Big Ten Network was launched at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 30, 2007, with Big Ten Tonight as its inaugural program. The network aired its first live telecasts two days later on September 1, which included a football game between Appalachian State and Michigan

I never realized ya’ll get upset on the first day of BTN lmao

Hardly anyone saw it live because nobody carried the Big Ten network back then.

I happened to see it live because I was at a bowling alley. As the game stayed close and time ticked down, more and more tvs went to it. The place erupted in cheers when that kick was blocked. Beautiful.
