We got a nice plug from - Buckeye Commentary | An Ohio State Sports Blog, so I thought I'd extend the same to them.

If you've come Buckeye Commentary, welcome. Make yourselves at home. Create a username and make a post. You might get called stupid, but we're all stupid over here anyways

So its probably a little early to ask this but does anyone know if I'd get the big ten network up in minneapolis?? I'm thinking I do, but does anyone think it comes with the gameday package??

It was my impression that Big Ten Network is its own network - not affiliated with ESPN. And that Gameday is part of ESPN. So I don't think the two are affiliated.

It seems to be about whether your cable provider wants to pick it up. Call those guys up and see if they're cool. Or, like so many people have already stated, get one of those dish network deals - direcTV or something. The people posting on here with those deals seem confident that they're going to get their Big Ten Network.

According to the faq's on the network website, it's a done deal with DirecTV and it will be on their Total Choice (basic) package.

If you live in Big 10 country, I couldn't see your local cable company not picking it up...they would be shooting themselves in the foot if they don't imo.

While I agree that it'd be stupid to not pick up the Big Ten Network, I would be very surprised if my cable provider (Time Warner) picks it up. I just seem to get the vibe that they are very reluctant to make their customers happy. Of course, their customers are dolts like me who are too lazy and unmotivated to do anything about it. So I'll probably be sitting here whining about it come football season.
