So it took up until 11 days before to decide to just have the game at the same silly time we always do? Joy.

You can thank our good friends at ESPN - they announce the times.

+1. Funny, folks are about being on TV until it's an inconvenience to them. This has been standard procedure since this tv stuff began.

I was annoyed because I didn't expect Gardner-Webb to be televised to being with. ESPN3 determines game times against a D2 opponent? Also, I thought TV was a 20-21 days decision, not 12-14.

Gardner Webb is NOT a D2 opponent!

11 days... same as last year. Not 20+ days.

FCS isn't D2.

FCS? D-II? Does it matter? Gardner Webb at Ohio is not a marquee matchup for a national tv audience.

Why was this game announced 12 days out?

It matters for people who have jobs that require work on weekends who have the desire to schedule around them to be at a game. While I don't work Saturday's, my wife does.

I'm pretty sure for basketball that it's 21 days, which is where I grabbed that number from.

No, no, no, my friend.

Should the OHIO rise up and win this one, it will be with pride held up as evidence that our coaching staff is really getting it together in their 12th year as an ensemble.

This Gardner-Webb will surely be a monumental tussle.

LOL! I was being an ass, I'll give you that. You stated that they were announced 11 days out... period. But this game wasn't so I was being a smart ass and asking why.
