Michigan - Illinois 2010 on BTN now
Flip it to BTN to watch the 67-65 3OT affair from last year. It's a good time killer until the Tigers game starts.
Probably the high water mark of the Rich Rodriguez era as well as the last shining moment of Tate's Michigan career.
The game also features current Lions RB Mikael Leshoure.
Also, for you Wings fans out there, Game 1 of this past year's playoff series against the yotes is on NHL network.

Even though we won.

How many times have they aired this game this summer? Come on BTN - get some more games in your library.

I think its due to cost. BTN owns the rights to the game on right now (since they broadcast it). A lot of those older games are owned by ESPN/ABC, and so BTN has to pay a fee whenever they air those games. So its much cheaper for them to show their own games over and over.

I'm sure that is the reason, but given the BTN's great profitability thus far, they don't need to skimp.

I remember when the channel first came on the air and BTN would play nothing other than Michigan vs. Appalachian State. Couldn't shop at Best Buy and other stores that sold hi-def televisions for the rest of September.
Come to think of it, maybe that's why Comcast didn't include BTN as part of the basic package for so long; if that's the case, I really don't blame them.

anyone know where to find last years Iowa game that's the only game I missed last year due to a wedding, and even though we lost i'd really like to watch it.
August 13th, 2011 at 7:29 PM ^
why does someone post this every time the game is replayed?
August 13th, 2011 at 7:29 PM ^
This game was awesome. It was the game that made me feel like we could win a National Championship again soon.
August 13th, 2011 at 7:55 PM ^
For some reason, I remember needing a distraction after that game...
August 13th, 2011 at 8:00 PM ^
That's pretty distracting all right. +1 for the "chessboard" references in the song.
August 13th, 2011 at 8:48 PM ^
He did a good job with that song, and a pretty good job with his contributions to the soundtrack to "Jesus Christ Superstar" actually.
August 13th, 2011 at 10:18 PM ^
I have the soundtrack on vinyl. "Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Who are you, what have you sacrificed?"

We lost both the '84 and '85 Iowa games. The '84 game was shortly after Harbaugh broke his arm against MSU and was probably the worst loss of the Schembechler era (26-0).
The '83 and '86 Iowa games were both close wins, though.
