OSU SPORTS - You have done an excellent job of explaining that which BTN's own FAQ and one of their primary spokesmen ( Silverman) manage to keep obscure.

Thanks. I have tried to stay out of some of the heated posts on here concerning the BTN. I can relate to the anger that a lot of fans feel about not being able to watch OSU on their present cable system. I do feel the need to advance some facts concerning the BTN when I can include them without drawing the anger of some poster on the board. In the long run, the BTN will be good for all Big Ten fans. There will be growing pains, like any business venture. To be able to break away from ESPiN and have the independence of scheduling games, WHEN the member institutions want to instead of being dictated to by the networks will be a big advantage in the years to come. Personally I would rather watch old OSU games on the BTN in the off season, as opposed to spelling bees on ESPN. |

Here is another interview with some differerent questions answered. One I was curious about was the possibility of broadband access to the BTN. If your cable company didn't pick up the BTN, could you buy the game over the internet. Also is a good section on classic games, which I'm very interested in recording.

mgoblog - A Conversation with Mark Silverman
Some interesting points made in this blog entry. I especially like the part about other sports networks and what they charge versus what they carry.

Brian should get extra credit for the correct (ahem, valid) use of cromulent in a college football blog.

Or watch Bob Lantry's FG try go wide right... And I'd love to get the full TV version of the 95 and 96 ND games. The Best of the Buckeyes series stuff just doesn't get it done. I want to see/hear the real broadcast... nothing like listening to Bob Trumpy eating a [censored] sandwich live on NBC/UND Network.
