They need to fire up that HD truck and get it to Oregon.

I agree, I find it very hard to believe that the game won't be on ESPN. .

you do? ESPN had first rights and passed. Fox was up next and passed.

Makes total sense ESPN wants back in on this powerhouse ratings grabber.

The game should at least be on ESPN U

Screw that. Put it live on BYU TV so LDS folks around the globe can cheer BYU to victory.

I can see Pac giving rights to this game to BYUTV...like when hell freezes over. I wonder how LAUte and IPU feel about that.

If the Beavs try any funny business, Kal and Stanford will step in to veto it, no doubt.

Just in case hell does freeze over I urge all to be prepared by going to www.shelfreliance.com, a BYUtv sponsor.

This independence thing is working nicely for BYU. I feel like I've seen them on TV more than any team outside of LSU.

Too bad they haven't been great performances...

People that watched any of the games in their entirety without allegiance to either team should be rewarded with a subscription to Popular Mechanics, paid for by BYU.

So, the only way to watch the OSU BYU game is to pay 10 bucks to watch it over the internet? Lame.

What tier of rights is that, and how much of the $10 will trickle its way down to Kyle Whittingham's waistline?

I've noticed that there are a ton of players with the same number this season. I know it's a fairly common practice for a couple of players to have the same number, but it seems like this team is loaded with same number players. I know it's probably necessary with a big roster, but it kind of annoys me.

I've noticed that as well. Here's the ones that jump out:

9 - Heaps, Sorensen
6 - Jacobson, Jordan Johnson
3 - Lark, KVN
2 - Hoffman, Spencer Hadley

I just checked the roster, and there are actually a ton more. If some of these guys were playing better, things could be a lot more confusing. Has it always been like this?

[jay santos]

Has it always been like this?

Yes. Maybe not to this extent. But offensive and defensive players have always shared numbers.

[Flystripper]

Yes. Maybe not to this extent. But offensive and defensive players have always shared numbers.

yeah special teams can get tricky.
