That's great. Our NJ players are going to love beating the home state team in front of their family and friends in a prime time game.
ABC/ESPN B1G prime-time games to be announced at 3 p.m.
- Thread starter Local Shill
- Start date
Great for recruiting. Urban will announce NJ commitments right after the game. He loves eating all the candy in prime time.
I guess we got cache [sic]...
I think 2 am to 6 am ought to be labelled, "dope, munchies and giggles."
That depends on how the team is doing. If we come in with like three losses including a non competive loss to msu the crowd will be more osu biased.

Thank you NYC market. I think as long as we're a decent team, we'll get a couple primetime games. If we suck then I wouldn't expect it though. If we're actually really good, as in perennially contending for the conference, then I'd expect even more.
Do we have start times for any of our OOC games?
I would not be surprised to see the Wazzou game at night on BTN, for example.
I actually wouldn't mind it being a nooner - Make them adjust to crazy time zone shifts for a change.

I don't want to rain on the parade but it's not guaranteed that the Ohio State game will actually be nationally televised.
From MattSarz's blog:
"A reminder that the Big Ten primetime games don't necessarily have to be full national. Just the 3:30pm Eastern time games. Last year the Illinois at Ohio St. & Oklahoma St. at Kansas St. games were split national on ABC and the only other way to watch the other game was ESPN3, not ESPN or ESPN2."

That said, I think there's a good chance the game ends up on ESPN or ESPN2 (which obviously are national) instead, making the above a moot point.

Yeah, I know. There's only a small chance this will be an issue but just pointing it out. I know we have a lot of posters from Cali.
tickets will be gone long before we play MSU. Question will be if anyone cares at that point.
correct me if I'm wrong but if it wasn't carried nationally wouldn't it be on BTN2 or 3?
The tickets will be gone yes.
But assume a plausible bad start- we lose to WSU, PSU, and get blown out by MSU. Do you think RU fans are all holding on to those tickets when OSU fans are willing to overpay to see their team likely blow ours out?
If by some chance it was an ABC split national game, ESPN3 would show in areas where it wasn't on over the air.
I think that people who purchased them ahead of time would rather see the NC's play live then sell them at a lose. Hardcore OSU fans are going to plan ahead and I don't think casual fans will overpay if RU fans try a ticket dump.
