This is a joke
I'll choose to take it as a compliment - they expect our game to be the least competitive of the five.  The rest of those should be pretty interesting games.

kono

I'm not sure that's how it works at all, particularly with West Virginia coming off of a win.

I prefer to view this as a sign of respect. Networks assume we're winning again in a one-sided rout that won't keep eyes on the game, so they gave better slots to such dogs and OU vs OSU and ISU vs Tech (woof).

it's a self fulfilling prophecy because nobody will watch our game on ESPN+, which sucks. but i'm curious if our game would actually do worse than Tech vs ISU in that time slot on FS1. our game at least has a ranked team involved.

You guys act surprised that OU and OSU are bigger brands than us.

It would not.

I don't think anyone was under any illusion that bedlam was going to be on +, that game this year as the Saturday night ABC national game is shocking, check the mentions of the tweet, even OU and OSU.

Baylor TCU on Big Noon Saturday isn't a shock because they've made the choice to put real shitty games in that slot, all season. Seven of the ten games they've have been blowouts. They've only had 2 games with a ranked team against another ranked team.

Bedlam is kind of interesting this year because I'm not sure which team is worse. Whoever loses is still better than ISU, but is the clear 2nd worst team in the conference.

OSU probably has a chance with Sanders.

Admittedly there is a bit of drama going in to Bedlam as to whether OU can secure a bowl bid. I doubt I’ll watch but I’ll be checking the score.

Do we get more money if they make a bowl?  Trying to weigh that against the schadenfreude of missing out on a bowl game.

I think smaller bowl money, and then some, get spent by the attending teams.
I once blew clove smoke in a guy's face that cut in front of me in the line to KJ's.

Impossible, the game is indoors, our kicker is nails on everything inside of 75 yards.

I saw a blurb on ESPN saying the matchup was extremely close on paper, but threw out that TCU had the more reliable placekicker. :lol:

Steele notes that his poll is based on where he thinks teams will finish following the 2023 season. His rankings have quite a few differences than our 247Sports summer top 25., including no sign of Kansas State, South Carolina, Ole Miss and others.

Thanks for the reminder that I need to make my annual trip to Barnes & Noble to spend $20 on Phil's magazine.

Some bad habits - like buying preseason college football magazines - die hard.

I will be very sad if we don't beat Texas over the head with their own dicks
