Yeah the tweet and article was pretty poorly worded.
But yeah Texas' likely excuse is they don't want to be on a "short" week, or whatever. Which is probably how/why they got to have a say in this, I would imagine something like that would have had to be agreed on when they scheduled the home & home years ago.

I have misplaced my pants.
This is...interesting. Not sure why the hell Texas would have any say here?
If the game does get moved, the FOX lackey's in here are gonna be in shambles
Agreed. There are some here who want it moved to a later time, and others who say that the complaints aren't going to be heard by anyone who cares. I don't know of any "lackeys".
I also don't know of anyone who would be in "shambles" if it gets moved.
Also also, I'm not sure why Texas would have any say. Also also also, I don't know why Ohio State would have any say.
Whatever...

OSU should leave the Big Ten, start its own conference and start its own TV network. Did I do that right?

Too soon old, too late smart
Cannot argue with Texas. Am certain most of America scouted tOSU v Tennessee playoff game. What raucous stadium. Still gives me chills just thinking about all the hoopla there. And then the score.....No wonder Texas wants zero part in that. But on the other foot, seems like they're gonna have same kind of set-up when the Buckeyes visit Austin the next year...

While I agree with those who would say that later starts are better for tailgaters and on-campus recruiting (due to Friday night HS football), as someone who lives in Colorado and is enough of an in-game psychopath to prefer to watch the games by myself at home rather than having to self-censor or embarrass myself in public, I love the noon (10:00 AM here) games. I get up, exercise (if I'm reasonably motivated), tune in, and have the rest of my day free by 2:00 or so. As far as competitive advantage or disadvantage goes, without looking it up, I don't know that OSU has an especially great record in home night games against decent opponents.

Logistics aside, I just love a night game against a big opponent, whether in the Shoe or not. Or afternoon when it is getting dark in the 2nd half. Part of that is I am not a morning person at all and I like to watch the other games before ours comes on, or do something else with friends until it gets closer to starting. But biggest thing is the game just looks cooler under the lights an the crowd is typically louder.

Maybe people will quit bitching for 5 minutes about it....probably not but people who literally don't care will enjoy the respite...

It's not even hot outside yet and this one feels like a mid August level off season drain swirl.
