ESPNU Road Trip spent the weekend in Palo Alto, Calif. with Stanford hosting UCLA. During the show, which airs Wednesday, hosts Niki Noto and Ali Nejad tour the team’s new facilities, spend some time with coach David Shaw and the Stanford Cardinal sailing team. The duo also visited Electronic Arts in Silicon Valley and tailgated on game day at The Farm.
This week’s Wednesday show airs at a special time, 10:30 p.m. ET (7:30 p.m. PST) on ESPNU. Next week ESPNU Road Trip, capturing the tradition and revelry of campuses all over the country, travels to Maryland.
ESPNU All-Access Goes Inside Cincinnati
ESPNU All-Access takes viewers inside the University of Cincinnati on Wednesday at 5 p.m. ESPNU cameras are at meetings and head coach Tommy Tuberville, along with assistants Darin Hinshaw and Art Kaufman are wired at practice. Plus, athletic trainer Bob Mangine demonstrates the Dynavision system which not only improves eye vision, but is linked to reducing player concussions. Tuberville and junior linebacker Jeff Luc also discuss the tragic loss of freshman offensive lineman Ben Flick and how they are honoring his memory.
Next week ESPNU All-Access features Northern Illinois.

The half-hour program airs before and after the GEICO ESPN High School Football Showcase live telecast of a game involving Probst’s former school, Hoover (Ala.), against Tuscaloosa (Ala.)
