ESPN thinks we are special with 3 games "under the lights".

"Every Big Ten team except Purdue will have at least one night game this season. The Boilermakers have to be a little disappointed after getting to a bowl game last year and bringing back a talented roster. Nebraska and Ohio State will each play three league games under the lights."

At least they have their priorities straight.

At least they have their priorities straight.

They know who brings home the bacon - and it ain't Purdue.

As the article states, October 27 is indeed gonna be a huge day.

So does IU

Doug Lesmerises ‏ @PDBuckeyes Close
Ohio State, Nebraska, Indiana only Big Ten schools with 3 night games. Michigan State, Penn State, Wisconsin each with 2.

 

[Bucky32]

They're obviously anticipating IU will have a breakout year. After a 20-41 record over the last 5 years, I completely agree.

Trap.

Antwan Randle El isn't walking onto IU's field anytime soon.

The first two are Indiana St and Ball St on BTN.

I wish BTN would schedule OSU's scrimmages in primetime. :(

I wish BTN would schedule OSU's scrimmages in primetime. :(

BTN would get better ratings airing an Indiana basketball practice next year than they will an Indiana football game.
