WOI chooses Iowa-Illinois over ISU-Okie St

**ISU_Alum_2000** · 10-20-2008, 05:58 PM

If the following happens...

OK State beats Texas
Ohio State beats Penn State
Alabama loses or stumbles against Tennessee (affecting the polls)

...it is possible that OK State could be #1 next week. They would be the highest ranked still-undefeated team (along with Texas Tech, who plays Kansas).

CURRENT BCS STANDINGS
-----------------------------
1. Texas 7-0
2. Alabama 7-0
3. Penn State 8-0
4. Oklahoma 6-1
5. USC 5-1
6. Oklahoma State 7-0
7. Georgia 6-1
8. Texas Tech 7-0

This is what makes me mad the most. Iowa fans think its about being a Hawkeye State. By the way anyone who calls in to talk radio and says this phrase "This is a Hawkeye State and it will always be a Hawkeye state" is a DB. This is about getting the better game on. Illinois is a rivarly and they are both decent record teams. ISU sucks and they are playing a south team. Just find a way to get it on and I am happy.

If ISU was 6-1 then this is different

EDIT: No offense Jon.

Iowa will probably be rolled by Illinois.

I highly doubt that. They won't get rolled by many teams, if any, because their defense is that good.

Plus they have 2 weeks to prepare...

The ISU-OSU game will be shown locally in the DSM market somehow. They will either split the broadcast between their analog and digital feeds or one of the ESPN channels will run the ISU/OSU game.

Illinois has a QB unlike the last 2 teams Iowa has played. (Indiana QB didnt play half the game).

Game will probably be a shootout on the scoreboard.

This situation is precisely what HD OTA (over-the-air) is suited to handle. ESPN/ABC is 720p. It is theoretically (and techncially) quite possible for WOI to simultaneously broadcast two 720p channels OTA.

WOI has the opportunity here to be one of the first TV stations in the US to actually exploit the benefits of HD technology for useful purposes...

This is going to be the biggest load of crap ever if an Iowa State road game is actually on tv, but unwatchable in central Iowa.

**snowcraig2.0** · 10-20-2008, 06:25 PM

it should be on espn 360

It is likely the game will be seen on ESPN or ESPN-2. The same deal as the UNC-ND game when the OSU-Prudue game was on KCAU/WOI.

**Clone96** · 10-20-2008, 06:35 PM

They announced it tonight:

Iowa- Illinois will be on 5.1

ISU-OSU will be on 5.2 (yes, they do have 5.2, right now it's just repeating the OTA feed) and it MAY be on Mediacom

I'm not worried here in Central IA. The ISU game WILL be on in someway, but if I lived the eastern part of the state, I'd start calling and emailing KCRG and ask them what are their plans, because they will "conveniently" forget all about the ISU game!!!!

Like Shootout at the OK Corral with the Earps and Clancys?
