Big Ten to play on Friday nights

[dollarbill44]

But we expect these to happen as NFL teams don't go undefeated. When OSU loses to an unranked PSU team, or App State beats Michigan, or Cuse beats VA Tech, it's actually shocking. And when that happens on a weeknight, people tune in when they see the potential for an upset brewing.

If the Jags are up 14-0 in the 3rd quarter, I expect them to lose, and I'm not going to need to turn on that game if there's something better on.

It's actually NEVER shocking when SU beats VaTech. Check the history books.

App st beating Michigan was as shocking as it gets, Penn St beating Osu didn't shock me in the least, I didn't think we were beating Va Tech, but it wasn't shocking.

Based on that article, it does appear that Rutgers, Purdue, IU and Minnesota will be on all the time. Sounds like a programming bonanza to me.

It would be great if a team that's not Rutgers can parlay the exposure into competing with THE Ohio State.

In Omaha also

This made me so happy.

Quick story that happened this year. I'm at the bar watching Cuse vs Louisville on Friday night, some drunk redneck Nebraska fan starts running his mouth about how only weak programs and conferences play on Friday just so people will watch them cause no one would watch them on Saturdays blah blah blah Nebraska is the greatest college football program of all time.

Well today the Omaha paper had a story about how for the next 3 years Nebraska will play a Friday night game. Welcome to the club of "Weak programs and conferences" Nebraska.

Can relate to your story...No objectivity at all around here.
