Surprising the massive media markets of Oklahoma and Nebraska couldn't command a prime time slot for such a huge game

So much THIS. Talk about a "sliver" of media markets.

The networks don't want to put this game up against Alabama/Florida which will likely be at 2:30 that day. The 50th anniversary of a historic rivalry game gets pushed to a brunch kickoff. You just hate to see it happen.

Well Nebraska is a dumpster fire right now and all of the Big 12et conference "big" games are brunch games, just like the red River tickle fight will be. Is it really smart of the AD to bite the hand that basically funds your dept...

But looking on the bright side, since it's back to normal full attendance then you should be able to seat anybody/everybody that still gives a crap.

At one time Nebraska/OU was a good game. Also at one time Blockbuster was a good way to rent a movie.

Crappy team in a decent conference vs. decent* team in a crappy conference didn't draw a great television spot. Is anyone really shocked by this?



*decent when compared to the other teams in that conference

They're lucky the game isn't being streamed on Hulu.

Ou & NU have both lowered themselves by their conference affiliations!

Again, some of those are ABC/ESPN property, like the Big 12 title game in the past three seasons and the Texas game this upcoming one. The fact that the Red River Rivalry and the Big 12 Championship are almost always 11 a.m. kicks doesn't temper this crimson anger, it accelerates it. It leaves Oklahoma feeling like they're punished for this success, and also like a kid with divorced parents who consistently gets told, "I don't care if you showered this morning at your dad's house, you're taking a shower after dinner."

The current contracts expire in 2025. Either OU can convince its Big 12 brethren to take less money in exchange for more control, or it can take all the money and lose the right to complain. It cannot do both.

They've had a solution for 11am kickoffs for some time now. Pay per view and streaming. They can have nobody watch any time they desire.

Might need a Baylor fan to explain family showering together analogies

The OU AD said he was hoping for a "more traditional time." I thought 11 AM was the Big 12 tradional time.

Remember when their leadership said, "OU will not be a wall flower during conference realignment...."?

They told us that they were going to be all right and we MADE the mistake to go to the SEC. No sympathies for either closing unwisely or the bull****ing after we dumped their pathetic butts.

Big mistake on OU's admin part 10 plus years ago, Staying tethered to tu in the big 12/10! Had they jumped ahead of mizzou and taken that spot it would have curtains for the sips in the big12! Golden opportunity missed!

As we have shown OU wouldn't have needed them.

The SEC didn't want them. They took Mizzou for the St Louis and KC tv markets. You think they want OKC and Tulsa instead?

Don't play teams that were 3-5 last year. Problem solved.

"Game of the Century"? Yeah, well maybe the AD hasn't noticed that that century is long gone and neither of these teams have really made a whole lot of noise in the current century.

OU's failure to win at least one game in the championship series they have participated in and Nebraska's has been status made the 11 AM decision easy.
