Channel Chooser: A Buckeye's Best Bets
Now, armed with the knowledge of the network, we can navigate the television battlefield. Here's a quick rundown of some of the usual suspects:
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
- The CBS Saturday Showdown: If it's a big conference game, tune in to CBS. Their "Big Noon Kickoff" often features the Buckeyes taking on their biggest rivals.
- ESPN: The Worldwide Leader in Buckeye Domination: Often the home for primetime games and bowl appearances, keep an eye on ESPN. You might even catch a glimpse of Kirk Herbstreit rocking some scarlet and gray (come on, Kirk, we all know you secretly love them!)
- The Foxborough Shuffle: That's right, folks, everyone's favorite channel, Fox, might also snag an Ohio State game, especially those early season non-conference matchups.
Bonus Round: Don't Forget the Streaming Service Soldiers!

In this brave new world of streaming, there are a few warriors to consider:
- Paramount+: The home of CBS, you might be able to stream the game here with a subscription.
- ESPN+: The digital arm of ESPN, this could be your salvation for those out-of-market Buckeye battles.
- Fox Sports Go: Similar to ESPN+, this is Fox's answer to streaming woes.
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
Still Stuck? Don't Panic!
Fear not, fellow Buckeye! Here are some last-ditch efforts:
- Social Media to the Rescue: Twitter can be a goldmine of information. Follow Ohio State Football's official accounts or sports news outlets for real-time updates on where to find the game.
- The Friend Who Always Knows: We all have that one friend who seems to have an antennae that magically picks up every sporting event. Give them a shout, they might be your hero in disguise (and they probably owe you a beer anyway).
QuickTip: Scroll back if you lose track.
Buckeye Bonus: How-To FAQs
- How to impress your friends with your Buckeye knowledge? Learn the fight song ("Fight the Team Fight for Old O.S.U"!) and casually break it out at the beginning of the game. Bonus points for knowing all the verses.
- How to deal with a grumpy spouse/significant other who isn't a Buckeye fan? Offer to make their favorite snacks and assure them the emotional rollercoaster will be over in a few hours (or maybe not, depending on the game).
- How to survive a blowout loss? Distract yourself with delicious Buckeye-themed desserts (nutty bars, anyone?) and remember, there's always next season!
- How to celebrate a hard-fought Buckeye victory? High fives, cheers, and maybe a celebratory dance (the Carlton is always a crowd-pleaser).
- How to avoid getting into a fight with a rival fan? Channel your inner zen master and remember, at the end of the day, it's just a game (mostly).
So there you have it, Buckeye Nation! With this guide, you'll be a channel-surfing champion, ready to witness the glory of Ohio State football. Now go forth and conquer the television wasteland, and O-H!
