Ohio State’s Rivalry Game vs. Michigan Officially Set for Noon Kickoff on FOX Once Again

Ohio State vs. Michigan is officially scheduled for a noon kickoff on FOX, but it appears one of Ohio State’s games against Indiana or Oregon will avoid the Big Noon slot.

Ohio State’s Rivalry Game vs. Michigan Officially Set for Noon Kickoff on FOX Once Again​

Login to view embedded media
It will be FOX’s ninth straight broadcast of The Game dating back to 2017. FOX has broadcast the Ohio State vs. Michigan game every year except 2020, when The Game was canceled due to a COVID-19 outbreak at Michigan, since becoming the Big Ten’s primary television partner in 2017.

The Game routinely draws the largest audience of any game in the entire college football regular season, as it did last year, when 18.4 million people watched the Buckeyes’ 27-9 win over the Wolverines.

In a somewhat more surprising development, the other regular-season game FOX announced it will be airing this year wasn‘t Ohio State’s Big Ten Championship Game rematch with Indiana on Oct. 17 or its home game against Oregon on Nov. 7. Instead, FOX announced it will televise Michigan’s home game against Oklahoma on Sept. 12.

Ohio State plays at Texas on Sept. 12, but that game will likely air at 7:30 p.m. on ABC, which controls the rights to that game as the SEC’s television partner since the Longhorns are the home team.

Assuming FOX used one of its top three picks in this year’s Big Ten TV network draft to secure the rights to Michigan/Oklahoma, that likely means one of the Ohio State/Indiana or Ohio State/Oregon games will air on CBS and NBC. A home night game at the Shoe remains unlikely, however, because NBC has already announced it will air Notre Dame’s Nov. 7 game against Miami in its 7:30 p.m. time slot. As such, Ohio State vs. Oregon appears likely to be a 3:30 p.m. game on CBS, as it would be a surprise if FOX passed up the opportunity to air Buckeyes vs. Hoosiers, a matchup of college football’s last two national champions.

Ohio State vs. Michigan at noon is the first kickoff time to be officially announced for the Buckeyes’ 2026 season. TV networks and kickoff times for the first three weeks of the season are typically announced in May, so those details will likely be set for Ohio State’s non-conference games against Ball State (Sept. 5), Texas (Sept. 12) and Kent State (Sept. 19) later this month.

FOX also made it official on Monday that it will air the Big Ten Championship Game on Dec. 5. The 2026 Big Ten Championship Game was originally set to air on NBC, but FOX bought the game back last month, reportedly paying between $45-55 million to NBC while also giving NBC the rights to one additional Big Ten game this season.

2026 tOSU Offense Discussion

That’s stupid as hell. If anyone’s leash is getting shortened I’d have to think it’s Bowen’s since his unit is singularly the primary cause of losing our two biggest games.

Maybe I’m dumb for thinking that though so who knows

Bingo. Overall the OL play and recruiting has marginally improved imo...but those games demonstrate we haven't hit on a really elite OL unit in a bit. I get that the two games were against elite defensive fronts, but we need elite OL play and that's the standard.

We played smear the queer too but I remember it more like someone had a ball and everyone chased him, knocked him down, dog piled and whoever got the ball was the queer it repeated over and over.

We played it in the 60s elementary school gym class by having two teams on opposite sides of the gym and trying to nail members of the other team. We used all different sized balls. The bigger softer ones were kinda pointless but God help you if you got blasted in the face by one of the small, harder ones with the dimples it it. Those bastards hurt!

Good times. good times.

Missouri Star Ahmad Hardy Shot and Wounded at Concert in Mississippi​

The running back was an All-American for the Tigers last season.

Missouri running back Ahmad Hardy was shot and wounded early Sunday morning while attending a concert in his native Mississippi, the Tigers said in a statement.

“Ahmad Hardy was the victim of a shooting at a concert in Mississippi early Sunday morning and sustained a gunshot wound,” Missouri said. “Ahmad underwent surgery Sunday and is in stable condition.”

Per the Tigers, a timetable for a return to play—or any football activities—is unknown. ESPN’s Pete Thamel did report that “there’s optimism” that Hardy will eventually return to play.

“Ahmad is deeply loved by his teammates, coaches, friends, family and fans,” the school said. “We will continue to stand beside him and his family through this difficult time, offering our love, prayers, strength and support.”

He originally signed with Louisiana-Monroe, running for 1,351 yards and 14 touchdowns to lead the Sun Belt in 2024. After that season, he transferred to play for Missouri, where he quickly established himself as one of the SEC’s best running backs.

Believe it's been said that one has to get on the court to impress. And the decision is to sit on the pine at a great school, or play more minutes at a lesser school. It's a decision I never had to make ;(....academic rigor at Kent St poses less of a hurdle, and on court competition probably less as well. But is it better to be a big frog in a small pond, or a small frog in the big pond? I'll let you decide, grasshopper.....

This kid was never an Ohio State caliber kid IMO. I coach HS basketball we played them. He was not impressive at all. Was surprised that he even held an offer, let alone be committed at the time. I get wanting to keep kids home, but some of the In-state talent Diebs has gone after is very questionable.

2027 CA QB Brady Edmunds is a Buckeye!!!

calibuck said:
Was hoping that was the case. And it seems fair that if one keeps looking, the other might/should as well. Farther it goes, the higher the NIL might get? And since Edmunds committed way long ago, might have settled on a lower NIL number. Really cannot not speak as to how an early commitment might handle NIL. "If your ranking goes higher, we'll up your money?", or somesuch. But can see UCLA coming in over the top to get him, so will test his commitment even more, especially if tOSU goes with another higher ranked QB as a recruit. Too many variables for my poor mind....

I think OSU is one of the few schools that won't be held up because a recruit wants more money. I think Jeremiah was a 1 of 1 who could've done that, and even then they stopped at a certain amount, and told him take it or leave it essentially. Because its well known that Miami offered more than OSU. Edmunds is in no way at his level, and depending on how he does at the Elite 11, could see a slight drop. The 2027 QB class just isn't very good at the moment, and with the Portal, a team like OSU can find a starter every year they want similar to Miami or IU. So the leverage is no longer with the HS recruits.

How would you rank these five Ohio State teams that had only one loss one through five?

I know every program has their fair share of close calls and near misses, but fuck, don't think anyone beats OSU in that department.

I remember when I was in 5th or 6th grade, I read that OSU had finished #2 more than any program in history. That may have changed, seeing as that was 20+ years ago (that was depressing to write). Talk about bittersweet.

Still wouldn't trade OSUs resume for anyone else's, but you could write a book (and a LONG one at that) on all the coulda/woulda/shouldas. The margin between 2nd best program all time and by far the best, is just that razor thin.

Ohio State Buckeyes Close but no Cigar seasons

Jake Diebler (Head Coach)

calibuck
Methinks that tOSU coach is going to get downplayed all the time, in that tOSU has the financial backing to hire the best, and that includes NIL for players. Day should have COY, but it's 'expected' from the Ohio State coach to have his team in the upper echelon year after year. Ergo, translates to basketball as well. Don't know enough about coaches reps to comment on the list above, but don't believe any but maybe two would be tOSU targets. Diebs, just put together a team that wins, and all that goes away.....
