With the win over Pitt, any chance we can get Fox Big Noon for the Oklahoma game?

If UC wins next week I'd say the chances are very high. They need to promote the new product in the Big 12, Urban being an alum is a good side story, and it'll likely be a Top 25 game.

Yes

There's a chance, but we need to root against Colorado and Oregon next week. Both could be top 10 or close to it by the 23rd. Then factor in the Prime hype and that Oregon will be B1G next year. That will be their top choice if both are undefeated.

TV guru Matt Sarz had us at noon on Fox as of today.

Colorado was just on the big noon game.

UC v Okies.

And they announced yesterday that they're staying in Boulder next week. That's three weeks in a row where Colorado is playing. Nothing tells me that they won't make it four in Eugene if both teams win next week. I'm not saying it's right. I'm saying that FOX is going to hump the Prime hype train for as long as they can.

I thought McMurphy tweeted a the Fox Big Noon schedule a couple weeks ago and it had Oklahoma At UC for week 4. Is there a chance that changes?

I'm not as familiar with how Fox produces Big Noon. Would they do a similar production to Gameday with a big crowd on the greenspace by TUC, with guest commentators, local celebrities, etc.? If so, it's just another great UC story in the national spotlight.

Starts in a similar vein, then they move the back quarter of the telecast to a set in one of the stadium concourses.

I'd say there is a good chance. I'd be shocked if they did Oregon being it would be a 9:00 AM kickoff out there, so that seems like a no go.

Good point. And there are good storylines for UC/OK. Media love a packed Nippert; OK is back in the hunt nationally and UC is exceeding early expectations. I'm guessing we'll get the noon kickoff and Big Noon festivities.

Nearly 15 million viewers over two weeks will do that to you.
