OU-BG on ESPN?

If OU continues to make a name for itself, what do we think the chances might be of ESPN picking up that game, even on Gameplan? I'm desperate for TV coverage way out west here...

Like your thoughts, just alter the focus of your prayers to a different channel. When OU came to Perry Stadium a few years ago for the 70-6 drubbing or whatever it was I was still out in Iowa. The game was on my digital cable because the Ohio News Network covered it.

I payed $5.95 to get the game, but since the lady on the other end of the phone couldn't find the exact digital channel to unlock for me, she just unlocked the entire NCAA Gameplan. . . and forgot to relock it. So for 3/4 of that season my roomate enjoyed watching whatever games we wanted to!!

Th eOU VT game will tell us alot the OU team. I expect the OU d to keep them in it till half time, and if that is the case, they will have real solid MAC D team...and if there O can get some points, or a turn over conversion, they will be juiced for MAC play even with a L

Personally, I think this is more likely to happen than not given the nation's interest in Frank Solich. They may get what ammounts to "pity" coverage this year nationally because of it.

Couple that interest with Omar, and this game seems to be an ESPN lock to me.

no way their defense keeps them in it. They aren't going up against Pitt here.

and if there O can get some points, or a turn over conversion, they will be juiced for MAC play even with a L

no way their offense can get points. they aren't going up against Pitt here.

seriously, with as bad as their O was against Pitt, no way will they do anything against a good defense. I know their defense looked good against Pitt, but no way they do anything like that against a good offense. I mean, beating Pitt doesn't mean the same thing it did two years ago. I think Solich will bring this team around and have them competeing for a MAC title shortly, as early as next year possibly, but not this year.
