FC: Is the BTN intentionally snubbing us ?

  • FireJayPa said...

    Except they have these things called sponsors.

    And the last thing Rotell chili or whatever 2-bit sponsor they have wants is you to see Sandusky on the sideline of some old PSU game and then go to commercial break.

    I know, everyone is out to get PSU. ESPN hates PSU. Big 2 Little 10 hates PSU. Everyone is out to get Paterno State University.

    There is this thing called editing. Even without sandusky they edit half the game.

    You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game, life or football-the margin for error is so small. -Pacino

    More time for commercial breaks from that chili or Velveeta cheese.

    $25 million is a nice number, and I'm pretty sure that's all Erickson should think about.

    Other than for us as fans, the sole purpose of the BTN is to drive revenue for each school. As long as we all get equal portions then the president and ad won't say anything.

    Hopefully once all this JS stuff wraps up we can get some more air time, but until then don't hold your breath. If you REALLY need a football fix, I'm pretty sure ESPN3 will have some PSU replays available to watch.

    Meh, it's summer. Rahter than worry about what's airing on BTN, watch the NBA/Hockey playoffs. Go to the beach and stare at girls, take a hike, catch a baseball game...a million things to do in summer.

  • As long as the Big Ten officials call holding penalties on opposing teams, don't call delay of game penalties after dropping the ball on a false start, and overall don't officiate PSU games like Stern and Co is doing this Heat/Boston series I don't really care what Delaney and his suits think. Last seasons Leaders title game was an absolute joke, and if that caries over into this season, I will be pissed.

    Couldn't agree more.

    If you want to be really pissed, wait till you see our scheduled opponent in the Big10 - Pac12 opponent. I'm hearing (from a Pac12 source), that we're not going to be very happy.

    Washington State?

    This. I wouldn't be pissed at Colorado, Cal type teams. Washington State type would be a deliberate slap in the face. An easy win though :-)

    How on God's green earth would you not be happy with playing Colorado??? I'll bet every team in the B10 is fighting to get that trip (which is why I'm not getting my hopes up that we'll get it). The most beautiful college town on the planet (ok, at least in the US).

    I remember reading some B12 "best road trips" or "best away settings" (or something like that) polls. It's always CU in Boulder winning, then everyone else fighting for second.

    BoulderFish, I pray we get that game and I am not religious! Both my boys will be their so it would be fun! I will never get over people smoking more pot before the game than drinking! Boulder at its finest.

    +1. Even though I love Tucson, I often regret moving out of Boulder.

  • While I would love to play USC, Oregon or Stanford, all those teams are on a roll right now and would be tough games to play considering PSU would have to travel to the west coast every other year. For the next couple of years, I wouldn't mind playing a school like UCLA b/c you would still get the exposure to southern California but you would be playing an inferior team. Also, PSU would get to play in the Rose Bowl. I also wouldn't mind playing Colorado or Washington either. Both are traditionally decent programs and would provide a decent game but nothing too tough while getting PSU exposure on the west coast.

  • Make of it what you want, but today the BTN is airing entire Big Ten Icons series. They showed John Cappelletti. After the players, they moved to the coaches. All the notable coaches plus one's I'd never heard of were shown. Not JoePa though.

    It's entirely possible they hadn't produced an Icon show for Joe yet. Afterall, 7 months ago we were getting ready to play Nebraska, Joe coaching.

  • I wanted UDub, though for selfish reasons as well. I live in Seattle. But UW has the 2nd most Pac-10 wins in history, and historically speaking is a top 20 program, that looks to get back there in the next 3 or 4 years. Their fanbase is very similar to midwest school's as well.

    I could have sworn they had. Maybe not.

    Maybe it's just me but I used to watch the BTN all the time . They had alot of PSU content. Ever since the S went down we are (IMO) personna non grata on the BTN...just curious if anyone else feels the same ? It's fairly blatant.

    The answer is yes. Unequivocally, yes.

    We never should have joined a conference. Big East here we come... panic
