I'm glad our league is getting national exposure, but that sure seems like a rather weak game, to be the first televised college football game of the year.

I don't know how you can say any game is weak for the first televised college football game of the year. IT'S COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!! Oh, how I miss you college football.

I think the ad just said it was the ESPN network's first televised game of the year. I would imagine that ABC or one of the other networks would have a marquee matchup to start the season.
