Ohio St get's the ABC Prime Time Slot 2 straight weeks

[EstronHawkKing]

Yeah, they are the defending champs, but taking on two mediocre teams and they get the 7P slot two straight weeks? Boring football games, hopefully one of the ESPN networks or FOX Sports has a better game to tune into. I guess when you have a former Buckeye in Kirk Herbstreit calling the games, I'm sure has some pull being that he's their PR guy every week. No thanks ABC.

I agree with Estron, here. Pretty nauseated, hearing about Ohio's every move. Yet, they are the defending National Champ, so
it's not surprising.

Great news though that Maryland at IOWA is a 2:30 start, next week!!!

2:30 starts are the best..............Kick Maryland all the way back to the Acc!

Espn trying to hype up Ohio state vs Rutgers is hilarious. They basically just talk about jt Barret

You really think they are hyping the matchup?? lol lmao..

Fact is and it's really simple ESPN is hyping the return of JT to the role of starter for the #1 ranked team in the country. End of story!

I said "trying" and yes they are. I've seen it advertised about 6 times already and during the baylor game they've showed it a few times and even talked about the game.

its a joke

I turned on ESPN 2 at the half of their game and guess what the on air guys were talking about. It's borderline pathetic.

So you don't think this occurs every Saturday afternoon, that a network isn't pimping the evening matchup??? Unreal the things that Ruffles some feathers. Amazing.

 

[DDThompson]

lots of eyeballs from that section of the country going to watch the game. that's why they're in the prime time slot. no surprise that OSU made the change to JT against a poor defense. hasn't Rutgers lost five DBs. wouldn't want Cardale to look good and then bench him just before the big boys come on the schedule.

Yeah, how dare a network advertise the game that it's carrying tonight? If it were Baylor-ISU in primetime, they'd be advertising for that game constantly, too.
