When you are no longer the hunted, you get 1100 games. I dont think we had any 1100 games last year,

B12 championship IIRC

 

[CYdTracked]

Not a fan of 11am games and says a lot about how we are viewed now by TV after getting several 11am times recently. If we were playing for something right now would likely be selected for 2:30 or night games. Especially this time of the year 2:30 is usually during the peak high temp for the day too which is more ideal as well.

You are probably correct. That is a game I want to forget.

Yeah, but not in the way you're arguing. No one gives a **** about watching Oklahoma State right now. They've been on ESPN+ for the last few weeks.

They play us and all of a sudden it's a linear game in a visible spot. We've been a solid TV draw all year and we're playing a couple games that have no bearing on the Big 12 race in very visible time slots.

That is a rough-looking set of games to sell.

Now that we no longer have Oklahoma to assign to the 11:00 slot, somebody has to do it.

Agree that the OSU game is not a good but looking at this schedule before the season did you ever think that our home games against ASU and KU would be 11am kicks? Granted those 2 teams have not exactly lived up to expectations either like us but those sure looked like 2:30 or night games before we went on a losing skid.

 

[Cyched]

The recent losses played a factor, but we’ve always been good for at least a couple 11 am games a year. We got spoiled last year.

 

[cytor]

I want the schedule makers to give us 2 home October games. The last 2 years we only got one. That sucks.

honestly given the fact that Oklahoma State will most likely be 1-10 heading into this game, the fact that this game is even on linear tv is a miracle.

And we have done ourselves no favors. Losing four straight games and thus eliminating us from any Big 12 title game/CFP talk has removed us from the spotlight.

That said, we have just gone an entire season without being on ESPN+ once and that's a win in my book.

The narrative on 11AM games is no longer true. Fox and ABC are using that window for some big games. It's all about the channel.

 

[TiedieCy2022]

Call me crazy but I’d prefer more early games than a night game every week like last years was. Finishing the year at 11a isn’t terrible.

 

[Agclone91]

I personally don't mind 11 oclock games. A night game or two is fun but it got exhausting last year when seemingly every game was at night. Especially from Mid-October through the end of the season. Give me night games early and day games late.

 

[Al_4_State]

I guarantee we have a better crowd than last year's Cincy game with this being 11AM.

I like 1100 games. I am usually in bed on Friday nights at 2100 and up on Saturday mornings a 0500. 1100 games gives me more time at night to watch more games. Yes, I am an old SOB.
