CHICAGO - They are epic sports battles that are etched in hearts and minds of Big Ten fans across the nation. They are unforgettable moments that stir passion and pride. They are echoes of both triumphant victories and devastating defeats. Throughout the fall, college football fans will have the opportunity to relive 24 of those match-ups on the Big Ten Network series, "The Big Ten's Greatest Games."
The Big Ten Network will televise two classic games each week throughout the football season. "The Big Ten's Greatest Games" will highlight some of the best moments in the rich histories of all 11 Big Ten football programs.
Series producers have interviewed many legendary players and coaches from those games along with those who were on hand to cover the event. Their insight and memories will be integrated into each episode.
Big Ten Network President Mark Silverman said the "Greatest Games" series honors the legacy of the conference's recent past, and will be a consistent presence year-round. "We know that these are the games that our fans talk about most, and we know they will love to see them time and again," he said.
The series premieres August 30 at 9 p.m. ET, 8 p.m. CT, with the 2006 Ohio State-Michigan "Game of the Century" before settling into its regular time slot with back-to-back episodes on Tuesday nights beginning at 6 p.m. ET, 5 p.m. CT.
