I don't understand why they can't get all the conference games telvised. If you can put games on FCS Central, can't you put another one on FCS Atlantic or FCS Pacific? It might might hurt viewership of one of the games, but overall there would be more viewers than if FCS-A and FCS-P were showing replay shows or D3 games during that time slot.

Sounds like East Endzone is going to get announced in the next couple weeks. Will cost additional 11-16 million.

South Endzone expansion... Depends on more season tickets and more donations, or big donation.

Thinks Big 12 will have own television network sometime in near future.

All luxury boxes sold, some club seats left. Now has waiting list to get luxury box

I say add however many lux boxes to the east side as he has a waiting list - they pay for themselves.

FCS-P shows a boatload of Pac-10 games already.
FCS-A covers all the 1-AA teams in the northeast.

It would have to be just FCS-C, and the downfall to that is its lack of satellite availability.

Is this show going to be weekly? I'll have to check it out next week.

Was anyone able to catch it online?

FCS-P isn't showing Pac 10 games at 11:30 am CST though. As for the 1-AA games on FCS-A, they could take a back seat to a Big 12 game.

Not thinking BJ was with WHO CARES radio...HE LEFT KASI RADIO IN AMES TO WORK IN THE FAMILY JACUZZI/HOT TUB BUSINESS 2 yrs ago. But he had done sports spots for WHO CARES radio back then, cause both stations are same owner..

But why would they? You'd take a local game from them and replace it with a game from a different time zone? If you were a UNI fan, would you be upset if they took a Panther game off the air and replaced it with Syracuse/Rutgers?

There will be at least two more FCS-C exclusive games this season, plus a load of simulcasts (courtesy FSN).

No one has only one of these channels. If you get FCS-A, you also get the other two. I don't see why you can't on occasion put a Big 12 game on there at 11:30 that would get more viewers. You can still have a 1-AA game on there in the 2:30 time slot when the Big 12 game is on ABC.

Has anyone gone to the 1700 website and clicked on the message board? I was checking out their website as I tried to get the ISU show streaming (which of course didn't work but you can get the hawkeye show as a podcast) and I discovered that apparently they moved over the old "790 the score" message board over to their new site. I didn't realize they were the same people that tried a station before. I wonder how long they will last this time.

I don't know what 790 had, but this station seems to do OK especially since they have very little local programming. I listen to Cowherd every day and Tirico/Van Pelt isn't too bad of a show. I usually switch between that and Rome. It would be nice if they had a Cyclone show two nights a week and a hok show the same. Then give UNI a show on Friday.

Didn't get to hear the show, but BJ always does a great job. Good to hear that the east side work is going to get done this offseason. I sure hope that donation comes through so we can get the endzone done by 2010.
