Start time for OU vs Texas

[mhenson101]

Fox keeps on say 11:00 Eastern that would be 10:00 Central, is this true?

 

[CTOkie]

Game starts at 11 am CST, noon EST.

I noticed several times during their promotional Saturday that they said 11 Eastern.
It has to be 11 Central.

I think the pregame show starts at 11 eastern and the game starts at 12 eastern.

 

[Patriotgame]

I think the pregame show starts at 11 eastern and the game starts at 12 eastern.

Runningback43 is correct...

 

[soonermade]

Yep, my ESPN app says 12 eastern.

I hate to bring this up, but the game will be televised on FS1. When was the last time the RRR was a second tier broadcast?

 

[runningback43]

No idea on your question Medic. I do remember a time or two that the RRS was not shown in Nebraska on tv. Didn't happen very often, but it did happen a few times.

Fox Sports opted to feature BYU - Utah over the RRR. That is sad.

 

[Medic007]

I may be completely wrong, but I believe under the provisions of the 2012 contract, ABC/ESPN has first choice on 19 Big 12 games, the RRR being one they usually reserve. FS1 was the selected broadcast channel if ABC declined and it wasn't picked by FOX for primary channel broadcast. It doesn't affect revenue, but for the RRR to be bumped to FS1 in lieu of BYU/ UTAH and Notre Dame/ NC State on FOX and ABC respectively sucks pond water.

Four (five) weeks in to the season and four losses between them. (I know there were only three losses when the schedule was announced).
Not a "good" win between them (ND is not a good team this year).
Did anyone really expect this to be the Game of the Week?

 

[Oklabama]

It is for me.
