2013 Football Schedule

I honestly see it as a better chance of shrinking than expanding.

Reminds me of what George said on Seinfeld.

Women just don't k ow the reality of our situation!! That and someone needs to tell Kramer that there are rules pertaining to Lobster!!!

Is the North Carolina State game actually at 11:30PM????? If so...that will be as late as it was when we watched the Hawaii away game!!!

11:30 am central

First game back at Carter-Finley since I was a student and we get a mid-day kick. Sucks.

When ask what colors I plan to wear; that is easy. NC State Red and LA Tech Blue.

Apparently the official identifer for Fox Sports 1 will be FXS1 based on what is posted on the msn.foxsports.com site.

Also the Army game is listed there as an FSN game...http://msn.foxsports.com/collegefoot...k=5&stable=I-A

I don't think either is correct.

FOX Sports 1 official announcement using FS1: http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story...network-030513
They may have changed their minds though.

The Army TV info hasn't been officially released yet. FSN only has a window for an 11:00 AM kickoff that day. FS1 has windows for 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM kickoffs that day. FOX only has a window for a 6:00 PM kickoff that day. None of those time slots match-up with the 2:30 PM announced kickoff, but the only window that comes close is the 3:00 PM kickoff on FS1. It should also be noted that FOX does have 2:30 PM kickoffs on other weekends. Either the windows have to be shifted or be created, or our kickoff time has to be changed. When the game was originally announced last year, BVDV did say that the game would be played on FOX. The ElAyTechSports.com initial TV press release for this season was filled with errors regarding our TV games broadcast by Fox Sports. ESPN.com is reporting that it will be on FS1, but FoxSports.com is reporting FSN. I still think it's too early to jump to any conclusions, but my money is still on the Army game being broadcast on FS1. We may not know for sure until 6 days before the game.

FSN normally has game windows at 11:00, 2:30, and 6:00. The late 9:15/9:30 window went away with the Pac 12 Network and E$PN picking up those games.

If kickoff time stays at 2:30, I'd put my money on FSN.

Fox appears to be leaning more toward using FX to redesignate its cable networks. Fox Soccer is apparently going to become FXX to expand the current FX entertainment offerings. Fox Movie Channel has basically become FXM. Still unclear whether Fox Soccer Plus will eventually become Fox Sports 3.

Based on what Murdock has done with Sky Sports in the UK and Fox Sports in Australia, there should be a minimum of three numbered sports networks. Sky Sports has 4 full-time networks not counting Sky Sports News plus two other specialty channels (F1 and Xtra). Fox Sports has three numbered channels, Fox Footy (AFL specialty channel), Fox Sports News, Fox Sports Play, plus Speed and Fuel.

September 28 is the last Saturday of the MLB regular season, and FSN is obligated to show baseball in the 2:30 time slot on many of their regional networks.

Thanks, I see that the time has now been changed from PM to AM on the schedule in this thread.

Nothing new there...that's what FSN-Plus channels are for.

Only 5 of 14 scheduled game times that day are listed in the 3:05/3:10 CT range (SD-SF, CLE-MIN, MIL-NYM, OAK-SEA, and PIT-CIN) with COL-LAD listed TBA. And unless something has changed this year, it is FOX and not FSN that has Saturday regional games. Even if the MLB games are on some FSN affiliates, the others would still need football programming in that window.

Interesting note from Brett McMurphy regarding Florida International:

FIU starting RB Kedrick Rhodes dismissed from program for violating team policy. Led FIU in rushing last year.

The top FIU rusher returning from last year's team is the QB Jake Medlock (87 carries, 236 yards, 3 TDs). The top 3 rushers from last year are gone.

The UTSA game time was announced for 2:30 PM.

The NC State game will also be on ESPN3 for markets without the ACC Network.

Thanks. That's all I needed to know. Laptop HDMI'd to the TV for me.
