Usually, I get to see several games a season, not just OSU, but all of the Big Ten. This year, I just don't see it on TV and I'm don't have the ability to follow it as I once did, and I think that has lowered my consciousness of making sure I get my picks in ontime. <BR/><BR/>I heard a Bo Ryan quote from last week, a journalist asked him if he was going to enjoy an off day and watch some of the other Big Ten teams play and he replied, "I can't, I don't have the Big Ten Network!" I heard that Izzo also voiced some frustration with the Networks lack of reaching deals with cable company's and hurting the fans abilities to see their teams.<BR/><BR/>I wish more coaches around the league would step up and make comments like this; in Columbus, Tressel and Matta are here and there on TV and Radio plugging the Network, but they don't look excited about it, but they are promotting it and I wish they wouldn't.<BR/><BR/>They never should have been allowed to put the BTN into place without at least the ability to reach every home that wanted it.<BR/><BR/>That's my "BTN B!tch of the Week" segment. <BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, welcome back Andy:)<BR/><BR/>AndrewAndrewJ1313https://www.blogger.com/profile/01534005721988476878noreply@blogger.com
