I know Fox hasn't been in the CFB game for long and FS1 is pretty new and they haven't had access to a lot of the better match ups, but that is ****ing sad. Really ****ing sad

Some Texas beat guys are doing the math on this and they say all OU v Texas has to do is match its ratings from last year (on ABC) and it will easily be FS1's biggest game ever. Even if it's down slightly, it might still be. This is the "PLEASE WATCH FOX SPORTS 1" bowl.

You're probably right, I have no clue how TV stuff works. I just get sick of OU/Big 12 losing at every possible turn. I'm sure you're right about the playoff baseball thing too, I just can't remember this ever being an issue before.
Lololololololololololololol
what were the ratings last year?

Kinda like being the best Mexican restaurant in Calgary.
Because nothing says major sports network like watching FC Ingolstadt 04 v 1 FC Koln as your lead in and having Alexi Lalas doing the pregame show.
Hi guys!
The other problem, of course, is that you know you are in a minor conference when it is June and they are scheduling Saturday games all the way out to October.
Didn't some BDF game get moved to Fox news channel last year??

This is bull****. OU deserves so much more as a national brand and title contender. FS1 is for Nascar, and outside of Gus Johnson, their announcers suck.

Ames, Manhattan, and Lubbock are all cow towns. I will never go to Ames again. My road trip(s) this year will be WVU and maybe Houston. My only home game will be Ohio St. Iowa St. has been a brutal game to attend on a Saturday, let alone a Thursday. Rhodes is gone so I expect a nice win, but we are setting ourselves up for more disaster. and yes, Driving across Kansas ****ing sucks. And the way to Ames is a ****ing toll road all the way thru Kansas.

...the Aggies are the only school in Texas that belongs to the SEC. Quite frankly, I do not envision Texas A&M ever risking the loss of that distinction by supporting or promoting the future inclusion of Texas in the SEC.

If it's really a matter of ESPN choosing ND/Texas with their first pick (and in doing so they were forced to leave the door open for FOX on the OU/Texas game), then I get it - OU/Texas will be back next year but ND/Texas is a rare matchup. If that's the case, I'm really not worried about the broader implications or loss of prestige of the RRS.
But strictly as a watcher of football games, this news sucks because FS1 sucks.

I am simply floored the Big 12's marquee game of the year at the Cotton Bowl will not be on over-the-air TV.
Time to get into the tarp business in Temple. There will be plenty of business in Waco and Austin.
Hilarious!

OK, I'm pissed about OU/sips on FS1....
On Saturday mornings FS1 usually shows a good Bundesliga match. An 11:00 kick time for the Red River Who Cares Bowl will directly conflict with a 6pm Deutsche local time kick for a Bundesliga matchp.
The sips and thieves better hope that FS1 doesn't compare the ratings of the Who Cares Bowl against what Bundesliga draws.... Red River might find itself bumped to the Root Network. They probably couldn't compete against a top-drawer matchup such as Bayern Munich v. Borussia Dortmund.
In fact, Root might work better for RedRiver.... its' usually an 11am kick which gives Root plenty of time to air the game to the tens and tens of viewers before their signal goes down around sundown......

If it was such a big game, it would have been slotted for Monday.
