Let us know when they are not on BTN. Getting to feel like the Texas Network. Except it's the Ohio State Network.
 
This doesn't bother me. This is Ohio State's year, and they will probably be the best team in the conference. It's okay by me to let the rest of the country see the best team that we'll have this year.

BTN has been running "Games of the Year." Did Iowa have any "Games of the Year" last year?

If you would like to watch crappy football 24/7, maybe you would rather watch last year's Minnesota vs. New Hampshire, or Nebraska vs. Idaho State?

You guys do realize that, nationally speaking, the Big 10 was largely considered a laughingstock last year. The Big 10 has a prerogative to push OSU just to stop being a punchline. If BTN is supposed to be a truly national network, that's what they need to do.
 
I really the thing BTN has a conflict of interest with the state of Big 10 football. They need to drive to ratings to make more money. To drive up ratings they need people the big guys to stay good and have hype around them. Air time on BTN is a way to drive hype and hype drives recruiting. Conspiricy maybe but still not happy about it haha
 
I've been watching a lot of these games as I get ready for work each morning. As a B10ish college football fan, really enjoying watching good, relevant teams with competitive schemes and winning strategies play interesting games.

I missed a lot of these last year while at Kinnick -- experiencing the torment in person -- or watching the train wreck on TV. By the time the weekly ordeal was finished, I'd have to escape the mental and emotional trauma from what I'd witnessed through alcoholic self-medication or avoid games altogether for fear of watching good football would expose just how horrible the Hawks were.

The cummulative effect of the last 4-5 years, culminating in a complete break last season ... it's taken me nearly 11 months to regain some interest in college football. Watching good teams play good ball is the best way to ease back in as Aug 31 and 6 more after that are quickly approaching. (Yes, my wife badgered me into renewing the season duckits.) I just hope I don't go PTSD
 
I understand, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. Seeing the same football and basketball games on the BTN all the time gets very old and I can't see how the redundancy can really help their ratings.
 
Name one Iowa game you would want to re-watch? They had last years game vs Sparty on recently and it was just as brutal to watch the second time. All Iowa has to do to be on the network during the next off season is win games. Replaying the loss to directional Michigan schools aren't exactly going to keep people tuned into the network. It isn't that complicated.

You assume that the only games to be replayed are from previous season. I don't assume that. There are lots of older OSU games being shown. The frequently show older games. They just show the same 6 iowa games over and over - that is when they show Iowa games.
 
I would rather watch a documentary about the nineties Nebraska Cornhusker dynasty produced by the University of Nebraska.
 
I hate....hate....everything tOSU. :mad:

With that vented, you have to put the best team on the stage and let them dance. The better they are, the better the rest of the league will look in comparison. (Also, scUM needs to get relevant, like really relevant, again).

I just choose not to watch any of the cheating drivel.
