Pro Quality. Fan Perspective.
Around SBN: Has Kentucky Improved Since the Non-Conference Season?

[Buda-bump -KHD]

I can't believe I got this from JayPa's twitter but apparently Iowa will be a night game [8:00pm -ed] and NW will be an evening game [4:30pm -ed]. Most importantly, apparently there is a new B10 rule outlawing November night games meaning OSU-PSU will be an afternoon or evening game. SHAME!

[Update: So it looks like JayPa pulled the tweet, I suspect because it either (1) wasn't official and shouldn't have been announced, or (2) wasn't official and has been changed, or (3) both.

I emailed a PR contact at the Big Ten and received word that the conference has not yet announced any game times but probably will by next week.

A curious development in the whole twitter-is-news-beat-writing-is-dying saga. -KHD]

Lame on the November Night game rule

though really they do kinda suck, since it is friggen freezing out.

I think it’s to prevent us from murdering D’Antonio the next time he pulls the crap he did last year. As soon as I get feeling back in my toes, he’s done.

Penn Staters belong at Penn State. The problem with a lot of kids is they just don’t know they are Penn Staters yet.

JayPa's twitter

everything I never needed to know.

He’s a Red Sox fan, EWWW

He’s obviously liberal and follows Obama (already known).

The only other coach’s twitter he (currently) follows: Pete Carroll

Jay following Carroll

is kind of like Rihanna following Chris Brown isn’t it?

hahaha, good point.

I still woudn’t be surprised to see gameday there. I mean, the past 4 years they’ve been at the game. Then taking a quick look at other big games around the country shows the following competition:

LSU at Alabama
Oklahoma at Nebraska
USC at Arizona State
Oregon State at California

None of those are too crazy except for LSU at Alabama. I like our chances.

Gameday

Being a night game or not won’t affect Gameday coming. Though they often go to the site of the primetime game, that tends to be because that is the (or a) top game of the day. They’ve gone to games carried earlier in day before (or even on other networks like CBS).

Didn't they do gameday for the TX v. OU game last year?

And I’m pretty sure that was a noon game, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we get it for OSU

Missing night games

I missed the Illinois game last year -which was on my birthday, no less- to go to a wedding over in Ohio. So I’m excited to get a second chance at a Beaver Stadium night game birthday present. As a friend pointed out, it’ll probably actually be my birthday by the time we can get out of the parking lots!

Sorry, dude

But you need to DECLINE wedding invites in the fall.

If it’s your family, they should know better.
If it’s your friends, they’re probably Staters and/or know better.
If some bride tries to tell your friend/family member that they should get married in the fall, she’s clearly nuts, and it’s your moral duty to stop your friend/family member, as their marriage is headed towards a divorce sooner or later.

Yeah...she's an idiot

it’s my girlfriend’s sister. SHE went to Penn State. MY GIRLFRIEND went to Penn State. THEIR DAD went to Penn State. And I went to Penn State.

I originally told her I would not go, and she was stupid for scheduling her retarded wedding on the weekend of the revenge game. That did not go over well.
I’m still trying to plan a way to be “sick” and “not be able to make the wedding” and then “party my face off with people I actually like”

Having it..........

on Saturday costs more money………that’s why women do this :)

My buddy is getting divorced and that is absolutely part of his up front criteria moving forward. If the girl doesn’t understand there is a no tolerance policy regarding weddings on Saturday’s in the Fall……..then she is scratched off the potential list.

To the point where I told him I wasn’t going to attend the wedding, and was more or less guilted into it. I still might sneak up to BW. But yeah, Sunday afternoon wedding on Long Fucking Island. For who, for what?

And we don’t even get to take Monday off because (1) the Ladyfriend is a college professor and can’t really cancel classes for something like that and (2) I have to save up my annual leave for our honeymoon in June.

Atleast the priest and the guests were yelling out the score update during the ceremony…very classy.

My wife went to URI, we have been married for 5 years, she is just starting to understand PSU and our way of life.

At the NIT last week, we had some drinks with her URI friends at Stout, hundreds of PSU people from all over were there getting blasted and fired up on a Tuesday…they were a little shocked.

when i told one guy that i didn’t date during football season he thought i was joking until he asked my roommate. my roommate confirmed, saying she barely saw me during football season.

the only way i’d date during football season if i happen to find a single penn state boy. which is next to impossible here in buckeye country.

Whats.....

the reasoning on the November games ? Sounds like typical NE puritanical BS to me. I’m probably wrong though. Sounds assinine at first pass.

Also, reading Yahoo the other day they were talking about Oregon State trying to schedule a game with a Texas team so the Quizz brothers could play in their home state at least one game. They actually quoted Mike Riley as saying our people are working with ESPN to try and make something work, but as of right now nothing has been set up. So there you have it…………ESPN helps dictate OOC schedules. Ridiculous.

after the title loss?

I’d say university ADs are getting pressure from university presidents who are getting pressure from university lawyers to cut the shit with the night games, as crime goes up/public image goes down when fans have 12 hours to get smashed pre-game.

Just my two cents.

I agree...anything later than 3:30 kick off brings alot of bad press.

Plus, its not like state college is close to many large metro towns.

Our fan base has to drive 2-3 hours, drunk, tired, and late at night. Not everyone can get a hotel, it’s more problems than its worth in many cases. Plus many of our fans are older and I am sure they complain…and write checks.

Although I do like the 8pm games to watch on TV.

by SweepTheLeg on Apr 9, 2009 9:21 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

For example, the ND game was a 6pm kickoff

And because traffic is so craptastic on 322 after games, I didn’t make it back to Harrisburg until 3 a.m. and almost veered into the Susquehanna when I momentarily fell asleep at the wheel.

Night games are great for TV purposes or if you have a place to stay in State College, but that’s about all.

MSU didn't riot after the loss in the title game

there were ~1000 people celebrating in the traditional “riot” zone, but from all accounts (police response, news, students) it was a peaceful gathering, with just a handful of asshats that got busted for being asshats.

I don’t know how the news was portrayed outside of East Lansing, though.

there were "fires"

but not big fires, I don’t even think anything approaching a couch fire.

They weren’t gathering after a loss, they were gathering after making it to the championship game. I mean heck, look at PSU after the sweet 16 loss to Temple.

And I think the degree to which MSU lost (plus it was friggen cold out, and had snowed earlier in the day) quelled much of the riotious attitudes. They were prepared for a much larger crowd (the cop:“rioter” ratio was about 1:1)

Was great last year, not too early, not too late. The drive back home after a night game is aweful, you have to rush just to make it into a bar before last call! Call me crazy but drinking all day and all during the game makes you thirsty.

Anyway, this is probably a good thing, the Big Ten gets criticized all the time for slow plodding football and I’d like to believe 90% of that is watching the primetime matchups in 15 degree weather at night in November. The other 10% I’ll blame on Ohio State.

The Big Ten has the biggest and best stadiums in the country and they also have the best primetime night game experience. ESPN’s highest rated games have been PSU and OSU games at night and they also have hosted the most Gameday shows of any other matchup. ESPN needs those games more than we do.

I have a feeling Ohio St. will be like the MSU or UM games last season, or the Notre Dame game before that in that the game will start in the daylight, and end under the lights, which I am totally cool with. I’ll tell you what, those Beaver Stadium sunsets are a sight to behold (Imagine if the south endzone was still open…), and if we can get 1 or 2 of those next season in addition to a night game, that’d be great.

Now Just Because I'm Thinking About...

Ohio State’s finest, Mr. Dorian Bell and his cast of failures vs. Bethal Park in the WPIAL Championship game at Heinz Field. I watched the MSU game for the first time tonight on DVR, because this is what I was doing that night.

There must be a reason

And it has to do with money. It certainly isn’t Jim Delany’s concern for the fans freezing their butts off. That guy probably charges his mother to use the bathroom when she comes over to visit.

I’m wondering if there is some kind of ratings conflict on Saturday nights in November. Is the NFL going to start airing Saturday night games or something?

In other news, the Big East announces there will be no more Saturday games. All games will be on Thursday and Friday nights.

by BSD on Apr 9, 2009 9:22 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

No

But the fact that it’s believable makes it funny.

That was an epic one. I’m using it on every Pitt/WVU friend/family member I have the fortune of being with this weekend.

If you want an interesting twitter

Follow Bill Stewart from West Virginia. The other day he twittered that he threw all of his kickers off the team. Hilarious stuff.

His background picture is bad, makes him look like Charlie Weis’s hillbilly cousin.

on a non-related Jay Pa twitter story,

i guess D-Will showed up for a “surprise” outing

by xozte on Apr 10, 2009 12:26 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

My guess on the game times/TV

Akron: Noon on BTN
Syracuse: 3:30 on ABC
Temple: Noon on BTN
Iowa: 8pm on ABC
Illinois: Noon on tWWL
Eastern Illinois: Noon on BTN
Minnesota: 3:30 on ABC
Michigan: 3:30 on ABC (although some rumblings of that being a night game)
Northwestern: 4:30 on tWWL
Ohio State: some kind of wonky time like 5:00 on tWWL
Indiana: Noon on BTN
Michigan State: 3:30 on ABC regional

by speedomike on Apr 10, 2009 2:29 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

as been said before

Michigan won’t be a night game (unless you count 3:30 as a “night” game for Michigan, since that’s about as late as they’ve ever had a game)

by The JuggerNitt on Apr 10, 2009 3:33 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Correct

When I went to Michigan in 2007 my buddy, who’s a Michigan fan and got me the tickets, was all excited about the 3:30 start because they might have to turn on the portable lights in the fourth quarter. He said that was the closest they come to it being a night game.

I told him that was pretty sad. But for some reason Michigan is obsessed with keeping the game “pure”. In Michigan that means keeping the stadium crappy with uncomfortably cramped bench seats and small disgusting bathrooms. The only music allowed to be played must come from live instruments. The jumbotron is simply a tool to convey information like stats and out of town scores. No “pump up” videos or piped in music allowed. This way they can go to games at Happy Valley and Wisconsin or wherever and point at the locals who are having a blast and call the atmosphere “bush league” and compare it to a minor league hockey game. It makes them feel better about their own crappy home game experience.

Whatever. I’ll take the Penn State Whiteout over the Michigan white hairs anyday.

by BSD on Apr 10, 2009 4:15 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

yes, but there has to be a balance as well

I think there is a little bit too much pumped in music in Beaver Stadium, and I wish the band was able to play a bit more.

But yeah, the excitement is definitely more palpable in Happy Valley than it is in the (2nd) Big(gest) House

Re: Music

word is they are going to mess around with some house music this year, per RR if I remember correctly.

non-conference

I feel pretty confident that Akron and/or Temple will end up on ESPN or ESPN2. Particularly Akron (there’s not many decent Big Ten games the first week to choose from).

Just the one

The state collectively uses only one. In some parts of the state, it is worshiped as a god.

It's the 21st Century version

Uh, Coach? You could have Tweeted that with just one sentence. Do you think he’ll read this? Just the first sentence. The first. Only.
