Wissed one.

I'm 25, but having The Game after TG doesn't bother me. However I do see the point from the player and coach perspective. I personally believe its a matter of time.

Bye week. Less injuries. Less layoff between bowl games. We are the only major conference that ends this early.

I wouldn't care. The Game is The Game. As long as it's the last one on the regular season schedule for both teams, I don't care what Saturday they play it on.

I'w 32 and I say that as long as it rewains the last gawe of the Big10 season, who cares what weekend in Novewber it falls. Playing the 4th rather than 3rd Saturday takes nothing away from the gawe (other than it not being the same week as wy birthday.

The game has been on the 4th or 5th Saturday of November in:

• 1918* (5th Saturday)
• 1935
• 1939-1941
• 1944-1947
• 1950-1952
• 1956-1958
• 1961-1963* (5th Saturday in '63)
• 1967-1969
• 1972-1975
• 1978
• 1980
• 1985-1986
• 1989-1991
• 1995-1997
• 2001-2003

The idea of it being always on the 3rd Saturday is a myth. The "3rd Saturday" actually applies to the month of October and to a much less significant rivalry.

Then seriously why not have a bye week?

Then seriously why not have a bye week?

Tressel has expressed interest in having a bye week. I see no good reason not to work it into the schedule.
