Tomorrow ESPN is expected to announce the Big Sky matchups they’ll be televising and the kickoff times. History shows that they have always taken games against prime opponents in the month of October. So if I had to guess, here’s what games I think they’re gonna take:
October 12 Weber State @ Montana
October 19 Idaho @ Montana State
I think Idaho vs cats is an obvious choice. As far as us, there isn’t really a no brainer option since we don’t play Idaho or Sac State. Nov 9 against Davis makes sense, but that may be too late in the year for ESPN’s taste.
There’s also rumors circulating that’s supposedly the Big Sky re-negotiated their tv deal and was able to get even more games on ESPN2. How many more? Idk, but it’ll be interesting to see what we learn tomorrow. Also with tomorrow’s announcement, I suspect Scripps and SWX won’t be too far behind ESPN on their kickoff time announcements too. A lot more clarity should be coming tomorrow!
