FOX Announces Time Slot for Ohio State vs Penn State and Fans Should Be Infuriated

College football has dropped the ball once again. Not only will LSU-Alabama be played this wekend 3:30 as opposed to a primetime slot, but now Ohio State-Penn State, November 23rd's mega-matchup, is also going to miss out on a coveted 7 or 8 p.m. ET slot.

The No. 1 Buckeyes and No. 4 Nittany Lions won't do battle under the bright lights of Ohio Stadium. Instead, they'll get a noon ET kickoff.

You couldn't arrange a worse start time for one of the biggest games of the season if you tried.

While this won't take any of the juice out of a matchup between two of the five best teams in the country, as Heisman contenders will still be littering the field regardless, it's a perfect example of just how profoundly television networks can mess things up for fans. Who wants No. 1 versus No. 4 at noon?

They'll have to start tailgating in Columbus before sunrise.

For the more optimistic among you, this means that Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt will likely be on the call, and those guys are probably a superior team as compared to Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit in the way of pure excitement.

Always look on the bright side of life, Big Ten fans.
