The Big Sky Conference will again in 2024 feature two primetime contests on ESPN2, it was announced Friday.
The games involve four of the regular contenders in the Big Sky Conference, with Idaho visiting Montana State on Saturday, Oct. 12, while UC Davis visits Montana on Saturday, Nov. 9. Both games are slated for 10:15pm Eastern/8:15pm Mountain kicks.
All four teams chosen for competition are ranked among HeroSports’ preseason FCS Top 25.
Looking forward to My Montana State Bobcats hosting Idaho Vandals 10/12.
Go Cats! :)
So now it’s Big Sky After Dark when all the Big 12 West Coast schools are on the road instead of Pac-12?
Fan of Big Sky After Dark.
The Rocky Mountain Region & divided Timezone isn’t West Coast. “Daylight Savings” Timezone Utes, Cougars, Buffaloes, Standard Time Zone Sun Devils, Wildcats.
Ucla, Usc, UO, UW, UC, Stanford’s Schedules are controlled By Eastern Daylight Time based Conferences who want early Slots for their base.
The networks, not the conferences, control the start times of games in the ACC, Big Ten, and every other conference.
But yes, they want easterners watching when eastern teams are playing, so the networks won’t want Syracuse-California or Penn State-USC to start at 10:30 pm eastern time.
BTN,FS1 & Peacock would be excellent for Penn State-USC & ACCN,ESPN,ESPN2 & ESPNU would be excellent for Syracuse-California should they have kickoff at 10:30PM Eastern.
Vandal Pride!
Yes,
With all the disrespect the Uni. of Idaho Vandals have received from the Original PCAC in the 1st half of the 20th Century.
Then being part of the new WAC & being orphaned by the MWC ‘s destruction of said Conference.
I’m glad Uni. IDaho Vandals kept their program @ the 63 scholarship Level rather than disbanding FB.
I hope their administration & boosters will make the savvy decisions propelling them to compete successfully with the Griz, Bobcats, Wildcats & Aggies @ the Top of the @BigSkyConf thru the playoffs every year.
To HTK Excellent job on story about Idaho Vandals Football.
Nice Work!!!
Idaho doesn’t have boosters.
To Spoons boosters or no boosters I cheer on My favorite College Football teams anyway.
Not surprised by the matchups considering Montana was going to be given a game but does not play Sac St or Idaho this year.
Also a shame that the Brawl of the Wild does not get more national coverage.
Agreed with the second statement! Cat-Griz needs to be on TV!
Believe me Reverend as a Montana State Bobcats Fan I really would like ESPN2 to televise Brawl of the Wild Montana State Bobcats vs Montana Grizzles.
God Bless & very nice commentary Reverend.
Great Deal.
