Spartans will play homecoming game under the lights
Michigan State’s homecoming game against Indiana will be a 7:00 p.m. kickoff under the lights of Spartan Stadium. The game is set to be broadcast on the new Big Ten Network.
The Big Ten Network will be the only place that Spartans fans will be able to watch the game if they don’t have a ticket to the game. Here’s hoping that your satellite/cable provider picks up the new network. The conference has posted all of their primetime games for the season.
The Big Ten Network will also feature a pair of Homecoming contests under the lights. Indiana will make its second primetime appearance on the network when it faces a road test against Michigan State and new head coach Mark Dantonio on Oct. 13 at 7 p.m. EDT. The Hoosiers knocked off the Spartans last season for just the second time in 10 seasons to reclaim the Old Brass Spitoon, which has gone to the victor in this series since 1950. The conference’s other new head coach will make a primetime appearance on the network on Nov. 3, when Tim Brewster leads Minnesota in a home tilt against Illinois at 7 p.m. CDT, the first meeting between the two schools since 2004.
The entire 2007 Big Ten Network football schedule and other programming details will be announced in the months leading up to the network’s August launch.
