Live sports isn’t happening right now unless you got in on the Pay Per View nonsense the WWE attempted this past Saturday. Aside from that, all we’ve had to choose from are classic games from across the spectrum of professional and amateur sports.
BTN has gotten into the act, but they’re taking it a step further with the kickoff of Rivalry Week beginning on Monday. And guess what school is first on tap? That’s right YOUR Ohio State Buckeyes. However, it’s not games against Michigan, but games against Penn State.
We’re assuming games against the Buckeyes and Wolverines will be shown later in the week, but I guess since Penn State considers Ohio State its chief rival, its in play for BTN.
Here’s a look at what the schedule looks like from BTN on Monday between these two Big Ten heavyweights. It all begins at 6 AM Monday morning and goes through the wee hours of Tuesday.
It's rivalry week on BTN. 🥊
First: Ohio State vs. Penn State.
