I hope the Wake in Columbus is an Irish Wake . Ohio State fans in mourning after FOX likely dooms biggest games to noon kickoffs SATURDAYBLITZ.COM Ohio State fans have seen this story before—and they’re not any happier about it the second (or third) time around. Once again, the Buckeyes are heading into a Buddy, Big Noon may bring in a large number of viewers, but the number pales against ESPN/ABC prime time games.

A sold out and raucous crowd at Mathew Knight Arena was treated to another Sabrina Ionescu shooting clinic last night as the New York Liberty played an exhibition game against a good scrappy team from Japan. After hitting six three pointers many coming from typical Sabrina range, Ionescu and the Defending WNBA champions won against the Toyota Antelopes 84-61. Nyara Sabally also got in on the act with seven points and six rebounds. https://www.registerguard.com/story/sports/women/2025/05/12/new-york-liberty-toyota-antelopes-eugene-live-updates/83563084007/

Spot On. There is NO WAY ESPN/ABC would have carried this game other than 3:30 or 7:30 PM Eastern. Playing this game at 9 AM Pacific means at least 2 to 3 million fewer viewers. Fox learned nothing from last season's numbers, when it was punched in the face by Disney/ABC/ESPN. I certainly understand and respect personal preferences regarding game times. For Moi, a KO at Noon means I can watch the entire game without having to take a nap. However, CFB is a big business, and the conference needs partners to help make it as B1G as possible. Greg Sankey never fails to leverage the SEC product. In fiscal 2025, the SEC will close in on the $88 million less in revenue than the B1G received in fiscal 2024, by having ESPN pay as much as $80 million for the conference to play a ninth regular-season game. Brutal schedules for the SEC's top teams in 2024 (sans Texas) cost the conference a playoff spot, but will generate far more dollars than having one more PO team. Greg played the long game and scored. I like B1G commish Tony Petitti, but his coming from a broadcast/media background did not help with game times. Ohio State was not happy about its seven Big Noon games in 2024. The most anticipated out-of-conference game in years, kicking off at Noon in Columbus, is not making Buckeyes coaches and fans happy. Last season, Penn State wanted the advantage of a White Out game when Ohio State visited. Didn't happen. The White Out game came against UW. Even though a Big Noon KO means the Ducks will be playing ball at 9 AM body clock time, I'm certain PSU would prefer a 7:30 PM local KO and a White Out. HORNS DOWN! I see 0-2 against the Dawgs in 2024 being at least 0-3 and perhaps 0-4 before the end of this season. James Franklin gets big game record roasted, but how many championship and playoff games has Sark won on the road and neutral sites? One? When Texas escaped with the W over double-digit dog ASU in double OT in the 2025 Peach Bowl. (Because the refs swallowed a targeting whistle. ) And 12-seed Clemson gave Texas all it could handle last season in Austin. Go Ducks! Go Dawgs! (Except when it comes to xxxxxxx recruiting )

Five-Star Tight End Recruit Kendre Harrison Reaffirms Commitment To Oregon Ducks The Oregon Ducks received some big news on the recruiting front over this past weekend when their crown jewel of the 2026 recruiting class, five-star tight end Kendre Harrison, shutdown his recruitment after visiting with the program.

It could hurt their shot at the College World Series? RIGHT.

Also heard they have a new class on how to deflate footballs properly without getting caught. The only class Brady needs to get his masters in deflating gates.

Words can't describe what those Huskies have done. Maybe we should petition the Big Ten to kick them out of the conference. They can join two other thiefs, Bevis and the Cougars.

This--exactly!!!

These two ducks have the physical tools necessary to create havoc for Oregon. Oregon Ducks Defensive Line Prediction: Bear Alexander, A'Mauri Washington WWW.SI.COM The Oregon Ducks defensive line in 2024 was full of physicality and tenacity. With former Oregon Ducks defensive linemen Jordan Burch and Derrick Harmon now in Plus Breland and Green will relieve them to keep everyone fresh.

Bluey is the best kid’s show on TV. I am probably going to watch that with my daughter instead of some 9am kickoff game that doesn’t involve the Ducks. But I know that I’m the only adult with that opinion.

Oregon got its first 2026 commitment since February with 5-star EDGE Richard Wesley picking the Ducks over Ohio State and others.

I will drag my tail out of bed and rush through the hygienic routine to catch the game but I'd really prefer a 3:00 kick (6:00 Eastern). If it was anybody other than Ohio State I'd be rooting for Texas's opponent but I really detest OSU. So Hook Um Horns.

You have the right to your opinion. Right now with two toddlers I have enjoyed the 7pm start time games because both kids are in bed and I get to watch the game uninterrupted... Or mostly uninterrupted. But I also know that I'm in the minority for that opinion. Granted I don't mind a 9am game in truth. I'm usually up by then anyways because of the children. However, my eldest doesn't like anyone watching anything on the TV that isn't Bluey or Dino Train these days.

I personally love the 9 AM games. I have been watching them since I was a kid. It is the later games that I really don't care to watch, and will not watch games that start at 7 pm or later. For me College football was Saturday morning and afternoon. I do realize that puts me in a small minority.

Commissioner Tony cannot be happy about this.

He also is doing it in complete silence compared to Riley @ Trojan U. They're both annoying but at least Husky fans care whether their team wins or not.

7 of the top 8 seeds were from the SEC. If all 7 win their regionals, 7 of 8 superregionals will be at SEC sites. Is the SEC really that much better than everyone else? Why am I so skeptical?

Wow, tOSU No.1, beating out Michigan, W and UCLA, all top public unis... Impressive.

Wait - From the Worst to the Best? Does anyone proof-read any more?

Actually the team that really got hosed might be Texas A&M. They are then number 1 seed but if they and Oregon win their regionals A&M has to play a team that is much better then its 16th seed in the supers. Just like in the football playoffs, I believe that they should bracket teams 9-16 (in football 5-8) and then let the #1 seed pick where they want to go, then let #2 pick, etc. That way the coaches, who know who they match up better against, get a choice. Would football have picked a different bracket then what they got? Your darn right they would have, the teams involved should have more of a say then a committee.

Daughter Alexis DeBoer bailed on Daddy and Dixie, stayed at UW, and was the B1G's Softball Freshman of the Year. With what he was left with, I think Fisch did a terrific job getting UW to a bowl game last season. Jedd could end up being a B1G Fisch.

These guys take offense at your characterization of the NCBWA:

Followup to the NCBWA rankings posted this week, # 6 Oregon State, # 10 UCLA and # 19 Oregon. These guys are being lazy in their weekly ranking of schools. These numbers are the current RPI for this week. As you mentioned previously, Oregon swept OSU and took two out of three against the Bruins. I doubt these clowns know that. And Iowa has an RPI of #67. Here is a break down of Oregon's wins. QUAD ONE QUAD TWO QUAD THREE QUAD FOUR 9-1 4-2 16-7 9-3

Yes, feels a bit like softball’s tourney game against Michigan: a strong, traditional B1G opponent that will likely feel obligated to put the new comers in their place, and try to stop the onslaught on B1G championships. Finding agreement in the polls is about as rare as an unassisted triple play.
