New Years Eve at Times Square - 1989 to 1990 - from CBS! (via videoholiccollection)

Penn State may be trying to recover from its hangover due to a shellacking at Michigan the other night. What better of a way to cure that hangover though, than by facing a Northwestern team whom they have won the last six meetings against? Speaking of Northwestern and hangovers, skip to the 1:29 mark in the video above to see famed Northwestern alum Brent Musburger in what is likely his sloppiest recorded moment, ever. Pure television gold, I tell you.

Before you get cozy with the thought however, of PSU getting back on the winning track, Eric cautions in his preview from yesterday that there's a very good chance that winning streak could come to an end tonight in Evanston.

Tip off is at 7:00 PM ET and you can catch it on TV via ESPNU. Otherwise, you can listen to Steve Jones and Dick Jerardi call the action on the radio (Sirius Channel 113, XM Channel 190, or one of these local affiliates). Also, new year, same open thread rules: No porn, no derogatory comments that you wouldn't dare say in public (or to someone's face), and no links to illegal TV streams.
