It will be interesting to see if we take the same approach tonight that we did in Detroit - making things a little extra chippy from the very start to erode the Redskins (by that I mean russet potatoes, not an indigenous people) composure.

Over the summer a coach told me they had encouraged players to add an extra shove, push, bump and other (legal) contact to the end of every play in Detroit simply to mess with Miamians' heads.

Please remind me exactly how much a MAC team gets for a midweek football game.

About $170,000. You could argue that the gate is more valuable if you could *prove* that it would sell out if it weren't on tv. Otherwise, it's all conjecture.


That number seems way low and even if you don't sell out, you make double that easy. Hell 15,000 at $25/each is $375,000 and that's not counting parking and concessions. Miami/Ohio would easily clip 15,000 on a Saturday, probably 20,000.


But you're looking at total gate revenue. The question is the DIFFERENCE in gate revenue between a Saturday afternoon and a Tuesday night. Especially when you consider several thousand of the lesser Tuesday crowd still were included in season tickets, and students are free anyway...the number is probably somewhere around 5k tops. Which would probably translate to around 100 grand, and you can start to see how that 170k broadcast bump makes sense.

There is also the argument of exposure, not just for the football program but the university at large. And in recruiting, being able to cite the number of games broadcast on ESPN or ESPN2 is impactful.

I do understand the argument, on both sides, which is why I actually like what our schedule has been for many years now, which is 4 weekend games and 2 weekday games. You get some of both. Playing all weekdays would be really dumb and awful. But never playing on ESPN wouldn't be good either.

I guess part of the rotation of being in a pod with Ball State and Miami is some years we play Ball on a weeknight and Miami on a Saturday. If that's the case, I'd expect a midweek game in Oxford next year as well as a September Saturday at home with Ball State. Meh.

Fellow YouTubeTV subscribers as of last week: what are you doing about tonight?

The Extra Points newsletter had an interesting graphic today on how much alcohol is sold at college football stadiums so far this Fall. Through FOIA requests they got data from 21 institutions about their sales through August and September. This shows some of the revenue generated from home football games.

Not surprisingly, all the MAC Schools were pretty far down the list, due to mainly lower attendance/smaller stadiums. Listed in order by total revenue generated by alcohol sales.

Ohio is the highest Group of 5 team reported in the data. Miami - next to last

School Units Sold Total Revenue

University of Wisconsin, Madison 255,122 $3,088,690

University of Nebraska 168,293 $2,074,806.25

University of Tennessee 107,473 $1,623,728

LSU 134,668 $1,446,698

University of Minnesota No Data $1,038,758.67

University of Michigan 71,475 $985,266.05

Indiana University 85,887 $983,394

West Virginia University 98,147 $979,239

University of Kentucky No Data $898,584

Illinois 63,676 $743,690.59

And OHIO was on the road to Rutgers and OSU during that stretch, just think where we would be with 5 home games like OSU.

I noticed the same thing watching live last year. The tight ends and o-line were all over their d-line and backers. Mason Williams was in their linebacker's head all night LOL. Albin and the staff had them ready to play...will see if Smith and boys are ready for another fist fight tonight!! Let's go Cats!!

I too have Disney+ but I guess I need an ESPN package on top of it? That's what it looked like for Pataskala in the other thread and that's the case for me, so I'm doing a one-day Sling pass too.

Does any QB in the country throw more unlucky/garbage time interceptions than Navarro? Always seems like he’s getting picked off from 50-50 balls, deflections, Hail Mary passes, or 4th down plays where he has to throw it. He definitely throws some bad ones from time to time too but man.

Apparently that doesn’t work either.

So, I won’t be watching. Just got Marty up on the radio ready for the 2nd quarter.

How we lookin so far? 0-0 battle.

Yeah he definitely gets unlucky sometimes. Chase needed to come down with that one. Parker dropped it in the only spot he could.

Frankly I think he throws a lot of balls that not that accurate. Just got lucky in 1 a minute ago. He’s been off tonight, low, high etc

Marty said Dukes stuffed 2 of them?

Welcome all to the Frank, to all who attended, Home of the Ohio Bobcats and the worst special teams in the Country. For some reason there are two halves in this game. Lets win the second.

Hell of a defensive stand. 5 chances from the 2 and end up with 3.

Wish they would’ve went for it again and had us stop them cold.

To give up only 3 points from that position is a heck of a victory imo.
