I Predict Shorter Tailgate Parties and Slower Filling Student Sections

Penn State has announced three kickoff times for the 2009 season.  If you are a fan of early football games, then you will be happy.

The Nittany Lions will kick off their first three non-conference games at noon against Akron, Syracuse, and Temple.  Here is an updated schedule with all announced times and television coverage to date;

September 5 AKRON 12:00 pm Big Ten Network
September 12 SYRACUSE 12:00 pm BTN
September 19 TEMPLE 12:00 pm BTN
September 26 IOWA 8:00 pm ABC/ESPN
October 3 @ Illinois TBA
October 10 EASTERN ILLINOIS TBA
October 17 MINNESOTA 3:30 pm ABC/ESPN
October 24 @ Michigan TBA
October 31 @ Northwestern 4:30pm ESPN/ESPN2
November 7 OHIO STATE TBA
November 14 INDIANA TBA
November 21 @ Michigan State TBA

Six games still need to have television rights and kickoff times assigned to them.  At this stage, and not knowing if there are limits for appearances on a network and details of any contracts, I would guess that the Eastern Illinois game would be a lock for the Big Ten Network (BTN).  Ohio State figures to be picked up by the ABC/ESPN team as well as the Michigan and Michigan State games.

The Indiana game could find a home on the Big Ten Network.
