WVU game officially at 6:00 pm on FOX

[EllToPay]

I'm really surprised this game isn't on ABC or ESPN. Kinda weird that we haven't had one game on an ESPN network yet.

jfc, we're on a rough ridin' network in prime time for the second of three times this year. what more do you losers want?

I prefer Fox. Everything about it, from Gus Johnson to the football robot dude, is just awesome.

If you are bitching about this, go to hell.

Want more than what? A prime time nationally televised game on network tv with Gus Johnson doing the play by play is as good as it gets.

Notre Dame/Michigan and Clemson/Notre Dame are both huge games. I think a lot of people just assumed OU would blow us out and decided to watch the games on other networks.

Also the fact that Notre Dame was the first school to ever play 2 games at the same time also probably drew in some viewers.

The Big 12 is going to look really bad if WVU stumbles in Lubbock.

TTU helped screw up our Undefeated streak last year, when they beat OU so why not now.

West Virginia is coming off one of their biggest road wins in history.  They are looking at a nationally televised game with two top 5 teams in Morgantown next week.  Their QB is the runaway leader for the Heisman.

But this week they have to travel to the armpit of west Texas and face a team that didn't even make a bowl game last year.

The Vegas line is only WVU -4.5. 

If Tech wins, it's not much of an upset.

WVU has been playing in the Big East.  They are not used to playing a "bad" team that is as good as Tech, and they have to go on the road to do it, right after beating Texas, and right before playing a top 5 K-State.  I could see that upset happening.  I would rather they win big, and they probably will, but I could see it happening.

I'm sure Gameday will find some way to pimp the Big Ten or SEC, as per usual.

FOX is getting some great games, anyone have any idea what the ratings have been compared to ABC and ESPN night primetime games?

Ratings were pretty bad for the OU/KSU game and previous big Fox games compared to the big boys. Not sure how last weekend went yet.

Time    Net    Show    18-49 Rating/Sh    Viewers (millions)
8:00    ABC    College Football: Nebraska at Ohio State (8-11PM) -Live    1.4/5    4.95
   FOX    College Football West Virginia at Texas (8-10PM) - Live    1.3/4    4.07

If both KSU & WVU come in next week undefeated then the ratings will be good. But I agree that some college football fans might forget that there have been prime-time games on FOX.

[GoodForAnother]

will probably take people some time to figure out that fox is showing night games.  if the conference stays good and fox continues to get these great matchups in primetime, it will become a "go-to" channel for cfb fans who channel surf to check.

[TheHamburglar]

so is this 6pm kickoff or 6pm pre-game like KSU/OU?

6pm kickoff, so 6:05 kickoff

Yeah, I forgot to check Fox Saturday afternoon for games. They had a great Stanford-UA game before UT WVU.

And beating ND-Miami is a really nice start.

LOL, good point.

Yeah, I meant to quote ell, not you. My bad. I want gameday and primetime ESPN.

[chum1]

Gameday is awful.

[EMAWmeister]

I don't want gameday on the road.
