ABC announces "Saturday Night College Footbal


Recommended Posts

Oh, and how interesting would it be if ABC decides to put the Pitt @ USF game on regionally.

Tampa Bay would be a fun place!  FSU and Miami games - if they are night games - would not be on... and Florida is at Vanderbilt that day.

That means USF could be the only Florida school on broadcast TV in Tampa Bay that day.

Jim,

This is new, it's a weekly series they are starting. ABC has done night football in the past, but only for big games and 3-4 times a season. ND/USC; last year's Ohio State/Texas; UF/FSU, Miami/FSU.

They plan on showing a few games a week.

Hmm... For some reason I remember more games.  But I know they were not all "big" games...

For example: on September 3rd last year, they showed Notre Dame @ Pitt and Texas A&M @ Clemson:

Ya, but that is Opening Labor Day weekend.

They have said that this is the Saturday Night Programming fixture. Respectively called Saturday Night Football. Musberger and Bob Davies will be the fixtures with John Saunders, Craig James, and Doug Flutie in the studio. Kirk Herbstreit will be the 3rd man in the booth for games that College Gameday will be at.

I'm excited for it! It's another game added to the Saturday night lineup which included ESPN (s), FSN, and TBS. Add that to Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday college football and my fiancee will never talk to me again...it will be great!(just kidding hun)

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
