This is a big game, I'm not doubting that.. and I hope we have a great turnout.
But I think we make too big a deal of "nationally televised" games now. It's 2012, half our games will be on ESPN,ESPN2, or ESPNu .. aka nationally televised.
It's nice when you're on ESPN or CBS.. but a good showing by us in January against Cinncinnatti or Rutgers at 8pm probably draws just as many viewers even on ESPN2 or U... if not more, than our opener at 2pm on a Thursday will.
