here are 3 articles on the topic from yesterday and today:

https://africa.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/45363617/texas-ad-chris-del-conte-clarifies-ohio-state-game-change-proposal-refutes-nil-football-roster-payout-report

https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football/2025/05/156333/texas-athletic-director-chris-del-conte-had-no-interest-in-moving-ohio-state-vs-texas-to-sunday-i-ve-got-to-go-to

https://frontofficesports.com/fox-was-willing-to-move-ohio-state-texas-from-noon-to-primetime-texas-said-no/

the articles are consistent:

- each headline blames Texas for refusing a night game

- each article then corrects itself to correctly state Texas refused to change the day from saturday to sunday, but then carries forward with the narrative that Texas has refused a night game

- each article downplays or does not mention at all how a move from saturday to sunday would 1) impact the week 1 / week 2 competitive cadence for the Texas football team, 2) impact the operations and logistics for the Texas football program and 3) the impact on the logistics and travel arrangements for Texas fans less than 100 days out

- each article does not mention fox's baseball contract which prevents a move to a night game on the day the game is contractually scheduled

- each article does not mention the early-exit negotiation with fox that moved the michigan game to pay 0u's early exit fees to fox, and that the subject of moving the previously contracted day of this year's ohio state game was not discussed during that early-exit negotiation (narrator: why not?)

- each article does not mention our night game win at the shoe in 2005, nor is their mention of the zombie townies attack on Texas fans 3 and 4 times older than said zombie scum

in summary, as far as all other parties are concerned, any viewpoint or statement of fact regarding the agency of Texas in these matters is not necessary to support the narrative (attack) they are attempting to portray in the national media, so....

FUCK THEM ALL

not our problem

and i still maintain CDC should call a presser and put it on fox and bjork to agree to move the game forward 18 hours and kick at 7pm eastern the day before on Friday night

If anyone is able to get to the bottom of all this, it'll be africa.espn.com

Ohio State is desperate for a prime time game at home.

i have a cunning plan

bjork can ask fox to write a check to major league baseball for a one-time exception to their contract with fox so fox can have that time slot for a national college football game

then bjork can impose a tariff on all tosu students of let's say, $500 each, to reimburse the other 15 teams in the b1g for the check fox had to write

yes

this is brilliant

IT'S A CUNNING PLAN

Sept. 11, 2005 – Texas 25, Ohio State 22
 
No. 4-ranked Ohio State was defeated by No. 2 Texas, 25-22, in the first-ever meeting between the schools in front of a record crowd of 105,565 Saturday in Ohio Stadium.
 
Josh Huston kicked a school and stadium record five field goals (45 yards, 36, 25, 44, 26). Santonio Holmes had 36-yard touchdown reception from Troy Smith and finished with 73 yards on four catches to lead the Buckeyes. Antonio Pittman had a team-best 75 yards on 17 carries.
 
A.J. Hawk had an interception, two sacks, a team-high 12 tackles (including three for loss), a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
 
For Texas, quarterback Vince Young was 18-for-29 for 270 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He also rushed for 76 yards on 20 carries. Receiver Billy Pittman had 130 yards on five catches.
 
Texas scored on its first and second possessions of the game to claim a 10-0 first-quarter lead.
 
Holmes took the ensuing kickoff and raced 47 yards, leading to a Huston connection from 45 yards out to pull the Buckeyes within a 10-3 score in the second quarter.
 
The Buckeyes followed with a nine-play, 80-yard drive that saw quarterback Troy Smith complete a 36-yard pass to Holmes in the corner of the end zone to tie the score.
 
Huston’s leg gave the Buckeyes a 13-10 lead with 4:33 to play before halftime.
 
Hawk fell on a fumble on the ensuing Texas possession to give the ball back to Ohio State. Nine plays later, Huston kicked his third field goal of the night to build the Buckeye lead to 16-10 with 35 seconds to play before intermission. Texas pulled within three points on a Pino 37-yard field goal with two seconds left in the opening half.
 
In the second half, another Texas turnover led to anther Huston field goal. On the Longhorns’ second play of their first second-half drive, Vince Young threw his second interception of the game as safety Nate Salley picked off a ball tipped by linebacker Bobby Carpenter. Six plays later, Huston booted his fourth field goal of the game, this time connecting from 44 yards to give the Buckeyes a 19-13 lead with 11:46 to play in the third quarter.
 
After the Longhorns pulled within three, 19-16, on a 25-yard Pino field goal, Huston tied a school and Ohio Stadium record with his fifth field goal of the game to retake a six-point lead. His connection from 26 yards out made the score 22-16 with 5:12 to play.
 
The Longhorns tied the game on a Young 24-yard touchdown pass to Limas Sweed with 2:37 left in the fourth quarter. Pino put Texas ahead with the extra point. The seven-play drive covered 67 yards and took 2:23 off the clock.
 
On the next drive, Ohio State fumbled and the Longhorns recovered on the OSU 21 with 2:19 left. Texas did not score on the drive, turning the ball over to OSU on downs inside the 1-yard line. On the first play from scrimmage, Smith was sacked in the end zone for a safety, pushing the Texas lead to 25-22.
 
Ohio State attempted an onside kick following the safety, but it was recovered by Texas, giving the Longhorns possession at the OSU 32. V. Young took a knee to run out the clock.

One last thought from Destin:

A year ago during these meetings, Texas felt somewhat like an SEC outcast, a program on the periphery.

This week, there was none of that.

Texas was front and center as much as any program. The SEC has embraced Texas and the success of Texas as a conference member.

Yes, there may be some who are smarting about it (Aggies will always be Aggies). But the general feel is “welcome to the club”.

what is the night game on secn/+ on the 13th that justifies 315 for utep?

It's not SEC+ that's the issue. It's they don't want us splitting the ratings anymore when they have these 3 better matchups.

Arkansas at Ole Miss – 7:00pm or 7:45pm, ESPN or SEC Network
Vanderbilt at South Carolina – 7:00pm or 7:45pm, ESPN or SEC Network
Florida at LSU – 7:30pm, ABC

Yeah kind of hard to not welcome Texas in when they kicked the door in and basically ran the conference in it's first year.

Oh shit, I forgot about the early SEC conference start since they ALL have that fucking middle of November creampuff scheduled.

It was always so fucked up looking at conference records last year and having aggie ahead of us all season cause they played that 1 SEC game in September and we we were a game behind.

Are we going to start doing that creampuff shit? That's so embarrassing to have a week where everyone's playing Nicholls State or whatever.

Well, we're never playing an FCS team, that's for sure.

I hope not, I hope the 9 game conference schedule makes it go away...it's really a competitive advantage that aggie get's blinn or whoever the week before playing us, and we get a legitimate SEC team.

A guy who won a natty and only lost like 2 games in college? I'll take it!

I was going to be happy with a Quinn that didn't self sack, trip over his own feet, and could hit the deep ball once in awhile.

We play creampuffs too, just not FCS ones. I’d be in favor of playing someone like SJSU/UTEP/Sam Houston in November. If we’re going to watch a dogshit team at home let’s at least not do it in the searing heat. Plus, if we had a conference game in the first 2-3 weeks of the season odds would be much better those games would be in primetime…

Yeah, I think if we play an SEC team in September instead of our standard OOC fare, we're getting more of a likelihood of a night game. If we're competing against SEC games with games against San Jose State and Texas schools, we're going to get relegated to shitty times quite often. We don't have the LHN to absorb one of those games now and even when we had it, that didn't mean we're playing at night. The problem is our schedule is pretty locked in till 2030 unless we stay at 8 conference games. I guess we can push one of the cupcakes to move the game to November but they also have conference slates to play then.

I unironically think that Arch will be our best QB since VY. On par with Trevor Lawrence. 

He's huge. Dude is big enough to play defensive end. He's also shockingly fast. Do y'all remember him outrunning the entire UTSA secondary? He's big, he's fast, but he also runs hard and is willing to lower the boom on tackling defenders. In fact, we might need to coach that out of him to avoid injuries. He's got a great arm. Tons of power and accuracy. His body control and footwork are also phenomenal, so he has a solid base for deep shots but can also throw on the move. His processing and decision-making is off the charts, and will only improve as he gets more time under center. The team also seems to respond to him in a big way. 

Watching his highlights from '24 and even '23, I can't wait to watch him play this season. The game and landscape has changed so much since VY and 2005, but this season has the potential to be on par with how great that season was. 

We're in high cotton, gents.
