ReplyDeleteOklahoma vs Kansas will be called by Gus Johnson, Joel Klatt and Jenny Taft.
ReplyDeleteI apologize for being incorrect. I saw an ad for the game that led me to believe that Gus and Joel were calling the game.
Delete@Mark T. You are totally fine, Mark! No worries. Nobody's perfect. I appreciate your contributions to my blog! You are an amazing help!
Delete@Tamir Moore Thanks, man!

ReplyDeleteWould FOX add a third game for Saturday if there isn't a World Series Game 7?
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Actually, yes. If the Diamondbacks/Rangers series ends in six games or less, FOX would add a third game at 7 PM (ET).
DeleteThere is a delay in the Oklahoma-Kansas game, which will likely push Oregon-Utah to a different channel for the start.
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Thanks bro for you pointing this out! Oklahoma-Kansas was moved to FS1 for the competition (except in local markets), so the Oregon-Utah game could start on time on FOX. This caused the Purdue-Nebraska game (which was originally scheduled for a 3:30 PM ET/2:30 PM CT start on FS1) to move over to FS2 for about an hour or so. And some racing programming got bumped to the FOX Sports App. I know, plenty of changes here.
DeleteWhen will we know which games are on FOX next week?
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Mark, normally we find out which games each network has on a Monday (either late morning or in the afternoon). Typically anyway. Penn State/Maryland is the 3:30 PM ET window next week, with FOX carrying a TBD 12:00 PM ET game, with a potential 7:00 PM ET window between Teams TBD thrown in if the Diamondbacks-Rangers World Series ends by next Friday (November 3).
DeleteIt makes sense now.
DeleteRudy Martzke on X has confirmed the lineups for this week.
ReplyDeleteDid they switch K-State-Texas to FS1 for the Penn State-Maryland game? (Couldn't watch the ending of that game because I was busy)
ReplyDelete@Mark T. Mark, the Penn State-Maryland game actually started on FS2. Unlike last week, FOX kept the Big Noon Saturday game on the main channel past 3:30 PM (ET). FOX later joined Penn State/Maryland in progress about a half-hour following the game's beginning.
DeleteWhy couldn't they put it on FS1?
Delete@Mark T. To be quite honest, I don't know. When games spill over (when one game begins while the previous game is finishing up and/or going to overtime), I think FOX should emphasize FS1 first before any other channel.
Delete@Tamir Moore That's what I'm saying! I don't recall there being an important game on Fs1, so FOX shouldve been able to put the PSU game on that channel.
DeleteOregon vs Oregon State will be called by Jason Benetti, Brock Huard, and Allison Williams
ReplyDeleteTom Rinaldi is the 2nd sideline reporter for Ohio State- Michigan.
ReplyDeleteIt will be Michigan vs Iowa in the Big Ten Championship Game.
ReplyDeleteMountain West Championship will be called by Jason Benetti, Brock Huard, Petros Papadakis, and Allison Williams.
ReplyDeleteBig Ten Championship will be called by Gus Johnson, Joel Klatt, Jenny Taft and Tom Rinaldi.
@Mark T. Thanks, man
