Michigan vs Utah is on Fox Sports one - not in basic Dish packages

Submitted by bringthewood on July 21st, 2015 at 2:10 PM

I started looking at the earlier content posted on the game and noticed it will be on FS1. I have the Dish 120+ Pack which does not include FS1 so I will have to upgrade for the day to get the game.

Just a heads up as you might want to see if you get FS1.

Feel free to post what cable/satellite packages include it. I believe it is in the Dish 200 pack.

If those are your only choices for a sports bar, I feel for you man. Bdubs is servicable, but Old Chicago, one of the worst places I've ever been.

The 2 closest sports bars to my sons highschool. He has a game that night so I'll hit one of those places as soon as his game is over.

I've always experienced good food and good service so not sure what the problems some other Mgobloggers had there. Also a giant menu with a ton of options. Not quite Uccellos level but usually

Considering that I live in Atlanta and I'd be shocked if my comcast package carried FS1, it looks like I'll be heading to a bar for the game.

Channel 33 on Comcast here in southern Wayne County, so I am all set. Worst case scenario, I do have seating for 7-8 in the family room if there are people desperate for a TV and Michigan football too. I am sure my wife wouldn't mind so long as I gave her at least a week's notice that we could violate noise restrictions on the street.

Is it FS1 in all markets? I wonder if the West Coast will get the game on one of the basic cable channels since it's Pac country.

It should be. The only difference would be regional coverage for baseball games on a Saturday afternoon or something like that, but this game will stand alone on FS1 that night. Also, you shouldn't have to worry being in Pac12 country since, you know, Utah is playing.

Problem is I don't get FS1 which was why I was hoping it'd be on CBS or ABC since it's a Pac game.

hmmm... I don't recally the last time any college team other than SEC/Army & Navy have played on CBS. I think everyone was hoping for ABC but Fox has rights to Pac12 games and they snatched it up. Why they are putting it on a cable channel is beyond me. Glee must be on that night or something.

CBS has top bids on SEC games. All the big games in that conference are on CBS. The same goes for PAC 12 and Big 12 and Fox Sports

Is that the first game of college football season, I mean for all teams? If it is thats pretty whack that it isnt televised on a major basic channel. Luckily i spend more than I really need to on TV so Im good to go, Im assuming all my friends will come over and ruin my college football viewing experience (I prefer to watch UofM football alone).

It is worth pointing out that FS1 is not available with the most basic "Select" package. You need to have the "Entertainment" package at a minimum to get it. So come on you cheapskates, upgrade today! That should be DirecTV's tag line.

Why the fuck is this game being played on a Thursday? This seems like a very dumb idea, but perhaps there's a good reason that I'm overlooking. Thank you.

I think Utah wanted the cache of it "kicking off" the college football season (technically UNC vs So Carolina kicks off before UM/Utah) and Brandon agreed. I don't mind the very, very infrequent Thursday night game.

Quit fussing. EVERY TV in a bar in the nation and all across homes in America will have this game on. It's great exposure for Michigan.

How would Michigan get exposure without playing on Thursday night? I can't wait until people across the country finally know who Michigan is after this Thursday night game. You'd think everyone would have noticed all the wins, legendary coaches, biggest stadium in north america, the Heisman trophy winners, high profile coaching change, big ten championships, national championships and unique helmets; but I guess not. Finally, when the only other football to watch is high school JV, people will see who Michigan is. The days of obscurity will be over, at last!
