Haha it’s an odd phenomenon and it goes back to as long as I can remember.

My theory is kids usually buckle down in the horseshoe vs the buckeyes. No one is really watching Marshall but every scout will watch OSU. So when they play OSU they know this is their game film for the NFL.

There's also the officials. Every year it seems teams far out-perform as far as penalties go when playing us. Everyone has their least penalized game of the year against tOSU.

There are a ton of programs out there but I use 4K Live Tv with Proton VPN. I just paid $30 for each for 3 months, $60.00. Unlimited channels, movies and sports. I watch 3 huge tvs side by side in my living room with CFB on from 9am AZ time til midnight every Saturday, whichever game I want to see.

Add in whatever you pay for you highest level ISP and I'm sure it's still less than what cable charges for a fraction of that.

Dumb question,,,, I can install the 4K Live TV app on my Samsung smart TVs if I want to subscribe and I actually run Proton VPN on my computers. How are you using Proton on your TVs?

In a just world, if the game was only available on a pay-to-view basis and you paid to watch the game, then the game would run without commercials. I'd be in favor of that, but this is double dipping - you have to pay for the service and then commercial times are sold for during the game; that's just shit.

Magazines and newspapers have run on that model for over 200 years

Sell subscriptions AND ads

Bringing it to tv is far more intrusive, as the ads take time, not just space on a page that can be ignored.

The biggest problem is that the tv/streaming providers know that for a significant number of Ohio State fans, the elasticity of demand is very low. They can mix a lot of crap into the product and we’ll still consume it. But the other side of that coin is the reason that we can see every Ohio State game on TV, and have done for over 40 years. The same thing that gives us all the commercials is the thing that gives us > 12 hours of football, 4 games at a time in multiview, every Saturday
