HALFTIME, OSU 13, WISCONSIN 3, FANS 0

Once again the fans are in between the tussle of Big Ten TV, broadcast TV and cable over who gets to show the game and charge for it. A couple of the cable companies have already caved and are paying big bucks to carry the games. Meanwhile OSU isn't doing squat to assist the fans or alumni. After all, they are only the people paying the freight.

Isn't OSU football basically carrying the rest of the school, financially speaking? I mean I am sure that the women's field hockey program is attracting their crowd, but how is that women's department's study of violence by the patriarchal doing these days. They blame OSU football and their fathers.

UPDATE: A friend suggested listening on the internet to get around the TV screwup and guess what, radio is screwing fans as well. http://www.1460thefan.com/ is charging people to listen live. You have to buy a "Web Blitz" pass to listen on The Fan. Well, I am no fan and never will be, the pimps.
