[Husker] October 1st TV Information & October 8th TV Thoughts (Long)

[Gary Fead]

Greetings All:

Here is the final complete TV list for the Big XII on Saturday, October 1st:

11:00 AM - Texas at Missouri (ABC - Regional)
11:30 AM - Baylor at Texas A&M (FSN Syndication)
2:30 PM - Iowa State at Nebraska (ABC - Regional)
6:00 PM - Kansas State at Oklahoma (FSN National)


Looking ahead a little bit to October 8th (the TV status of these games will be announced on Monday, September 26th, unless ABC exercises one of their 6 day "windows" in which case the announcement will come on Sunday, September 25th) - 

ABC National has Texas/Oklahoma in Dallas at 11:00 AM (this is the only ABC slot for the 8th)
TBS National has 3:00 PM CT slot
FSN National has 6:00 PM CT slot


Now here is the conference schedule for the 8th:

Texas at Oklahoma (ABC National)
Kansas at Kansas State
Texas A&M at Colorado
Baylor at Iowa State
Texas Tech at Nebraska
Missouri at Oklahoma State

Nebraska will do everything possible to avoid playing their Homecoming game at night (the Texas Tech game is Homecoming), so with the early slot on ABC taken by Texas/Oklahoma that pretty much leaves the 3:00 PM slot on TBS if the game is to be televised. 

My guess is that the Big XII has been told that Texas A&M/Colorado, Texas Tech/Nebraska and Missouri/Oklahoma State are on the make ready list until next Monday pending some of this weekend's outcomes. North Texas plays at Kansas State (KSU should win), Indiana State plays at Texas Tech (Texas Tech should win), Texas State plays Texas A&M (Texas A&M should win) and finally Colorado plays at Miami (Miami should win). 

My guess is TBS takes Texas Tech at Nebraska if TT wins this weekend (which they should), and FSN takes Missouri at Oklahoma State unless Colorado pulls off the upset in Miami in which case they take Texas A&M at Colorado.

We'll see what happens next week and happy viewing-
