OSU's First 3 Games Set at Noon, Plus Best Guesses For Rest

  • In the 90's FSU played many of their games in primetime. To get three games at night in Urbs first season is spectacular!

  • I believe 12-0 is a strong possibility and I won't back off of it, but that night game in Happy Valley makes me nervous. It WILL be another whiteout! 2005 comes to mind and how intimidating it is... I never saw Ginn play that much like a bitch in my life. Hopefully Urban will have these boys ready to strap up and slap up them damn kitty cats!

    Is there a chance the Cal game may still be a night game? West coast team, out of conference, three hour time difference. That would set up perfect for a night game.

    No, usually, they announce all the night games up front right now and that's it. Rest are day games. OSU also doesn't want 2 in a season. 1 is enough.

    Ohio State will play in three prime time games in 2012 – Urban Meyer’s first season as the OSU coach.

    So even though OSU can not go to the post season, the B1G still puts the Buckeyes center stage.

    I will be in town for Homecoming and the Nebraska game! I cannot wait to celebrate a big time win for our homecoming. Also, sometimes "the Game" is played at 3:30pm (see 2006). So that could be a possibility. I am trying to get back for that game as well.

    I would not call 1 time out of a 100 or so games "sometimes" "The Game" is played at 3:30pm ..

  • Lates schedule update has OSU starting at noon first 3 weekends, all at home.

    Sept.. 1 Miami (Ohio), BTN

    Sept. 8, Central Florida (ESPN2)

    Sept. 15, California (ABC)

    My best guesses on the rest:

    2012 Ohio State Schedule

    Sept. 1 – Miami (Ohio), noon (BTN) OFFICIAL Meyer's first game at OSU

    Sept. 8 – Central Florida, noon (ESPN2) OFFICIAL

    Sept. 15 – California, noon (ABC regional, back haul likely on ESPN or ESPN2) OFFICIAL

    Sept. 22 – Alabama-Birmingham, likely noon on BTN

    Sept. 29 –at Michigan State, have to think 3:30 on ABC

    Oct. 6 – Nebraska (OFFICIAL: 8 p.m. on ABC, ESPN or ESPN2)

    Oct. 13 – at Indiana (OFFICIAL: 8 p.m. on the Big Ten Network)

    Oct. 20 – Purdue, likely noon on BTN, ESPN or ESPN2 unless Michigan-MSU is the noon game, then it could be 3:30

    Oct. 27 – at Penn State (OFFICIAL: 6 p.m. on ABC, ESPN or ESPN2)

    Nov. 3 – Illinois, likely noon on ESPN or ESPN2 with Neb-MSU probably at 3:30

    Nov. 10 – Open

    Nov. 17 – at Wisconsin, could be noon or 3:30, depends what they want to do with Iowa-Michigan the same day, probably 3:30 would be my guess

    Nov. 24 – Michigan, noon (ABC) OFFICIAL

  • The Big Ten Conference today (Thursday) announced game times and television assignments for the first three weekends of the 2012 college football season. Ohio State will begin the season with three consecutive Noon ET kicks, starting Sept. 1 against Miami (Ohio) on BTN.

    The Sept. 8 home game with UCF will also kick at Noon ET and will be televised on ESPN2, while the Sept. 15 home game with California will be televised at Noon ET on ABC (full national).

    Four previous game times have already been announced, which include two consecutive night games vs. Nebraska (Oct. 6, 8 p.m. ET, ABC or ESPN/2) at Ohio Stadium and at Indiana (Oct. 13, 8 p.m. ET, BTN). Ohio State will play under the lights a third time at Penn State Oct. 27 (6 p.m. ET, ABC or ESPN/2) while Ohio State and Michigan will kick at Noon ET Nov. 24 at Ohio Stadium.

  • It's kind of nice most of the games have start times already. It's hard to make plans sometimes, because you usually don't know until two weeks before the game.

  • Them putting the Cal game at noon doesn't make any sense. I thought for sure that would be a 3:30 start.

    Agreed, I can't figure that out. They put Navy-Penn State on ABC at 330 instead. I would have figured 330 just so west coast viewers could also watch, but it is just Cal (not Oregon or USC), so there you go.

  • Don't laugh but central fla may be a better opponent than cal. I like that opportunity early in year. If we were playing for a bowl would be very good non conf strength of schedule game.

    At least the Nebraska game is at 8. Dying for night games as a student - there's nothing better.

    I think it's safe to assume that the UAB game will be a noon game, MSU 3:30, Purdue 12:00 or 3:30, Illini 3:30 and Wiscy 3:30

    When we got payback against Purdue 2 years ago it was a 3:30 game I believe, so I think this years will be as well. Plus when I interviewed Smith he said he wanted more afternoon/night games because the fans get more involved, so I think that makes Purdue a more likely 3:30 start. Which surprises me that the Cal game isn't at night, unless they're trying to keep it from being a night game at Cal next year.

    A night game at Cal next year means an 11pm kickoff on EST TV's. Doubt it. It'll be a 5pm kickoff like USC game.
