KU football will play Oklahoma at either 2:30 or 7 p.m. on ABC

I know many have probably seen this but I'm looking for some thoughts.

Which time would you rather have?

I know 7 for me is the choice. All day to tailgate and a rare night game at Memorial would mean a rowdy crowd. Peope want to make little jabs about people leaving during games but in a huge game like this there is no doubt the place will be packed and loud.

What has to happen to get the 7 pm game?

It's between our game and Texas vs. Missouri. Is it all about the Red River Shootout outcome or do KU and Misery's outcomes matter as well?

Either way, I'm pumped for having the 2 prime spots as options.

I want the 7:00 time as well. The idea of tailgating all afternoon and then going into Memorial and stomping some Sooners sounds great to me.

7, 7, 7.

Obviously, tailgating isn’t the issue for me, but I think it would be super fantastic to have us in THE primetime slot for ESPN/ABC. Yes, it wouldn’t be a national telecast, but everything else would feel the same — night game, huge game, against power Oklahoma. That kind of stuff. I really hope we get it.

I bet whoever wins the Red River Shootout gets it, though. Which sure looks like it’ll be Texas. But if Oklahoma is coming off a huge win, and we don’t choke against Colorado, the game will be pretty high up there. Maybe even the Gameday location.

If it were at 7 it would be a national telecast

and if it were at 2:30 then it would be split between either ABC or ESPN, no?

Wait. Sarah Palin's in Hong Kong? But who's watching Russia?

Don't they usually do 3 games at 2:30?

One on ABC, one on ESPN, and one you don’t get depending on which region you’re in. So I DEFINITELY vote for 7 just to make sure I get to watch us bury the Sooners once and for all!

I hate Hate HATE

‘national’ broadcasts that are regional. It’s fine if you want to switch the games between ESPN and ABC but to take a 3rd team completely out is just stupid on so many levels. Especially for those who can’t get ESPN 360.

This is great news....

for the fans for the team…this gives us hands down the best chance to win. Also don’t look now, but if we successfully negotiate Colorado and then knock off OU…Todd might find his way into the Heisman discussion a little bit more. I don’t think there’s much chance of him winning it, but getting some pub as a potential candidate during the year isn’t a bad thing for the program.

Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
