TV slot for next week
- Thread starter cycloneman42
- Start date
Then I stand corrected. It still wouldn't surprise me if they did that option with the Big XII with the potentially huge game of WVU/KSU.
Here is their rules on TV
Q. When are games selected?
A. Most games are selected with either 12-day or six-day notice to the Conference. The networks each have two opportunities (four total) to select games on six days notices annually. On or before June 1, ABC/ESPN and FOX will pre-select games for the first three Saturdays; special-date games (like Thursdays), games on Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Friday. For the remaining weeks, ABC/ESPN and FOX shall select games no later than Noon CT on the 12th day preceding a Saturday telecast. ABC/ESPN and FOX have the right on four dates to make the final selection no later than Noon CT on the sixth day preceding a Saturday telecast. Generally, homecoming games will be selected at least 12 days in advance, but the Conference must consider an occasional request to use a six-day pick to select a homecoming game of significance.

So they're kind of using the flex option.

I would think they would want it on ABC for the whole revenge thing for last year regardless if we beat KState.
If I had to guess right now, I'd say TTU/TCU gets the 11 AM FX game, ISU/OSU gets the 2:30 ABC game and Baylor/Texas gets the 7 PM ABC game.
I think the TTU/TCU game is definitely the worst of the 3 games.

IMO, the only chance we have at the ABC 7 PM game is if ISU wins, and both Texas and Baylor loose. The only chance TT/TCU has at the 2:30 slot is if TCU beats Baylor and TT beats West Virginia.
I'm pretty sure ISU/OSU will land in the 2:30 ABC slot.

Well, of course you can drink beer before 9, but it is rather gauche. It might be cool and rainy. Bloody Marys or Hot Rum Toddys might work. Oh, and btw, since we take very young grandkids to the games, we've been looking forward to an 11 am kick. And I can't believe I'm saying that. Tough to get old.
ISU VS Texas game on Longhorn, shown on ABC
Keith Murphy @MurphyKeith The Longhorn Network again rears its ugly head to Cyclone fans, but this time, Iowa's ABCs will carry ISU-Texas game too. Smart.
