Starting in 2027, there should be alternate broadcasts of TNT's noon Big 12 games aired on Cartoon Network aimed at a youth audience featuring appearances from WB-owned cartoon characters, and alternate broadcasts of CBS' Big Ten games on Nickelodeon featuring appearances from Nicktoon characters similar to the NFL games on Nick.
Of course all of this will be under one roof starting tomorrow.
Z-Man, I think more youths would be more interested in college football than Warner Brothers & Nicktoon cartoons & Speaking of cartoons they are definitely not suitable for Oregon-Michigan on CBS or TCU-Iowa State on TNT sorry about that buddy.
My God... If Z-Man said the sky was blue, you'd post something negative about it.
SEC! SEC! SEC! I enjoy watching college football, and I enjoy watching cartoons for example The Flintstone, Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote, and The Peanuts. However, I want to watch them separately.
When I watch college football I watch college football.
When I watch cartoons I watch cartoons.
Literally no one cares. At all.
You always post pointless things like this.
This Conversation is over between SEC! SEC! SEC! & Dan NW-IL-MI.
Please and thank you.
Disney couldn't pass up showing Notre Dame @ BYU in primetime on ABC.
It would be truly amazing to see Brigham Young pull off the upset!!!
Notre Dame-BYU on ABC & Oklahoma State-Houston on FOX would make fantastic choices for Big 12 fans.
I want CBS to show Michigan vs Penn state however I am very flexible with FOX FS1 to show it.
Nebraska at Oregon & Wisconsin at UCLA would make excellent CBS 3:30PM games too.
The primetime slate & most of the SEC schedule is loaded with absolutely great games!!!
Big Noon too. The P4 conferences (and especially the P2 conferences) really should put more good conference games in the first 3 weeks of the season instead of overloading the rest of the year (while the first 3 weeks are mostly dreck).
Ohio State @ Indiana will also be a great game to watch!!!
Hopefully that will be very close from start to finish.
