It’s nice to read something on this low budget web site about a major program like OSU. I’m fed up with the rah-rah UD bullcrap. Why the hell does the DDN have to promote a low/mid-major program like UD which has only won one NCAA game in the past 25 years?By Doug

Direct TV doesnt have the Big Ten network anymore. They should show the SEC network, maybe OSU will learn how to win against BIG TEAMS instead of that Little Ten Conference
