I can't imagine OSU vs. scUM on BTN...if it is, both cities (CBUS, AA) will go down in flames from rioting, and the BTN will forever be known as in the words of Bobby Bouche's mother..."The Devil." And thats a gaurantee. |

Big 10 games on that day (13OCT) are: - Wisconsin @ Penn State - Clearly Disney's First Choice
- Illinois @ Iowa
- Purdue @ tsun
- Indiana @ MSU
- Minnesota @ Northwestern
- Iowa and Illinois both have probable losses vs. PSU and Wisconsin before that day.
- If the Buckeyes stumble in West Lafayette, the Boilermakers will likely be undefeated. It's possible that this would be the second choice. If the Buckeyes take care of the Boilers and tsun continues their implosion, maybe not.
- Indiana and MSU both have a chance to have only one loss before this day in history. Depending on what else is going on, this has a chance of being a lucrative choice as strange as that sounds.
- Minne @ Northwestern has crap-fest written all over it.
Based solely on OSU's fan base, our game with Kent State may be as high as the second choice and as low as the fifth. If it is the second choice, I have to doubt that the BTN would spend one of their second choices on this game.

OSU fans frustrated by unavailability of football games
Some cable subscribers losing patience amid network vs. cable flap.

There are times when Dayton resident Denny Singleton is mistaken for one of the most popular people in the state.
"I've been asked for my autograph," said Singleton, 59. "Or it's, 'Hi, Jim.' "
But there seems to be one major difference between Singleton and Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel.
"People say the only thing is he has a little more gray hair," Singleton said.
For Singleton and other area Ohio State fans, more gray hair could be coming. Three weeks after the Big Ten Conference launched its own network, Time Warner Cable customers ? along with a majority of cable subscribers in the eight Big Ten states ? still don't have the Big Ten Network in their homes.

Brennaman brings kiss of death to Big Ten booth
By Kyle Nagel

Some thoughts and observations about college football, as I wonder when most of the Top 25 will start playing like the Top 25:
? You don't want Thom Brennaman broadcasting your games. Brennaman, who works as the lead play-by-play man for the Big Ten Network, was in the booth for Appalachian State's upset of Michigan and Ohio State's lackluster performance against Akron. On Saturday, he was in Madison when Wisconsin entered the second half tied with The Citadel. The Badgers eventually pulled away and won 45-31.

How do you know you're trying too hard? When you write a story for a real newspaper calling a guy the "Kiss of Death" and then point to 3 games the man was in some way involved with, only one of which resulted in an upset, but then make the other games (which were wins by the favorites) sound like they could have gone either way... especially if the game was only 30 minutes long and not 60.
