Nice to see FS1 break the ESPN monopoly on bowl games...

Foster Farms Bowl, Wed. Dec. 27, at 8:30 PM ET on FOX & Holiday Bowl to FS1, Thursday 12/28 at 9:00pm ET with a 30-minute pregame show...Both match-up are the Pac-12 vs B1G.

would mean I'm guessing opening Big East games would be on Tuesday 12/26 (maybe) and more likely Wedensday 12/27(much more likely). Guess you could see a 630pm tip on 12/28 before the Holiday Bowl.

It won't be December 26st, as nobody plays the day after Christmas.

yeah, you're probably right. So I would anticipate a lot on the 27th, with 1 on the 28th. Then a bunch on Saturday the 30th.

Layoffs aren't just happening at ESPN. Stewart Mandel among those let go by Fox.

Wow just saw some possibly HUGE news- Jamie Horowitz got fired from Fox. reportedly for a possible Sexual Harassment charge.

Will be really interesting to see what changes with FS1 now.

wow just heard that Stink- aka Mark Schereth- has left ESPN and is now with FS1.

To me, he was one of the good guys for NFL coverage on ESPN. a great move for FS1 IMO.

Looks like FS2 will get some live college football games this year. So far:

9/2: Liberty at Baylor
9/9: East Carolina at West Virginia

yeah will get a few. It'll be interesting to see if that helps FS2 out some. That's the thing that ESPN has over FS probably the most of anything- the 2nd channel. If ESPN needs a 2nd channel, ESPN2 is in just as many homes, and folks know where it is. If Fox needs a 2nd channel, FS2 isn't in anywhere near as many homes, and for some that are in, it's still in SD(try watching anything now in SD is painful). We saw it a few years ago when the Nats and Giants had that what was it 18 inning game. There were UFC prelims that were supposed to be on FS1, but they had to move it actually to FX rather than FS2.
