Super pumped. My daughters soccer team was denied entrance into the CUSA Mead Cup this weekend in Centerville. Too bad for those young ladies. I will definitely enjoy the silver lining of that cloud by watching football all day.

This is a 100% true story. I got so tired of watching my daughter play soccer after 3 years of it. When it was time for her to play in the 6th grade, I asked her, "Do you like soccer?" She said, "Yeah." I asked her what she liked about it, and she said, "Playing with my friends." I then offered her 50 bucks cash on the spot to not play. She immediately said, "Deal" - and that was the end of my misery with that sport. The truth is I got off real cheap. I had $200 on me, and would have gone that high, and if she wanted $1000 I would have gone to the bank. Such was my desperation to avoid the dreaded soccer/OSU game conflict.

I can't watch the best players in the world play soccer, but watching tween girls play it was intolerable. I would rather have hemorrhoid surgery as to ever sit through another one of those games. Some soccer parents told me I was a bad father, but I figured if she REALLY wanted to play the sport, she would have passed on the $50. She never once said she missed it. She's 21 now and seems relatively undamaged by the bad fathering she had.

Re: CBS Sports owns the rights to all home Navy football games. The CBS/Navy contract runs through 2018. This game is a return match from 2009, when Ohio State welcomed in Navy and defeated the Midshipmen 31-27 at Ohio Stadium.
In the past, CBS has moved some Navy games – particularly those against Notre Dame – to the main CBS network signal. But that is not possible for this OSU-Navy game as CBS is booked all day Saturday with U.S. Open tennis coverage.

Fricking tennis. Who would have guessed that Navy could have sold their TV football programming rights to anyone?

Re: WOW! is the nation’s 13th-largest cable provider. In the Midwest there are over 300,000 subscribers with large pockets in Chicago, Columbus, Cleveland and Detroit. Unfortunately, WOW! does not currently offer CBS SN.

Fortunately I switched from WOW to Time Warner a couple years ago and get it.

I totally do not feel that way about my daughter's soccer. I'm pretty sure I look forward to her games a lot more than she does. I think she really just likes practicing with her friends, seeing them during the games and the $5.00 per goal she gets. It's never cose me more than $30.00 in a season but she's never played on a girls' team so I think that will go up once that happens.

I just keep up with OSU's games with my phone and watch 'em when I get home.



Go Bucks!!!

Never had one complaint against WOW - until now!

Although after this game I'm sure I won't have a need to ever search for CBS Sports Network ever again.

Agreed, wow is a great company.

This link causes CBSSN to add you to the list of people it can discuss when negotiating with WOW:

I also called them and the rep said I was the first person to complain about not being able to see the Navy Game.

We are traveling to the game from emerald isle, NC. My husband is a Marine, but an Ohio state graduate. ( we both are) I think we have been asked about 50 times this week if it's a toss up who we are routing for. lol My 5 yr old can tell you we are buckeyes I just let her answer! We are meeting up with about 40 of our college friends who are also in the military and stationed all along the east coast. Should be a good time! And you would be surprised the number of buckeyes in DC. When we were stationed there we would go to the Rhino Bar in Georgetown and meet up with tons of other buckeye fans!

Ugh, I have WOW! so I guess I won't be watching it live then, huh? Will it replay on BTN?

Catch it online as others mentioned on Firstrowsports - if you google it it'll be the first option at a .eu address. Not the same as watching it on the big screen but better than nothing!

I checked BTN and it won't be on their station as a replay, at least not this weekend.
