ESPN & ABC will release their Big 10 football prime time telecasts tomorrow. There are two games that i'm sure will get prime time coverage on ABC and that's Nebraska @ Wisconsin, which this game has been speculated to be prime time for quite awhile with the other game being Ohio St. @ Nebraska. How many more prime time games will there be? We'll find out sometime tomorrow!
In addition, the Big 10 Network will reveal their prime time football telecasts sometime next week.

Gus Johnson lands at Fox Sports
Not even a full twenty-four hours after ending his relationship with CBS Sports, Gus Johnson has started a new relationship with Fox Sports. Gus Johnson today has been named the voice of college football for Fox Sports as well as continuing his role with the Big 10 Network and it's coverage of men's basketball. In addition, once the college football season winds down, Johnson will call select NFL games on Fox Sports.
According to a press release from Fox Sports, Johnson will team with Charles Davis to call college football action for Big 12, Conference USA and Pac-12 regular-season games on FX, two games on the Big 10 Network, one of Fox Sport's conference championship games (either the Pac 12 Championship Game or the Big 10 Championship Game), and will conclude the college football season with The Cotton Bowl in early January.
This is a great move by Fox Sports, the creation of the Gus Johnson & Charles Davis team to be Fox Sports #1 college football announcing team goes a long way to getting Fox Sports full time coverage of college football off the ground. This team will be 1000% better than what Fox Sports rolled out for it's BCS coverage.

Just a quick update on the partial blackout of the FS North/Mediacom situation
Mediacom & FS North still haven't reached an agreement on those extra 20 or so Twins games that FS North will be televising and the downer for Twins fans is that Francisco Loriano's no hitter from last week was not seen by Mediacom subscribers.
I know the non sports fans are praising Mediacom for not caving in to FS North, but it's been noted over and over again that sports on television is what's driving the ratings & advertising revenue.
Twins fans with Mediacom aren't alone, there's a similar situation happening down in Georgia with Mediacom & FS South for additional Atlanta Braves games that FS South is televising this year as well.
Yes, the baseball season is a very long marathon and to the non sports fan, having 20 out of 162 games go untelevised may not seem to be alot of games, but as a Royals fan, I watch the Royals on TV like some watch a cable primetime series or Dancing With The Stars and even I feel lost when a Royals game goes untelevised. I cann't imagine how ticked off Mediacom subscsribers were last week when they couldn't watch Loriano's no hitter.
