Man oh man, I hate the idea of a night game in Happy Valley again........

 

[Cornerback6]

I hope we rip through the Ninny Lions next year at night...would be nice to blow them out in their hostile environment.

Man oh man, I hate the idea of a night game in Happy Valley again........

They got that monkey of their back in a big way last year in the regular season.

Time to strike down the HV/Night game monkey this year.

Those glamorous intersectional matchups that made the Big Ten's non-conference games so appealing last season have disappeared from this year's schedules.

Ohio State won't be facing Texas this September. The Buckeyes instead open the season with probable victories against Youngstown State, Akron and Washington.

Rather than facing California on the second week of the season, Minnesota will play host to Miami University ? that's the one in Ohio.

Only three teams in the conference scheduled 12 Division I-A opponents, which is a troubling sign for a league that doesn't have a full round-robin schedule.

Michigan may have the most ambitious non-conference schedule with back-to-back games against Oregon and Notre Dame, but the Wolverines leave home just four times. Penn State, Michigan State and Purdue also face Notre Dame this year.

The biggest complaint about last year's Big Ten schedule ? the absence of an Ohio State-Wisconsin game ? won't be a worry this fall. Wisconsin travels to Columbus on Nov. 3.

The Big Ten schedule includes some memorable late-season games. The Wisconsin-Ohio State game, Michigan-Wisconsin skirmish and Ohio State-Michigan showdown occur in consecutive November weekends.
But will that late-season excitement compensate for all those early-season snoozers?

Skirmish could black out OSU
BY DUSTIN DOW | [email protected]

The Ohio State football team opens the season Sept. 1 at home against Youngstown State.
Whether Greater Cincinnati cable television customers will be able to view that game remains uncertain. The game's television status is subject to an emerging trend in sports that is driving up the cost of programming and limiting the viewing opportunities for regular cable subscribers.
