As I'll be in Massachusetts this upcoming weekend, I was wondering if anyone could post the coverage map for the IU (when it becomes available). I know the game is on ESPN/ESPN2, but I'm just worried that it'll probabaly be a regional telecast.

It's usually released on Wednesday or Thursday, I believe.
Here it is, though it is not helpful:

Does that mean no diversity of games at Noon?
I am going to be in Vermont at our condo, ESPN at this website http://sports.espn.go.com/espntv/espnGuide
Says our game will be on regular ESPN and State Penn will be on ESPN2. If something changes last second, I am going to have a hissy fit.

Coverage maps come out every Thursday, as far as I can tell Big Red they will be on ESPN nationwide. I'm in MS and my dish says it is on ESPN as well.
I've never seen ESPN put out a coverage map for a noon kickoff.
Noon ESPN kickoffs are usally national broadcasts.

If you get espn3, it'll be on espn3 w/ no chance of black out
Hmm, not sure I ever noticed there were no coverage maps for noon games. Good to know. Espn3 is via the internet, is it not? We have a new Verizon wireless card for my fiancee's work laptop, but we are a) trying it for the first time this weekend and b) reluctant to rely on that kind of internet feed for watching games online (stutters, buffering, etc...)

This game will be on ESPN at noon. I'm in Maine and it's already listed on my cable box. TW has effed me over before earlier this year but that was when they switched the game from Ohio/Buckeyes to UM/UMass two days before the game on the BTN. ESPN usually stays on course once the information is provided. No worries.
That wasn't Time Warner, that was the Big Ten Network who made that decision, ROWETRAIN.

But it is Time Warner that doesn't provide me with the extra BTN channels that DirecTV and Dish both provide in my area. I even have to pay extra for a sports package to get the BTN. So I blame both of them, JAKEBUCKEYE.
True. I feel your pain. I have Time Warner as well, but I'm fortunate to have a buddy that lives really near that lets me come over for the three or four times a year Ohio State is on the Big Ten Network. Time Warner does truly blow.

Yes they do blow. Last year before TW had the BTN in my area i used to do the same thing and go to my buddies house with DirecTV.
I have FIOS here in NJ. For that same weekend, they had OU vs OSU listed on the Guide from the middle of the week on, including as late as 10:30 a.m. on Saturday. I get back from a bunch of errands at 11:58, only to find the broadcast cutting to shots of the Pig House instead of the Shoe. I had never before made use of the overflow channels; I knew from before we moved that DirectTV had them, but I didn't know about FIOS. Coudln't find them, and spent about 15 minutes absolutely freaking out, as I hunted the interwebs for info with one hand while calling local bars with the other. None of the bars had BTN, let alone overflow channels, and I had trouble finding anything useful on the interweb; the BTN site itself has a "Gamefinder" application that conveniently DIDN'T WORK FOR SH!T, I believe I kept getting a response like "Information currently unavailable. Please contact 1-888-WEAREBUSYEATINGROTEL" I was about to give up when I found an old forum post from last year listing the FIOS channels as being in the 300s, which I quickly verified.
Point is, DirectTV is the bomb and any other cable provider = risky, in my experience.
Anyone know the competition on ESPN this weekend that might push us to the Deuce in some markets?
