LOL what an asinine story.

 

TV decides kickoff times, not the schools. And certainly not the AWAY team.

I guess Fox had some willingness to move it to Sunday, but we said no.

And rightly so.  Then we'd have a short week to travel back to Austin for a game the next Saturday

Yeah this is the part of the reporting that being left out. Texas doesn't want to move to sunday, and rightfully so.

But it's being pushed as "Oh noes, Texas is a scared of the Bright Lights in the Shoes!!!!"

Assuming Texas did have some say on what day this particular game would be played (and I could see that being the case given the reported negotiations between the Big 12/Texas/Fox/ESPN about allowing Texas to get out of the Big 12 a season early), I would think Texas would prefer to play the game on Saturday for all of the logistical reasons stated above (fans already having travel plans, not wanting a short week for the team, etc.).  I could also see ESPN not wanting Texas to agree to move the game to compete directly with their stand-alone broadcast the next day.

Eh, didn't scare us twenty years ago.  Doubt it would now.

I mean.... I would hope we angle to be the noon game anyway. We have a better chance of winning with a sleepy, less liquored up crowd. Primetime is fun, but fuck asking for it.

We improved special teams a ton via the portal IMO.

Yeah, he needs to update his algorithm via returning/added production via the portal.  It is possible that our DT rotation could once again be fucking insane.

i'm all for the game being moved to 3:30 or 7:30 local kick in columbus... on SATURDAY..

But screw them moving it to Sunday where i already have flights leaving early that morning.. I would have to spend more money into changing that and paying for an extra night at a hotel.

They announced that we were playing on Aug 30th a while back.. and i made plans around it.

Best quote from old Mack when asked pregame about the team playing at night in the shoe in 05, “ we’ve played in nice places before we’ll be ok “ Texas has played many a teams Super Bowl all over the country, and the media still acts as if we’ve been irrelevant till now. It’s weird and maddening considering these are the ppl that have been covering the sport for a while. Haters gonna hate I guess.

EXACTLY...they simply think it's "Scared to play at night" when we've already made plans and and such.

Also...scared to play in the Shoe after we went to the Big House Last year in Non Conference, and TO Bama at night the year before?

Texas is the ONE team you can't say is scared to play anywhere.

It's not because of that. It's because they're sick of 11am start times.

2024 they had 7
2023 they had 6

That’s the Big 10’s fault. Not ours

of note, the number of 11am kicks they've dealt with is zero

we are conditioned to the "BIG NOON" kick being 11am local, central time

i am extremely pleased we told them to fuck off

we had to give these 2 games to the b1g to pay off 0u's early exit and the financials were specifically negotiated around fox's NOON EASTERN economics

if a night game was a better deal for fox, then it should have been negotiated that way, so it was also a better deal for us

OH AND FUCK FOX AND THE RIG12 AND YORMARK AND ALL THE ANKLE BITERS

AND MOST ESPECIALLY, FUCK TIM BRANDO AND FUCK YOU KEVIN MAR YOU BIASED SON OF A BITCH!

happy memorial day everyone

I'm still bitter about having to play 'Bama at fucking 11am in Texas in early September.  

exactly - unpossible to move a september austin game to primetime, but certainly possible to give the zombie horde columbus townies an extra 6 hours to attack and harass our fanbase

It's hard stay sober until 7:00pm on Saturdays in the fall.  I love me some morning and early afternoon games.

Fuck OSU. Leave it Saturday and move on. Wouldn’t do those bitches any type of favor. 

yeah, Fox was getting heat by the fans.. but they did a smooth move here.. No way were they willing to move the game to a later start time.. so instead said hey let's air it Sunday evening while ABC is airing their game.. KNOWING Texas would most likely turn it down..

So now they can save face and tell those mouthbreathers.. "see it's Texas fault"...

I hope Ohio State gets another 7 Big Noon kickoff games this year. It's going to be hilarious. 

See if Penn State will move their kickoff to a different day to make that a prime time matchup. It's the Horseshoe! At night! Hahahahaha!

They have an ass schedule for 2025, 4 games for sure will be 11am games with 2.5 maybes depending on Washington/Minnesota

We just lost to a team with 3 first round WR’s. That should be the goal. 

I don’t know man; I feel like the goal should be to win…

It’s pretty funny, fox is going to choose a Big 12 or Big 10 game almost every week for that noon time slot, when Texas and Oklahoma left the big 12 there went the two biggest tv draws. Then with Michigan not playing well, 9 am starts on the west coast would suck so they have to try and avoid those 4 teams.

Default Ohio State at noon again. 

Couldn’t happen to a better group of people.

Quoted for multiple truths. They definitely need a B1G in their B1G Noon slot. Not a lot of love on West coast for 9AM games.

this is glorious

the article is bordering on aggy delusion of agency when they have none

5%, only FIVE PERCENT understand there are no night games on fox on saturdays until the world series is over

about 20% of the comments understand the tv contract with their league fucks them on the reg because of the fox big noon bullshit

about 40% are blaming fox, and that includes the 20% who understand the base contract subject and the fox/mlb contract

the other 60% are mouth-breathers calling us pussies and cowards and like the article itself FAIL to recall we've already won at the shoe at night

NONE OF THEM have any clue about the negotiation between us, 0u, yormark, snakey, fox and disney, that resulted in the flip with michigan and the payoff to fox that made 0u's early exit possible

if tosu wanted a night game on a friday or sunday those negotiations would have been the time to do it - we could have worked something out with san jose state and the sec to move bye weeks and other games so we would not have a short week if it was sunday, and hell yeah to a friday night game

oh, and 30% are threatening RETRIBUTION by insisting on an 11am kick in austin next year!!!!!!!!   bbbwwwwaaaaahhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

this series has had 3 schedule changes that i can find, the last change having something to do with having a game with washington that was contracted before the pac collapse

https://theozone.net/2020/01/ohio-state-texas-football-series/

tl/dr: they are a bunch of ignorant townies and if they win this first game i can see them trying to cancel the return game in austin

we should respond with move this game to Austin and Sunday primetime then 

oh no - they want the big noon kick next year "to punish us".....  we, who have been subjected to the fox fuckery of "big noon" kicks at 11am local for the past 15 years.....

Posted

and just to make sure it's not lost in the shuffle, CDC should call their bluff and propose friday night 29 august 7pm eastern

we'll take your night game you want so bad, and fox will pay espn 50% of fox's profit from our game in ann arbor last year, our game in columbus this year, and then espn will gladly split the profits with fox from tosu's trip to austin in '26 and michigan's trip to austin in '27

advantage: jort townies

abracadabra

see, aggy, we're all about the league!
