2007 Buckeye Road Games

Don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but on NBC news they just said that all the Buckeye road games this year (with the exception of TSUN) will be night games. (Minny, Purdue, PSU).

Fuck, I hate Happy Valley...especially at night.

I just saw this on Channel 10's news. I think it's pretty cool they are night games.

I concur.

the Minny game shouldn't make a difference since its in the dome, but the other two just got more interesting. i think after our performance at PSU 2 yrs ago all B10 teams will try to schedule a night game against us.

What about Washington? Did they mean to include that, or only conference games?

Washington is a day game.

Just wondering, why don't we schedule more (or really any) night games at Ohio Stadium? I've heard its about tradition, but it seems like crowds are a bigger factor at night games.

I think part of it is the expense/quality of lighting as well...they need to bring in the lighting stands which certainly cost a lot and don't really provide for the best lighting...I think part of it has to do with alcohol as well

I think that its pretty messed up that Penn State will only play us at night. The last 2 times (and the upcoming game) we've played have been played at night! However, whenever we play them at home its always a day game. I Just want to see us pay them back, just once, and make them play at night in the shoe'. I don't think it's fair to be honest but hopefully we can win and I think we can but It's funny how OSU has so many night games we have to play!

On a side note... I'm going to the Minnesota/OSU game!

night games

Good for recruiting, though, as long as we win the majority of them. There are 50 or 60 games on during the day, but only a few big ones in the evening.

Love to take some 5-star west coast recruits away from USC!

The network sets the time, not the University.

The university has the right to refuse the time if they wish.

I think we fall to Purdue on the road, not PSU.

I'd bet you anything JoePa had something to do with getting this to be yet another night game at Happy Valley

Isn't it always a night game when we play there?

I like us to save them for big games... like Texas 05 the atmosphere was great... I'm sure USC will be a night game.
