Of course, we already have another Buckeye football alum doing games for BTN (Mike Tomczak).

Great news about some Buckeyes, Yeah I Hope that is Scottie Graham. He ran behind Robert Smith If I remember correctly. Also spent a few years in the pros. |

The BTN is inferior. Niche programming with pretty bad football past the top 3 or 4 schools (being generous this year).
Wish the BTN a quick and hasty doom. Especially with how they think its all of the midwest's God given right to have it on their basic lineup or not at all. Gay.

For those of you who live in Ohio, this certainly seems to be a crappy deal.
For me though, I now have a station that shows Buckeye Replay, the Coach's Show (whatever they call it), and replays of games from weeks and years past that I actually care about. This gives me access to things I didn't have before.
For that reason, I hope it lasts. For your sake, I hope that they come to an agreement with the carriers in the "Big 10 footprint", sooner rather than later.

The game announcers are certainly homers too. The other teams got no real notice. I guess that is why it's called the "Big Ten" network.  |

Seems as if many of the major conferences are heading this direction. I think BTN is here to stay, and I'm sure it'll improve, even if the games it covers do not improve much.

Every Major conference is heading in this direction.
I was watching the Eagles today on Fox and the BTN ran an ad slamming Comcast for not carrying the BTN. Pretty good stuff...felt like November in an election year. |
