WTIC 1080 Broadcasting Oklahoma/FIU Game this Saturday...

[ElGuapo]

and promoting it like it's the game of the year only to be heard on some version of "Hartford's 50,000 watt sports leader" commercial bumper.
"Big 12 Champion..." was also mentioned to carry some weight to the nobody in the state who will tune in to listen to it.

It immediately made me sad for Joe D. who has to work there with UConn's season starting this week.

Ugh...

Well, now I am delighted the 50k watt leader doesn't reach FF County.

Is the "media" in Connecticut touting our game Thursday night? Are there TV ads, radio, etc?

 

[ElGuapo]

Oops. Should be "FAU" in the title.

But it doesn't matter at all...

 

[Drew]

why is this a big deal exactly?

No

That's actually gonna be an awesome game. I'll definitely be watching.

Or, OU-FAU could actually be a blowout. Who knows, but there's NFW I'm interested enough to watch. And, it's far more challenging to conceive of anyone listening to WTIC's radio broadcast. Competing 12 noon TV games I probably won't watch due to minimal interest and general disdain for MD and Ohio State: Texas/MD and OR St/Ohio St.

Other people like college football and like to watch it. They even like to watch schools they don't like because it's fun to watch when they lose.

Doesn’t hurt to have more games in the market. Better this than more “Garden Talk.”

Speak for yourself.

These petunias don't grow themselves.

I like the computer show better. I try to figure out which Boneyard poster each caller is.

It’s August West

Thanks for taking my call. First time, long time. You probably get this question often but what is the best way to clean horsey sauce out of my laptop. I’ll hang up and listen.

You have to tag, @August_West in these. He doesn't do football. Vile creature that he is for his football opinions.

 

[August_West]

I root for UConn, but Im not up to date on where we are.

Can we keep it within 40 points of UCF on Thursday?

 

[Hoophound]

If we take our foot off the gas in the fourth quarter.

 

[August_West]

If we take our foot off the gas in the fourth quarter.

Really?

Thats awesome. We are favored over UCF?

What time does game start ? I land at Bradley at 6. Someone give me a ticket** and I will show up on my way home.

(**Box only offers please)

 

[tiger8mush]

We are favored over UCF?

the only game we are currently favored to win is URI. All others we are underdogs.

We are at our best as underdogs.

As I have to work on Saturday, I will be listening to this game. Loved Oklahoma growing up (because some of my relatives were Husker fans-Aunt was a Husker alum & I was the contrarian in the family)
The "Conspiracy Kitty" in my brain offers up this:
-WTIC showing the Big XII that Connecticut is worthy of admission by broadcasting this contest (& hopefully others in the future) & attaining decent ratings
-Trying to achieve better ratings than UConn's IMG broadcast & proving to UConn that it made a mistake by not re-upping with 1080.
-Bizarro world master plan to get UCONN into a P-5 conference

 

[Waquoit]

TIC must be getting the game for free. That's the way they roll now.

 

[coachcap]

Oklahoma up 28-zip after 1 quarter. Game quickly became a yawner. Announcer mentioned that FAU gets $ 2 million for its appearance.

 

[coachcap]

Now the announcer says that Lane Kiffen is treating this game as a preseason contest. Has he been listening to Bob Diaco?
