Fox, ESPN, CBS TV early announcements for CFB season
Saw Fox announce a few football games today with their up fronts....
Texas/Oklahoma October 6
Michigan/Michigan St October 20
Michigan/Ohio St November 24

Looking at the Big Ten the home OOC schedule doesn't look so great- so wouldn't be surprised if ESPN gets as their top 2 choices Ohio St/Penn St and Ohio St/Michigan St.

Ohio St-Penn St seems like a no-brainer.

The Big Ten got a provision in their TV contracts that the networks can't move a November game to nighttime unless the teams agree. ESPN, presumably, wouldn't use one of its top picks on Ohio St-Mich St (Nov. 10) unless the schools agree to play the game in east coast prime time. Another attractive Nov. 10 game is Wisconsin-Penn St -- Wisconsin's schedule is (again) so soft that as long as the Badgers win at Michigan, they should be 9-0 when they kickoff at Penn St.

they might be ok not moving it to prime time. Why? NBC has that night Florida St/Notre Dame in prime time. So get the 1st choice of games that week and be able to choose whichever is stronger between Ohio St/Mich St or Wisconsin/Penn St(up to 6 days prior to game day).

No rush. Haven't even had fresh corn, local watermelons, or my asswipe neighbor complain about fireworks yet.

*I'm long past fireworks shooting but I root for the fireworks kids long as they stop on the 4th.

They start the fireworks the weekend before the 4th and go until the weekend after in my neighborhood. I too am long past setting them off. My youngest is 28 but my grandkids love them.

I judge how good the 4th was by how much fireworks debris I get into my pool. The more stuff I'm cleaning out of my pool, the better the 4th is. I can handle that.

I don't mind the fireworks, but in my neck of the woods it's the gunfire that lasts all night that bothers me. I won't even let my dogs out of the house until those guys sober up.

I want it to come. I'm at the age when I can do without summer, LOL. Loved it as a kid and young adult, now it's just months of baking heat with nothing to redeem it.

And loads of baseball, endless days of baseball, LOL. 07-coffee3

The number of ESPN3 games are dwarfed by the number of ESPN+ games. Overall, excellent job getting every game on a solid reliable platform. No more CUSA Digital Networks only football games.
