Three National Telecasts for the 2009 Golden Bears

Well, we got screwed by last year's Maryland time. Looks like it's the Terps's turn.

Cal-Maryland will open the season Sept. 5 at 10 PM EST, 7 PM PST on ESPN2. So the game will be finishing up around the time most Maryland football players would probably be partying it up in College Park. Fair's fair.

Cal and Oregon, already confirmed for a slot on ESPN/ABC earlier this year, will air Sept. 26th at 3:30 PM EST, 12:30 PM PST, just like in 2007. And again, USC-Cal will be on Saturday Night Football on ABC, 8 PM EST, 5 PM PST, October 3rd.

Full Pac-10 ESPN/ABC schedule's in the comments, but also remember there are about eight weeks unslotted where ABC gets to pick their afternoon Pac-10 regional game, and it's likely Cal will get picked up for two or three of those. FSN and Versus will announce their schedules in June.

This is exciting. First year I have had season tickets. It is weird thinking that I am going to be at every single one of these games. The 7 PM start will probably make a nice dinner hard to get though. And I will be far too excited before the game too eat.

I'm old enough to understand. Jerks.

Some early thoughts:

With USC-UW picking up the September 19th game, I have no idea what will happen with Cal-Minnesota on Sept. 19th, although I guess (hope?) that they pick it up when the Big Ten announces their ABC regional schedule. The nightmare is that it gets picked up by The Big Ten Network and we all have to go scrambling for friends with pimped out satellite packages.

So here are my guesses.
September 5 vs Maryland, 7 PM, ESPN2 (confirmed)
September 12 vs E. Washington, 3 PM, CSN Regional telecast
September 19 at Minnesota, 9 AM, Big Ten Network (god help us all)
September 26 at Oregon, 12:30 PM, ABC (confirmed, will probably be regional unless both teams are undefeated)
October 3 vs USC, 5 PM, ABC (confirmed, I’m guessing national telecast unless some Big Ten schools jump out to crazy starts)
October 17 at UCLA, 12:30 PM, ABC (regional telecast)
October 24 vs Washington State, 5 PM (no one is going to want to put that Wazzu team on national TV. Maybe FSN/CSN nationwide, more likely CSN regional)
October 31 at Arizona State, 12:30 PM, ABC (regional telecast)
November 7 vs Oregon State, late afternoon, FSN or Versus
November 14 vs Arizona, 12:30 PM, ABC
November 21 at Stanford (I’m guessing Versus scoops up the Big Game—it’s gonna be good this year—if they don’t it should go to FSN)
December 5 at Washington, 12 PM, FSN (depends on how well these two teams’s seasons go; if they’re better than expected it might be upgraded to ESPN.)

These guesses will probably be all wrong.

Oh man I’m going to feel so pimp if the Big Ten network picks up the Minnesota game. It’s a part of the SureWest package for no apparent reason.
