Maybe someone should start a poll, I'm wondering how many of you are like me... I have TWC and have kept it solely because I have season tickets.. Once basketball season rolls around, if this isnt fixed, I'm gone.

The feeling I get from talking to and posting with different fans is that WAS the prevailing attitude. I say WAS because it became pretty obvious a couple of weeks ago that TW wasn't going to be signed up by basketball season. The BTN came out and said as much about TW. TW has tried to give people the impression they were working on a deal, which is not the case. So the reasoning was that if you are going to switch to the BTN, you might as well do it now. This way you get another football game(either Ill or Wisky)and all of the basketball season. The first ex game with Ashland is on Oct 31st, so it's about to start. This young OSU hoops team will be fun to watch. You need to give youself some time set up an appointment, it might get real busy next week.

No kidding, I had the pointless Miami/FSU game while the #1 OSU is playing an important conference game. It took me forever to find a way just to follow the game since ESPN online stopped updating the game after the first drive.

Where are you located? Even though the Miami/FSU game was on ABC, they actually had the tOSU/MSU game on ESPN2

The Buckeyes will be on BTN this Saturday vs. Wisky at 12:00 EDT. For the following week, the game vs. the Illini will kickoff at 3:30 EDT and will be on ABC.

I think the B10 network is great. The only people who wouldnt like it are those that are in the viewing radius and have time warner. It was an easy switch for me to Directv and I havent had to watch 1 game on gameplan this year. It actually gets the games to more people for free as those out of region get them for free instead of having to get gameplan.

Recall that BTN's TV contract gave them a the 2nd pick of Big Ten games only one time this year, but also required that they get each Big Ten team at least once in a conference game.

So how in the heck do they end up with what is clearly the best Big Ten game this coming Saturday? Can ESPN possibly have chosen the Michigan-MSU game first? Or the Purdue-PSU game?

Or did the BTN play their cards right and end up with a royal flush?
