Less than 10K doesn't seem crazy, though I hope I'm wrong. Those of us at the game or watching on the Pac-12 Network will need to get our heads checked as that means electing to watch this instead of Ohio State vs. Notre Dame at almost the exact same time. But hey, fan is short for fanatic and it's not supposed to be rational. I do think I'll put our game on computer and the big game on the tv, though I won't be able to resist our game being the one with volume. Have to hear Roxy Bernstein gush about how EJ Smith running for 100 yards against Colgate means he's the next coming and DAVID SHAW IS BACK BABY!

Less than 10,000 will watch the game on the Pac-12 Network. Not many more actually get the network. . . .

I'm a fanatic. Easy decision for me. I'll be in Stanford Stadium watching us pound Colgate.

RE: Colgate and USC kick-off times announced - French Rage - 05-27-2022

I'm surprised they didn't put the Colgate game in another time slot.  I don't know what the other OOC matchups are that weekend but I would think they would have to be a little more attractive in east coast prime time than us versus Colgate.  But I also won't argue if that's where they want to put it.

USC game time and channel makes sense.  Stanford/USC still sounds like a big matchup to a lot of people, even if neither teams is exactly where it was 10 years ago.  Hopefully the game is good enough that it does not permanently shake everyone of that belief.

The most influential and informed folks out there know better. The buzz for this year's USC game will sound like a hive full of dead bees.

That's a bit one sided on the national buzz potential for the Stanford-USC game.

For the rest of the nation the story, and buzz, will be that USC has a new coach.  A coach that was in the Big12 from a school soon to be in the SEC, so that should at least get a few people to watch as Riley has the potential to take one of the CFP slots annually.  

If you look at the games set to start at 4PM, 4:30PM or 5PM, there really is nothing better.   Alabama v Texas will be the game of the day, but it starts at 9AM. 

Lincoln Riley has a number of transfer talents, but can they really get on the same page to beat a Pac-12 team by week #2?   Potentially Stanford benefits from quite a few defensive coverage mistakes and/or poorly executed offensive plays.  One can hope. 

I realize that is not quite game of the century stuff, but most of the best teams play very weak cupcakes that Saturday.

A game has to be colossally crappy and irrelevant to be on Pac-12 Network in the first place and hardly anybody in the country (certainly not the east coast sports fans for whom national tv is geared) even gets the Pac-12 Network, so I'm not sure that calculus of what's attractive to the east coast primetime market is pertinent with regard to Stanford-Colgate. The other Pac-12 OOC matchups of any interest to anybody not diehard about those schools will be on real networks. Oregon-Georgia will be on ABC. Arizona-San Diego State will be on CBS. Oregon State-Boise State and Utah-Florida will be on ESPN. Washington-Kent State will be on Fox Sports 1. The games without eyeballs (i.e., on Pac-12 Network) will be our game, USC-Rice (kind of surprised Lincoln Riley's debut couldn't find a real network), UCLA-Bowling Green, Washington State-Idaho, and Cal-UC Davis. Actually, technically Stanford-Colgate and Cal-UC Davis are a special kind of crappy because they're not even on Pac-12 Network, they're on Pac-12 Now/Pac-12 Bay Area (Pac-12 Network will be showing the USC game during our slot).

I think Florida-Kentucky and Oklahoma State-Arizona State are far superior games than USC-Stanford. But USC-Stanford gets eyes for exactly the reason you say - first chance for anybody nationally to see Lincoln Riley at USC (because nobody's watching that Rice game on Pac-12 Network). It's hard for me to see us beating USC but if we do it's going to have to be in a shootout.

"...but most of the best teams play very weak cupcakes that Saturday."
USC does, for sure.

RE: Colgate and USC kick-off times announced - BostonCard - 05-27-2022

That Colgate game is not scheduled for its national eyeballs, it is scheduled for people who specifically want to watch Stanford )or Colgate).  There should be more of that and less of “let’s schedule the game to be played after midnight so it doesn’t have to compete against a more compelling option.

Pac-12 schedule labor day weekend (and we're not on the P12N, but the sub-channel P12N Bay Area)

Thur 01 Sept

Fri 02 Sept 

Sat 03 Sept

only two games Saturday with much fan interest beyond there own fans, OU @ UGA UU @ Florida

RE: Colgate and USC kick-off times announced - Canalejas - 05-27-2022

For those of us with Sling the main P12N channel isn't better, since we don't get it. Instead, we get all 6 regional networks plus the free Pac12Insider channel. I think it's because anything shown on the main P12N is simultaneously shown on at least one of the regional networks.

RE: Colgate and USC kick-off times announced - chrisk - 05-27-2022

cal is subjected to the ignominy of having both of its first 2 games on P12N Bay Area. Then in week 3, their trip to Notre Dame gets them on NBC.
