I haven't seen this covered anywhere else, (sorry if I missed it). Does anyone know is the game will be broadcast Live by ONN or Channel 10? I can't go and don't want to wait until 11:00 that night to watch.....

I thought I read somewhere that the Big Ten Network has exclusive rights to the game and since there where going to be 8 or 9 other Big Ten Spring Game / Practices on the same day, they decided not to brodcast any of them live...but no other Network was going to be allowed to do so either. (I think that's what I read :() 11 p.m. delay-play, then Sunday replay on the BTN.

Big Ten Network's Spring Football Showcase on April 19 will include Ohio State's game

Ohio State's spring football game at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 19 will be part of a 3 1/2-hour Spring Football Showcase on the Big Ten Network.

The show will feature BTN's Dave Revsine, Gerry DiNardo and Howard Griffith hosting from Chicago and doing live look-ins from that afternoon's eight spring games in the Big Ten: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue and Wisconsin.
Also, Big Ten Network will have a live web stream of each team's game.
Michigan, Minnesota and Northwestern will conduct their spring games on different dates, and the Big Ten Network also will be on-hand to cover those events. Due to stadium renovations, Michigan's spring game will be held on Saturday, April 12, at Saline High School, near Ann Arbor. Highlights and interviews from the game will appear on that evening's Big Ten Tonight as well as on BigTenNetwork.com.
Minnesota's game is at 8 p.m. EDT on Friday, April 25. Northwestern is at 1 p.m. EDT on Saturday, April 26.
The entire Ohio State spring game will also be shown on BTN on a delay basis. The game broadcast will air at 11 p.m. that Saturday and again at 6 p.m. Sunday, April 20.

You do have this option available. The Big Ten Network still sucks though.

I am not a technical guru, but I think if I set up my hand held video camera on a tripod, focus it on my monitor and log on to BTN.COM I should be able to make a copy of the game. Anyone who wants a copy let me know.

There's got to be a program out there that will record what's displayed on your screen. That would be much higher quality and you wouldn't have to worry about the refresh rate messing with it.

Everyone just shut the fuck up about the BTN already. A few years back the only way to see it was to get ESPNU and everyone whined about that. Now, while you may not get to see it live you have two chances to see it, and it'll be in HD. Everyone knew this was going to happen (BTN having dibs on spring games) when the BTN came out last year. You want someone to be pissed at? Be pissed at the eight athletic directors who decided to have all the spring games on the same fucking day at almost the same fucking time. Or Time Warner for not carrying the BTN.

I'll make you a copy of the game after I record it on my HD DVR (I can make superb standard-resolution copies on my DVD record from my HD DVR).

So you want the 11 Big Ten athletic directors to spread the spring games from March 15 through May 24? I think that would create some problems with the scheduling of practices.

Sorry for forgetting the sarcasm font. I can't imagine anyone actually doing what I suggested - even me.

Actually the locals have been getting the game free for years on Columbus CBS affiliate.
