When the Pokes take the field against Missouri State on Thursday (THIS THURSDAY), it won’t be because they got hosed by the TV networks.
Because every team in the league needs to play on Thursday or Friday every few years — the TV partners have windows to fill! — Gundy wanted to try a proactive approach. Instead of being told when the Cowboys would play on Thursday nights, they would decide for themselves.
As a result, OSU will open its season not playing on a Saturday for the second consecutive season and for the third time in four years.
