I've never understood the Fox hate. I hear a lot of Fox hate in regards to NFL, MLB, and soccer (FSC). Is it just cause Fox News is crazy and Rupert Murdoch is creepy? Personally, I like their sports coverage, and their sports radio is great.

Can't you let the other networks get a piece of the Cats?

Oct 27 #Big12 FB gametime: Texas Tech at K-State (2:30 p.m. CT / FOX)

If you don't like playing on fox you can kindly gtfoomff

There are plenty of reasons to not like playing on Fox.  For one, it guarantees ESPN will have minimal coverage/hype of that particular game.  Now, I don't particularly care about what ESPN has to say, but they undeniably influence the voters.  Less KSU coverage on ESPN = less Cats exposure and hype passed along to the polls.

This isn't true.  We are still #3/4 in the polls and ahead of ND in both despite ND getting 10x more exposure on ESPN.  Also, Florida/SEC get 20x more play on ESPN than the Cats, but according to the BCS we are ahead of Florida when you combine the two polls.

ND has all their home games on NBC

I would guess it will be exactly like their normal 6/7 pm weekly game, except it will be moved earlier due to the WS.  :dunno:

Fox just has a different style.  For pro sports, Fox is defiantly on the bottom of the list.  That Joe Buck/Tim McCarver combo they throw out for the world series is just dreadful.  Also, if it's a Sunday afternoon and I want to take a nap, I just flip on Joe Buck/Troy Aikman and I'm snoozing in 2 minutes.  Finally, their CFB studio with Erin Andrews and Joey Harrington is aweful television. 

I have no problem when the game actually starts and no problem with the Cats being on FOX, I just flip it over right before the game and flip away right when it ends.

Could not disagree more. CBS is unbearable to me because of how serious they take themselves. FOX has more fun with it imo

Love the live shot of the stadium for the in-studio background, and love the halftime montages fox puts together.

I don't think anyone has ever associated Tim McCarver or Joe Buck with fun.

I realize ESPN isn't the only sports network out there.  However, they are by far the largest and most influential sports network.  If the last three undefeated teams left are Alabama, Oregon and KSU, who do you think ESPN will pimp for the title game?  Alabama is a shoe in and ESPN will do their best to hype up Oregon for that game because they broadcast a lot more Oregon games than Cat games.  ESPN gargling on SEC dick last season helped to get Alabama in the title game over Oklahoma State, I have no doubt that they would hype up non-Big 12 teams again.

Agreed.  Also, I enjoy Cleatus (the football robot).  I am just astounded that Fox has stuck with him for this long.  Its really remarkable.

ESPN can pick up the Cats any time they want, as Fox is just purchasing content from them.

I will say this and take it fwiw, but FX is the worst. Saturday I was able to put a load of laundry in, put up the dishes, and do the dishes before they came back from a commercial break. It was all  I could do to settle the  :ohno: but I didn't know I could get all that done in between breaks. I might try to sex up a filly next time with that kind of break.

That's a nice theory you have, but the RRR on ABC started at the same time as our game and lasted 30min - 1 hour longer. I'm betting more commercials were aired during that game than the FX broadcast.
