Duke football’s Friday night battle with Florida State remains slated for ESPN2

The ACC announced its Week 8 television schedule on Monday, and Duke is still slated to play Florida State in front of a national audience.

The ACC officially announced its television schedule for Week 8 of the college football season on Monday, and the Blue Devils are still slated to face the Florida State Seminoles on national television.

The conference foes will play on Friday, October 18, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern time, and fans can watch Duke on ESPN2.

The broadcast information remains the same as when it was first announced in May, but in fairness, that was before the reigning conference champions got off to a 1-5 start.

After 23 wins in 2022-23, including a perfect 12-0 regular season last fall, Florida State looks vulnerable in all four facets of the game. The FSU offense is averaging 273.5 total yards per game, a full 65 yards behind the second-worst offense in the ACC, and the secondary surrenders 8.0 yards per attempt through the air.

The Blue Devils lost their first game of the season on Saturday, a 24-14 loss to Georgia Tech that featured two Yellow Jackets touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Duke won’t play again until next Friday, which should help given the fact that some members of the defense played more than 60 snaps due to a lack of depth.

How to watch Trevor Lawrence on ‘ManningCast’: TV channel, time, stream

Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is set to be a guest on ESPN’s “ManningCast” for Monday Night Football. Here’s how to tune in:

The Jacksonville Jaguars are slated to make their “ManningCast” debut later this season when they host the Cincinnati Bengals in a Monday Night Football contest. But Trevor Lawrence will make his first appearance on the show ahead of time.

On Monday, ESPN announced that the Jaguars quarterback will be the second of three guests hosted by Peyton Manning and Eli Manning during a Week 9 game between the Los Angeles Chargers and New York Jets.

While there’s no exact timetable for Lawrence’s appearance, the likely schedule for the night is a first quarter with just the Manning brothers followed by guests on air during the second, third, and fourth quarters. That means Jaguars fans should probably expect Lawrence to appear some time around 10 p.m. ET when the third quarter is already underway.

With the Chargers playing in primetime, it’s hard to imagine the 27-point comeback orchestrated by Lawrence won’t be a subject of conversation at some point during his appearance.

Here’s how to tune in from home when Lawrence joins the Manning brothers Monday night:

ManningCast, Week 9

  • Date: Monday, Nov. 6, 2023
  • Kickoff Time: 8:13 p.m ET
  • Estimated Trevor Lawrence appearance: 10 p.m. ET
  • Location: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ
  • TV Channel: ESPN2
  • Live Stream: ESPN+
  • Commentators: Peyton Manning, Eli Manning

Wisconsin vs. Illinois: Stream, injury report, broadcast info for Saturday

How to watch Wisconsin basketball against the No. 24-ranked Illinois Fighting Illini:

The Wisconsin Badgers play the Illinois Fighting Illini on Saturday afternoon, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

The Badgers are heading on the road to face off against a reeling Illinois Fighting Illini squad, who are coming off a 73-60 upset loss to Northwestern. However, Wisconsin may be missing their leading scorer, Tyler Wahl, after he injured his ankle in the first half against Minnesota on Tuesday night. Wahl has also missed the Badgers’ Thursday practice.

Luckily, Wisconsin can rely on forward Steven Crowl since he has emerged as a consistent playmaker for the Badgers. He has even been their leading scorer over the last three games averaging 19 points per game.

Despite the question marks around the availability of Wahl, it should be a great game to watch as the Badgers will try to knock off another ranked Big Ten team.

Here’s when you should tune in to see the game:

  • Date: Jan. 7, 2022
  • Time: 12:30 p.m. CT
  • TV Channel: ESPN2
  • Live Stream: fuboTV (watch here)

Players to watch:

Points Leaders:

  • Wisconsin forward Tyler Wahl: 13.2 PPG
  • Illinois guard Terrence Shannon Jr.: 17.1 PPG

Rebounds Leaders:

  • Wisconsin forward Steven Crowl: 6.5 RPG
  • Illinois forward Coleman Hawkins: 6.4 RPG

Assists Leaders:

  • Wisconsin forward Steven Crowl: 3.2 APG
  • Illinois forward Coleman Hawkins: 3.6 APG

Wisconsin vs. USC: Stream, injury report, broadcast info for Friday

How to watch the Wisconsin Badgers against the USC Trojans in the Battle 4 Atlantis:

The Wisconsin Badgers play the USC Trojans in the Battle 4 Atlantis on Friday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

Although the Badgers fell short of making the finals, they will move on to face the USC Trojans in the third-place game of the Tournament. The Trojans also lost on Thursday but against the Tennessee Volunteers.

Wisconsin will likely turn to forward Tyler Wahl, who dominated in the second half of the matchup against the Jayhawks. His playmaking helped the Badgers to take the lead and nearly beat Kansas. Wisconsin point guard Chucky Hepburn has struggled to score the last few games, and it will be important for him to get going as another go-to option.

Hopefully, the Badgers can get their second victory against the Pac-12 this season, before heading into the Big Ten/ACC Challenge against Wake Forest.

Here’s when you should tune in to see the game:

  • Date: Nov. 24, 2022
  • Time: 12 p.m. CT
  • TV Channel: ESPN2
  • Live Stream: fuboTV (watch here)

Players to watch:

Points Leaders:

  • Wisconsin forward Tyler Wahl: 11.8 PPG
  • USC guard Boogie Ellis: 18 PPG

  • Wisconsin forward Steven Crowl: 7.5 RPG
  • USC guard Drew Peterson: 8.2 RPG

Assists Leaders:

  • Wisconsin point guard Chucky Hepburn: 3.0 APG

Even MLB All-Star Joey Votto was talking Masters while wearing mic for ESPN2 on Opening Day

Joey Votto of the Cincinnati Reds wore a microphone and talked golf and the Masters during a live telecast.

[mm-video type=video id=01g03fbxs11a6zk82mw5 playlist_id=01es6rjnsp3c84zkm6 player_id=01evcfxp4q8949fs1e image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01g03fbxs11a6zk82mw5/01g03fbxs11a6zk82mw5-c5a7cee3b8e017c1083730c8d54f2c14.jpg]

Thursday was the first round of the long-anticipated 2022 Masters.

It was also Opening Day in Major League Baseball.

About two hours west of Augusta National Golf Club, where Tiger Woods is the headliner, the defending World Series champion Atlanta Braves hosted the Cincinnati Reds to kick off the baseball season.

Joey Votto, an All-Star entering his 16th season, wore a microphone for the ESPN2 telecast, which produced some pretty great moments on live TV.

“Each and every one of these Opening Days are special, and they just make you feel so young,” Votto told ESPN2. “Opening Days in Major League Baseball don’t disappoint. And I’m so grateful that I get to be a part of this year’s.”

Later in the game, after a second-inning strikeout, Votto said he wouldn’t be late on another fastball. He wasn’t late on his RBI single an inning later to give the Reds a 2-0 lead in a game they went on to win 6-3.

In the fourth inning, after greeting Atlanta’s Ozzie Albies at first base, Votto started talking golf and the Masters.

Votto also did some play-by-play of a strikeout while standing at first base.

ESPN had previously put mics on MLB players for spring training games and Fox has done it for some MLB All-Star Games.

Men’s Basketball: How to watch, listen as the Sooners get set to host West Virginia

Find out how to watch, listen to Oklahoma men’s basketball as they get set to take on the West Virginia Mountaineers.

In the final week of the regular season, the Oklahoma Sooners men’s basketball team is in crunch time. They aren’t a surefire lock for the NCAA Tournament and their postseason aspirations depend on finishing the season strong.

Next, they host the West Virginia Mountaineers (14-15, 3-11 Big 12) after winning in Morgantown 72-62 the last week of January. Tanner Groves led the way shooting a blistering 9 of 11 from the field and finishing with 21 points. His brother Jacob Groves pitched in 12 and the Sooners walked out with a modest victory.

The Sooners (15-14, 5-11 Big 12) will look to build off their 66-62 overtime win against rival Oklahoma State and continue stacking wins as they look to fill out their tournament resume.

The Mountaineers slumber into the game on a six-game losing streak and are looking to play spoiler for bubble teams like the Sooners and whoever else might line up across them. If the Sooners don’t allow West Virginia to speed them up, they should come up with another win in this one in front of their home crowd on Senior Night.

Wisconsin is coming off of an unexpected loss to Rutgers last week and will be looking to make a statement on the road.

Russell Wilson ends appearance on Manningcast with ‘Go Hawks’

Wilson didn’t say much about his future in the NFL, but he did close off with his signature “Go Hawks” mantra.

Russell Wilson isn’t acting like a player who’s angling to get traded. The Seahawks’ franchise quarterback was a guest on last night’s Manningcast during the Rams’ blowout Wild Card win over the Cardinals.

Wilson didn’t say much about his future in the NFL, but he did close off with his signature “Go Hawks” mantra.

Over the weekend, Ian Rapoport at NFL Network reported that Wilson wants to “explore his options” this offseason.

With two years left on his contract and the Seahawks saying they’re not trading him, those options are fairly limited.
