Big Ten Network

[LitlBuck]

My wife would like to go why the BTN cannot find a sponsor or perhaps does not have the technology the first and 10 line which almost all the other networks use. It doesn't bother me too much but it is helpful to a certain extent.

The replay of Minnesota at Ohio State at 7:00 PM.

Don't know if I will be able to what it since that is the same time 60 minutes is on

Was the Minny game the first game you've watched on BTN? They use the blue line of scrimmage line and the yellow first down line in every telecast sans the Minny game. They must have had some technical difficulties or something. And yes, other than Nissan, their sponsors suck.

I have had the BTN for over a (Insight) and never really noticed it until my wife pointed it out to me yesterday. They must have had technical difficulties amongst other things

Their color analyst, Davis, said during the game when questioned by the play-by-play guy which QB out of the 3 who played who would he take... he said "Weber"

One thing that puzzles me about the BTN is this. You would think that they would broacast more than one BIG TEN game on saturdays. Well at least three games at the most, but they do not. Last year I think they did and I wonder why they have stopped. I maybe wrong here.

I don't understand the whole one time slot for games either. I would think that they would be better off showing three games in two or three different time slots.

There is a first down/line of scrimmage highlight on the BTN. The problem is that it's sponsored by RO*TEL and the line is made up of diced green chilies, so you just can't see it because it blends in with the grass.

ALso the BTN played alot of "BigTens Greatest games " which was fine by me but during the regular season they should be able to broadcast more than just one game. Maybe they don't have the sufficient funds and personell to handle all that. During the week they will show some replays/ at least i think they do.
