Game time??

Post by kcatz » Tue Nov 14, 2006 11:48 am

Chronicle made mention in today's sports section that game may be changed to 12:45, any news on this?

I assume for tv purposes (possibly espn), when will we know?

The issue is ESPN Gameplan coverage; the Cat/Griz will be available on the internet. Because of a preceeding game, ESPN might have to join the Cat/Griz game in progress unless the kickoff is moved to 12:35.. or so. Bill Lamberty told us it would be decided sometime this morning and the correct kickoff time will be posted on the MSU board. I just checked (12:30pm) and there isn't any new information as of yet.

My understanding is the game will be available on the internet via gameplan; but not on a ESPN television channel. You can access the schedule and order the game through this link: http://proxy.espn.go.com/ncf/gameplan/index

I did see on my Dish receiver the game will be broadcast on the CSN network around nine o'clock Saturday night. It's a good chance to tape the game.

The game will be on ESPN GamePlan TV.

I also put this in a separate thread.


UM-MSU kickoff - Nov. 13

The start time of the D.A. Davidson Big Sky Classic, featuring The University of Montana vs. Montana State, and presented by Montana’s News Stations, has been moved to 12:37 p.m. MST, the Big Sky Conference announced on Tuesday.

The 106th meeting between the Bobcats and Grizzlies will be held on Nov. 18 at Washington-Grizzly Stadium in Missoula, Mont. Kickoff was originally scheduled for 12:05 p.m. MST, but was moved to accommodate ESPN’s coverage on its GamePlan pay-per-view package, which will be televising the contest to numerous UM-MSU satellite parties across the country.


The Montana-Montana State game is slated to be televised on the same GamePlan channel as the Western Carolina-Florida game, which begins at 10 a.m. MST. There will be a “crawler” across the bottom of the screen in the second half of the Western Carolina-Florida game to alert viewers that the UM-MSU game will be joined in progress upon completion of that game.


“We realize there are thousands of alumni and fans of Montana and Montana State outside of Montana who plan on watching this game on ESPN GamePlan,’’ said Big Sky Conference Commissioner Doug Fullerton. “By moving the start time back 30 minutes, it will allow those fans to hopefully see the entire game. ESPN GamePlan has a limited number of channels, and unfortunately the Montana-Montana State game will follow a contest that begins at 10 a.m.”


The start time could not be pushed back any later because of concerns about daylight. Washington-Grizzly Stadium does not have lights.


The D.A. Davidson Big Sky Classic will be shown live across the Treasure State on Montana’s News Stations, including KPAX in Missoula, KAJ in Kalispell, KBZK in Bozeman, KXLF in Butte, KRTV in Great Falls, and KXLH in Helena, KTVQ in Billings.


Those fans who are unable to pick up the cable feeds or receive the broadcast over the air can order the game through ESPN GamePlan by contacting their cable or satellite provider. The ESPN GamePlan telecast will take its feed from Montana’s News Stations. The game will also be available on the Internet at www.bigskytv.org. Single-game cost is $6.95. CSTV will also show the game on a tape delay basis beginning at 9:30 p.m. MST.


Montana is currently ranked second in the nation and is 7-0 in conference and 9-1 overall. The Bobcats (6-1, 7-3) are ranked 15th and bring a six-game winning streak in Missoula. If Montana – winners of nine straight – downs the Bobcats, the Grizzlies will win the Big Sky Conference title outright and earn the league’s automatic bid to the playoffs. The Bobcats will earn the Big Sky’s automatic bid to the playoffs with a victory, and Montana and Montana State will share the regular-season championship.
