    More importantly, who will be in the booth? I really don't care which network broadcasts game, but the announcers determine whether I turn off the sound or not! :wink:

    Kp,

    This game will be the 100th straight game. Big Bucks for the Big Ten Conference. Chris Spielman will be part of the broadcast as color man and commentator.

    I guess all the really big Big10 games will be on Fox. Even Mich State vs Notre Dame 2 teams who had awful seasons in 2016 will be a Prime Time game on Fox.

    What's happening with the Friday Night games, are they still going to happen or have they been shelved for now?

    Terry,

    I am not sure how the Friday night games are going to be played. High School coaches are up in arms as they should be. Urban and Harbaugh both have expressed their displeasure. Money still talks, and that is the nut that will have to be cracked.

    Don, I guess that's good for OSU :lol:

    Terry,
    I didn't like the Friday night games when I was working because I usually was doing something at the end of the work week, but now that I'm retired, I have to look at the calendar to tell which day of the week it is. Saturday and Sunday are special now because the grandkids are out of school. 8)
