Football: Penguins-Buckeyes Kickoff Set For Noon

     Chicago, Ill. -- Kickoff for the second consecutive season-opening meeting between Youngstown State and Ohio State on Aug. 30 has been set for Noon
at Ohio Stadium and will be aired on The Big Ten Network, the network announced today.

    All games produced by the Big Ten Network will be available to cable and satellite operators nationwide as part of their agreements to carry the network.
    Whenever the Big Ten Network is producing more than one game airing at the same time, the network will split the feeds regionally among cable operators to allow Big Ten fans to watch the game with the most regional interest. In addition, cable and satellite providers that have agreed to carry the network will be offered the chance to carry the additional games via "overflow" channels. On Aug. 30, the network is scheduled to televise five games.

    The Big Ten Network allows fans to see teams regardless of where they live. Available to all cable and satellite providers nationwide, the network currently has agreements with Comcast, DirecTV, DISH Network, AT&T U-Verse and 230 cable operators.
    Fans should contact their local cable affiliate to check if the Big Ten Network is carried by their provider. The contest will be carried live on the radio in Youngstown on Clear Channel Affiliates 570 WKBN AM, 1390 WNIO AM and 106.1 FM WBBG.

    The 2008 Penguins will return in full force for fall camp on Sunday, August 3.

    Also in Columbus that weekend will be the Youngstown State volleyball team. The Penguins play Xavier and Toledo on Friday, Aug. 29 before battling the Buckeyes at 6 p.m. on Saturday following the football game.
