Do you think TCU's battering of Texas Tech is as attractive to other fans? OU is a national draw, even when we're 5-3 If we played Baylor on ABC or Fox at 11:00 and TCU v Tech was on the other, OUr ratings would be higher.
Well, I don’t like that attitude. Put the fans first and the money will keep coming in. But forcing fans to watch on a streaming service that can’t be recorded and pay a fee to have something that you may only watch a couple of times a year isn’t fan friendly. I never failed to watch the one PPV game every year but didn’t get to watch that game this year because of ESPN+. Money isn’t the issue. Forcing you to subscribe to a streaming service to watch your favorite college team is wrong.
In the end, being on ESPN plus at least allows us as fans to watch the game. The problem is that when was the last time an OU game outside of the annual PPV game wasnt on cable TV?
I think from a national perspective, that little # 7 (& likely to get smaller) in front of TCU’s name, not to mention the Cinderella factor that LV alluded to trumps anything our game has to offer (barring an absolute mathematical miracle) again, to almost anybody outside the BU & OU fan bases. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, & I hate taking it every bit as much as anyone, but that’s the reality of the current situation. Hopefully it gets fixed in the near future.
I have it (ESPN Plus), but my dad doesn't. What a bunch of crap!
Oh it is great for basketball, baseball and Softball and that one PPV football game. This day and age though I doubt any of us ever thought a conference game in football would be relegated to it. I got it basically for the purpose of the other OU sports
No shit. That’s exactly what I thought.

I wasn't excited by it. I think it's a bunch of shit. Diluting the OU brand has been occuring on a regular now days.
Not to mention there are thousands of fans that don’t own a Smart TV. Actually when Joe announced the new partnership with ESPN I never dreamed Plus would interrupt network games. PPV was all I was expecting.
That’s the first thing I thought but so far I haven’t found one in Tulsa that’s offering the game.
In DFW, there are more Sooner fans than there are Horned Frog fans. And they're the local team. TCU only sells out at home when they're undefeated two thirds of the way through the season, or playing somebody who brings more visiting fans to the game than home fans.
Yes that was a poke at Joe Biden. I am told that Twin Peaks carries ESPN+.
Scottsdale, our only Twin Peaks is now an IHOP. Evidently, Tulsans like pancakes more than tits. I never realized that. 😂
How did this work? Just search in YouTube? I refuse to get espn plus. This will be the first time listening on radio only since the 2000 Kansas game I think.
Search YouTube for "Oklahoma vs Baylor 2022". It worked for me for the Kent State game in September.
Thanks, You suddenly made me realize why i selected Scottsdale over Tulsa as my retirement location!! The Twin Peaks in Scottsdale is super successful. Always busy full house and food is above average. The ASU girls are WELL above average!
He's definitely mediocre, but the lady on play by play was like a junior in a first year broadcasting class. If she were a guy, she couldn't get a small college gig.
That lady couldn't hold Beth Mowins jock strap, the cup of which is a teeny pad. I kinda hate Beth Mowins, but this lady today was somewhere two steps below abysmal.
