My one complaint is that they replay games all day known as "The Greatest Big 10 Games" (which is awesome)..........but they only have like 5 games they keep replaying over and over again.

I am sick of watching the Michigan State fake field goal over ND en sech.

What about the Colorado hail mary to beat Michigan at the last second......

What about the Nebraska/Michigan Alamo Bowl game which ended on one of the greatest game ending kick returns ever........

What about the numerous amounts of Michigan/Ohio State games which were thrillers...........

I love to watch me some football.........but not the same games over and over again.

No they have not showed any at all. In fact, like I said, they basically just have 5 games they keep showing.

It could have something to do with royalties in that they'll only heavy roll the games that were Big Ten property from start to finish?

Just a guess if they're all from the last few years or so.

I thought of that........but they keep playing the Penn State vs. Georgia Sugar Bowl from '83 as well.

Then I'll join you in that complaint department. But, not like they can play Michigan vs. Washington St. 98 Rose Bowl over and over with a straight face. :dance:

Looks like it starts Sept. 1 if you have Dish in Nebraska. More details in this article DISH Network Adding Nebraska Games - Big Ten Network

Also, they can't play our Big XII games on BTN because the conference owns the broadcasting rights. I was under the impression that they could show the bowl games though, but I am not sure.

I just looked at the schedule for tomorrow.........they're showing that Michigan State/ND game again :L

I hate to say it but I have to go with ESPN Classic for now, because I have these BTN games all memorized by now.

Also, what the hell is with them playing 8 basketball games every day. Nobody wants to watch a some bitchin basketball game right now dammit!

No they have not showed any at all. In fact, like I said, they basically just have 5 games they keep showing.

I think they have a rotation....I don't know how long the rotation lasts that they keep showing the same games.....

Oh, and Nebraska was on the rotation for the first couple weeks we were officially in the conference.......I don't even think the game was shown in the all Nebraska, all the time first weekend, but for the first 2-3 weeks after we joined, they showed the Nebraska-Missery game from last season at least 3 times that I'm aware of....

Also, per BTN website: it looks like Tuesday (8-16-11) evening 8pm begins the stretch of either the '11 Nebraska preview OR 2010 NU vs Mizzou until 11am the next day. So yeah, they really need to expand the programming a little...

Well I would say to start with they likely will not show games in which the old B10 teams lost. And we have no current history games with the B10 as a part of the B10. I do not think they will show us until we have played at least a season or more. Now why they are not showing some of the other games you all mention I do not know. But on the questions of just 5 games getting shown they must not consider many of the old GREAT Teams and games they have had worthy, which doesn't make sense. I think that every team in the B10 that the teams from twenty years ago would kick their counter parts every time. Its like the pederson effect. forget the past that we built our Great programs on the history starts now, cause we cannot compare to the past. Well then do something about the programs and bring their level of play back up, do not just try to erase the past and lower the standards.

Now this week they are doing something different. They break down 1 team per day (the Huskers are today by the way), and then they play 1 of their games over and over all day.

So today they're playing Nebraska vs Missouri 2010..............over and over and over :L

While that game is awesome, why not show that one and then show some other ones? I could sit here and watch this channel all day if they would show new games en sech.
