[NU Sports] dOSU losing to the CATS!!! on TV

[John Labbe]

It does now appear that our game this week at Ohio State will be nationally broadcast on ABC.  As far as I can recall, this will be a first in recent memory (my recent memory goes back to the mid-90s).  Other than bowl games (Rose and Citrus), I don't recall any of our games being nationally televised on a network station.  Oh, one other exception would be ND 1995, which would have been nationally televised on NBC.

In any event, we may have the largest TV audience for this game than any NU game since the 97 Citrus Bowl.  Let's hope that's a good thing!  (If anyone has access to the TV ratings, that would be an interesting post.  They're not readily available online, as far as I can tell.)

Here are the relevant links:

The NU sports site is saying it will be regional, but I believe they are mistaken.  It does say that the game will be called by Musburger, Danielson, and Arute, who I believe are the A-team for ABC.
