Great news but if I have to get it through an already established provider then I'm screwed. Wish you could make your own login as Cox in Virginia doesn't carry BTN so the whole reason for the internet stream was for that reason. I'll still try it and see. Thanks for the info. :oh:

Looks like I can pay a 14 buck subscription and stream online so I'm going to try that. Worth it for me so I don't miss a game.

Let me know if that is the case. I've been trying to figure out if the Big Ten Ticket for ~$15/mo will actually cover all of it or not. I don't have cable, but want to watch the games.

Also, does anyone know where there is a succinct schedule of games the BTN is covering?

(Watching the Leaders division preview on BTN right now.)

I love the BTN, but they suck pretty badly at previewing teams.

Nathan Williams as the player that needs to fill Cameron Heyward's shoes? Yeah, that does not compute for anyone even remotely familiar with Ohio State's defense.

Gerry DiNardo is unbelievably inconsistent as he previews each team. He claims Ohio State's talent level is down, but I'd love to hear where he thinks there is a drop off outside of Heyward (other teams can replace players no problem, but for some reason Ohio State can't? give me a break).

I am unimpressed with their knowledge of Ohio State, which makes me think their knowledge of other teams isn't much better and therefore there opinions don't really mean much.

Oh well, it's better than ESPN.

I saw that as well last night as I had missed the initial airing. I was completely dumbfounded by Dinardo's comments. He continues to amaze me at how clueless is.

The talent level has to be down a knotch at QB and in the positions where we have the other suspended starters (for 5 games). The replacement for Dane Sanzenbacher might be a drop off too.

Braxton Miller is arguably as talented as Pryor. All of the RBs are arguably as talented as Boom. I might give you WR, but I think Brown is as explosive as Posey, just not as well rounded at receiver.

Experience down? Yes. Talent down? Hardly.

That also doesn't address the double standard applied when discussing teams. I understand that the 7 time defending champ is held to a higher standard, but the Buckeyes meet that standard.
