Yeah and that is why OSU is on ABC'S second rated channel and not the big one like ND is.
:confused: I'm not sure what you're getting at. OSU and ND have the same amount of "Prime Time" games on ABC this year and OSU has potential to have more games on ABC (including the Michigan game which will undoubtedly be on ABC and is listed as TBA on this list):

Now, if you are talking about more games on network TV, ND will beat anyone in the country with their NBC deal. But strictly talking about ABC, you have your facts wrong. But after typing all this I just remembered that research and facts are foreign concepts for most ND fans. :tongue2:

Holy shit you're dense! The "Big One" that ND is on is America's least watched channel. There's the pinnacle of broadcast integrity right there -- an hour-long show featuring Howie Mandel instructing people to open briefcases at random is the best show the network has to offer. :roll2:
