TV slot for next week

[Boxerdaddy]

Yeah I know I shouldn't complain about national television. But selfishly I hate the 11:00 games for attendance and tailgating reasons. Oh well- if there really have been 58,000 tickets sold already next weekend will be amazing regardless.

Where did you hear this? If so....friggin awesome.

Yep, we will. Who is that guy that predicts the Big 12 TV schedule ahead of time?

Here's the listings for 10/20 across the conference:

Iowa State @ Oklahoma State
Kansas State @ West Virginia
Kansas @ Oklahoma
Baylor @ Texas
Texas Tech @ TCU

Pretty easy to assume that KSU @ WVU will get the marquee FOX slot. I would guess Baylor-Texas would get the next best slot and ours would come in 3rd.

My guess would be...

K-State/WV- Fox 6PM
Baylor/Texas- ABC 2:30
ISU/Ok State- FX 11AM
Tech/TCU- FSN 2:30
KU/OU- FSN 6PM

ISU/Ok State- FX 11AM

KU/OU- FSN 6PM

I'd hate to see KState beat us, but if they did, you'd think Game Day would be at the WV/KSU game. Of course, I am hoping after we take care of KState maybe they head to Stillwater for our game instead.

Living on the west coast now especially, 11am CST is terrible. I'll have to leave my apartment by 7:30 to make it to the Seattle gamewatch for a 9am kickoff. Oh well, by the time Friday rolls around I'll be so jacked I won't care anymore.

Well, but you get all the PAC 12 games in your normal evening hours. Those don't end for us until after midnight. See? It all evens out.

No chance at Gameday in Stillwater. Florida vs South Carolina would take it (even if both would have 1 loss). I'd have to imagine Michigan vs Michigan State would probably come before OSU/ISU. LSU/A&M probably would as well.

That's good because I don't want to have to see Corso put on that Pistol Pete head.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if we set a new attendance record for K-State, even with the 11:00 a.m. start. We have a record enrollment and it is parents' weekend. My sister started looking for hotels months ago and had a hard time getting anything. Now we are ranked on several polls. K-State is highly ranked and it is not that far of a trip for their fans.

One thing that concerns me is that we don't seem to have enough seating for the student section. A lot of them have been spilling out onto hillside. My son recognized several kids from his high school that he knows go to DMAAC that were sitting in the front row of the student section. They just buy hillside and then go to the student section, while actual students can't get seats.

I hope we can get out to a good start and get the crowd into it. At least 56,000 would not surprise me.

If they are in the front row, that means that they waited in line for three hours (or more) before kickoff. There were people in line at noon for the 6:00pm kick vs. Texas Tech.

It's a change in culture. You used to be able to walk in at kickoff and find a seat in the student section lower bowl. Now, the lower section is almost totally full when the stadium opens 90 minutes before kickoff. Students have to start caring more about the game than the tailgating to get a seat. (Doesn't mean that they can't do both, though!)

Another reason to do the SEZ with upper deck. Not only do we have a more interested student body nowadays, we have a larger student body, so we could use a couple thousand more seats for them.

They need to figure something out with the students. Last game we got to our seats 5 min before kick off to find some kids sitting there, we asked them to move and in typical drunk fashion 2 of them tried to start a fight with us in front my friends 2 year old.

Love to see the success and crowd's but I would like to be able to take the kids to a safe envirnoment too.

Or just squeezed in after someone else got there early. Plus one of then was wearing his Squawk hat. And they kept putting him on the big screen.

Just announced 8am kickoff on Mediacom Connections Channel.

Should be getting the kickoff info for OSU anytime now, i think usually it comes during the 10am hour.
