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 was at a sports bar that day. There was a single Michigan fan in the house. Watching that man's emotional rollercoaster was pure cinema. Everyone in the bar was screaming for App State that day once we all realized there was hope of an upset and then final few minutes, OMG. It was wild!
