45-0! Ohio State dominated Purdue, and how? Ryan Day must be so proud of his squad. This was their back-to-back third victory after their winning streak was broken by the No. 1 team, Oregon. On the other hand, Purdue is struggling badly, and it has lost seven games in a row.

Despite their bad record this season, Ryan Day did not take them easy. His staff and he highlighted that they looked much better on film compared to their stats, and they did not underestimate them. This season, Day’s approach is different, and we can see the results. But hold on while the team is performing and winning games; the fans are still angry. But why? No, it is not because of Ohio State or the head coach. Fans are angry with Big Noon Kickoff for continuously scheduling Buckeyes games at 12 p.m.

Yes! Fans are not at all happy with the timings of the recent tweet shared by Big Ten Football, which said, “Just in: Week 13 kick times and network designations.” Fans have expressed their frustration. Buckeyes fans think that they deserve a prime-time slot. One of the frustrated fans commented, “@CFBONFOX Big Noon Kickoff is ruining college football. Pathetic to schedule one team at noon 6 straight weeks.” The message reflects the anger and it also highlights a growing dissatisfaction among fans.

It is obvious that all the fans want better scheduling for their favorite teams, and considering Bukeye’s performance this season, they deserve one. With the winning streak, Day’s squad has proven that it can compete and win against the strongest teams, and fans are demanding the same recognition on a bigger scale. But now the question is: will the network respond to fans’ demands and consider adjusting the schedule? What do you think?

Dude, what the Fu-K: Backlash from Buckeyes fans is serious

We are sure the Buckeyes did not want to start the game with a punt. However, they know how to recover; without wasting much time, they scored six times in a row. Yes! You heard it right. College football gets to witness such games very rarely, but did you expect that in week 11? Anyhow, despite the entertainment, what did they get in return? A noon game! Another angry fan did not hold back about the Big Noon Kickoff: “This is just getting ridiculous at this point. Just call Big Noon “Big Buckeye” or something at this point. If Ohio State makes the Big Ten championship, it will probably be at noon at that point, then too. This TV deal is a joke.”

The anger did not stop there; another fan commented, “Dude, what the f**k” The repeated noon schedules are really giving fans major issues. Ohio State gave Purdue a bad time and made it impossible for them to catch up. With such a strong performance, fans are right on their side in demanding a better schedule.

What’s your perspective on:

Ohio State's crushing wins deserve prime-time slots, not noon games—are fans right to be furious?

Have an interesting take?

The comment section of the tweet was flooded with angry fans; another blunt fan commented, “Screw Big Noon”, which expresses the common feeling among Ohio State supporters. Buckeyes are going to play their next game against Indiana, which is the undefeated team so far. They are standing at 10-0. Yes, and the face-off is going to be intense, keeping the same in mind. One of the fans wrote, “Got this wrong… Ohio State Indiana needs 330 or later! Shame:” Ohh, we don’t know about the game, but the situation here is getting intense. Will they change the timings? The new head coach, Curt Cignetti, is ruling CFB right now, and we are sure the game is going to deliver a nail-biting performance once again.

Have something to say?

Let the world know your perspective.
