DirecTV, channel 220:

What about Coach English, star recruiter?

By that logic, tickets should be free, too, and unless you are 12 years old saying this is the first time EVER that you've not been able to see a game on TV is bunk. There have been days in the past when ESPN didn't air the game, even on the ESPN+ spillover channels, that your only options...

Mili - I wasn't commenting on the start time so much as maybe missing something while waiting to get in and get seated, especially if the restaurants are busy. Has anyone seen this pricing grid for commercial DirecTV...

Milkman -- you are in the lousy position of having to go to an "establishment" to see the game. Lousy because it is an 11:00 (cdt) start and most of "those places" (i.e. BW3) don't open until 11:00 ... unless they crack the doors open a little early for situations like this.

NFL Network on a 1-week delay .... those games will be broadcast on 9/8

For as much traffic as this thread is getting imagine the mess when the masses catch up with the story ... From today's Dispatch:

Dave Revsine was on local ESPN radio last night: * BTN has a 20 year contract so eventually the cable networks will pick it up. * OSU is very good, B10 is a 3 team race. * PSU disappointed them when they visited practice Again ... BTN has a 20 year deal so it will be added to systems...

The president of Comcast Midwest was on the headline news channel this morning for a "local newsmakers" segment .... He said that "even with 2 teams in IL, 90% of our customers are opposed to adding the network" and babbled about how the Big Ten was trying to "cash in" on customers that don't...

The DISH representative is trying to tell me that Fox Sports New England (channel 435) is broadcasting the Big 10 football games .... why doesn't this make any sense?

BW3 The local BW3 establishments that I called (2) both said that they WILL have the BTN but don't know when because they are waiting for DTV to let them know which "business" package it will be a part of ... the manager said "Don't worry - our owners are huge Big 10 supporters, so we'll get it...

Installation To add more info to the post above: I don't need to wait for HD installation so they could install DirecTV before August 30. (Chicago Suburbs)

39 games? If the BTN is going to offer a total of 39 games this season and has already announced the 17 for weeks 1-3 (same link as above) - that leaves only the conference games -- will they (BTN) lock up 4 OSU and Michigan games just to prove a point? Any predictions which conference...
