Oh boy, so here we go again, folks. Ohio State fans just got another kick—maybe like, a punch to the gut?—from Fox, the network that seems to have a weird obsession with the Buckeyes. Seriously, it’s like they can’t help themselves. Fox decided, in all its wisdom, to slap not one but two Ohio State games into their Big Noon slot. Yep, you heard it right. Two.
First off, no shocker here: The Game. You know, that epic clash between Ohio State and Michigan. It’s a classic. Fox’s baby, right? Now, they didn’t say it’ll be a noon kickoff, but let’s be real, it always is.
But wait, here’s the kicker. Remember that Texas game? Yeah, that’s another Big Noon featured shindig when the Longhorns roll into town on August 30. And, like, considering both teams are probably gonna be riding high in the rankings, top-five matchup maybe? Surely sparks will fly… and possibly tacos, but that’s just my wishful thinking.
Now Ross Bjork, the man, the myth, the Athletic Director—he’s been shouting from the rooftops about Ohio State deserving more primetime love. I kinda get it. Since 2019, Ohio State’s graced Fox’s Big Noon show a whopping 22 times. And who’s next? Michigan with a mere 17. Poor Michigan.
Just last year in ’24, they were the spotlight five times! Mix in seven noon starts and… well, you get the picture. Folks are tired, guys. Tired of brunching with Buckeyes. Throwback to that wild vibe at Ohio Stadium when Tennessee stopped by for the College Football Playoff. The night was electric! Man, I’m getting goosebumps just thinking about it. We’ve had a taste. We want more.
Fox, it’s time to spread the noon-slotted sunshine, ya know? Let others bask in it too, for the love of all things football.
