tongue-in-cheek but I now think it's closer to reality than fantasy.

Wow. That is something. Don't play on a Saturday for a month, then the MACC is on a Saturday. So given B10, SEC and perhaps others are same day, 11am (10 central) local start?

RE: Updated MAC football schedule (time/tv)
Nothing like 6:00 PM weeknight games! Could they seriously make it any worse for fans that work and live in the Chicago area? Let's take off 1/2 a day of work to go to a game in freezing temperatures, get home late and then go to work the next day. Forget about it. Just watch the game on TV and save the price of tickets.

As a season ticket holder since the SATURDAY that Stacey Robinson became the starter, this is most likely my last year of season tickets. I'll just buy my one or two tickets for the season as needed. It's obvious that the MAC cares way more for ESPN than they do for their fans.

Oct. 26 – Thursday
*Eastern Michigan at NIU, 7:00 pm ET/6:00 pm CT (CBS Sports Network/ESPN3)

Nov. 9 – Thursday
*Ball State at NIU, 7:00 pm ET/6:00 pm ET (typo? (CT?)) (CBS Sports Network)

Nov. 15 – Wednesday
*Western Michigan at NIU, 7:00 pm ET/6:00 pm CT or 8:00 pm ET/7:00 pm CT (ESPN2/ESPNU/CBS Sports Network)


We need to stop the MACness now! Take back the MAC from the MAC administrators and ESPN! #TakeBackTheMAC

Schedule

And don't forget to set you DVRs for the Toledo game which starts at 5:00 PM. Can't even make it home to watch an away game on TV on a Thursday.

Nov. 2 – Thursday
*NIU at Toledo, 6:00 pm ET/5:00 pm CT (ESPNU/CBS Sports Network)

Game Times Announced for Huskies’ Home Games

Hotels in DeKalb/Sycamore are not cheap. $140 to $180, plus taxes.

If they could make kickoff at 11:00 p.m., we could all sleep in Huskie Stadium. Keep the Yard open all night and serve kegs and eggs the next morning.

That is outrageous. Did they build a Six Flags in DeKalb that I don't know about?

That is what they need to do to bring back Saturday football. :)
I can see ESPN putting on an all day football schedule like they did basketball. NIU will get the 6am slot just like Bball.

To me the 8:30 on a Friday is not nearly as bad as the 6:00 PM mid-week games. I'm not saying it is good, just that the MAC has made even worse choices this year. #TakeBackTheMAC
