(2/10) ESPN to televise Red/White game

ESPN to televise Red/White game: The University of Oklahoma has reached an agreement with ESPN to televise live the Sooners' 2006 Red/White Spring Football Game. Kickoff for the April 8 event has been set at 1 p.m. OU Athletics Director Joe Castiglione made the announcement Wednesday. “We have experienced tremendous national media interest in our football program over the past seven years and it is gratifying for us to see the respect manifest itself in other ways" Castiglione said. "We appreciate ESPN's continued interest in our university and the progress of our student-athletes. Sooner fans everywhere are excited about the upcoming football season and this unique venture helps us provide a bit of a 'sneak preview' of the prospects for the 2006 season as well as showcase our entire university to millions of people across the country." It will mark ESPN's second visit to the OU spring game. In 2003, ESPN's spring tour was in Norman when the College GameDay crew of Chris Fowler, Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit were on hand to represent SportsCenter. (SoonerSports Release)
