Nebraska/Oregon to Be on Fox - Other Kickoff Times Announced

[Mavric]

No kick time announced yet.

Fox also has USC Stanford the same day so I would expect that to be the prime time game.

Nebraska at Oregon, 1:30 PT (3:30 Central)

Well poopies.

I guess at least this may calm their crowd down a tad?

Ugh... the Iowa game is no longer national ABC.

Bleh.....

 

[Saunders]

Fox got Chris Spielman and Robert Smith, so maybe their announcer crews aren't terrible anymore.

Word is primetime kick times won't be announced until 12 days before kickoff

Word is primetime kick times won't be announced until 12 days before kickoff

NU not on any of the ESPN early announced prime time kickoffs.

 

[Saunders]

Yeah, I don't get how they're doing the scheduling now. Waiting until 12 days before kickoff for all the primetime games would suck.

Yeah, it was something like the first four weeks would be announced now but none of the rest until 12 days out.

Oregon was our only shot early.

Maybe the networks want to ensure they have quality games in those prime time matchups. I'm sure ESPN wasn't a fan of the 66-3 Ohio State whooping of Nebraska.

Yep. Sounds like that's the reasoning.

Well yeah that game sucked, but it was two top ten ranked teams (at the time).

Either way, I don't think it's a huge deal for ESPN & FOX to wait to announce the October and November prime time games.
