FC: PSU vs OSU, Noon on Fox…..
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
Looking forward to this like a prostate exam performed by someone with hands the size of Shaq’s.
Worse. In one way or another that exam is over in less than 10 seconds.
Kickoff at 12:07
Game out of reach by 12:27

Michigan was that prostate exam. tOSU will be the prostate biopsy.
Three undefeated match-ups today.
Two lived up to and exceeded all expectations. Both underdogs won, one on the final play, one in two overtimes.
The third was a beat down of epic proportions!

You must be including a 10 minute stoppage in play due to an injury or reply review
You’re a very strange individual with really poor taste when it comes to musical preferences.
That song is more optimistic than 95% of this board, including you. ESPECIALLY including you. Now, go find some imaginary things to attack Franklin about ... again ...
We win today and that game is a whiteout. We got smoked and we're playing the ho-hum we suck noon express ride to hell (again).
And hey... prove me wrong... that's perfectly fine. Doubt it happens, but I would happily eat crow just to beat the 'eyes.
Wife asked how much this game meant to me... well, says I... I would trade the phillies playing in the title game (for this year and years to come) to have won at AA. Today.

I am going to interpret those comments as you believing that if Penn State had won yesterday, then the Ohio state game would have been a night game with the white out. Instead, because we lost, they are playing at noon.
Please tell me that I misinterpreted your statement and you are really not that clueless?
James, time to visit the witch doctor and learn how to really love your players and offset your truly miserable coaching! Maybe we get 2 first downs in the first half!
ooh eeh ooh ahh ah ...
ooh eeh ooh ahh ah ...
Actually I guess I am... I'm presuming from your comment that the night is already scheduled (presuming MLB) and of course, no way we're a night game under those circumstances. I seem to recall that until yesterday the game was TBD and now is scheduled at the worst possible football watching time. I'm also guessing I'm mistaken in all that, cuz it sounds like you know facts i don't. As such, please fill us in. TIA. [Not being snide... I really don't know the facts.]
I apologize for my last comment, it came across more harshly than I intended.
The tv situation is determined by a selection process involving FOX and ABC alternating first choice of games on each weekend throughout the season. FOX has the first choice and they always choose the weekend of the Ohio State/Michigan game. FOX puts their game in the 12:00 noon slot.
ABC has the second choice and always puts their game in the 7:30 prime time slot. Most years ABC chooses the weekend of the biggest PSU home game (which is almost always OSU or UM in alternating years). That becomes the white out game. Last year was the exception when ABC chose the Auburn/PSU weekend with their second selection, hence the whiteout.
This year, FOX chose the OSU/UM weekend with their first pick. ABC then chose the Notre Dame - Ohio State weekend with the second pick which became their 7:30 pm game that first weekend.
That put FOX with the third pick and they chose the PSU/OSU weekend with the that pick, thus pretty much guaranteeing the noon kick off because FOX always puts their big game at noon.
It didnt matter whether PSU won or lost yesterday. I guess it was "officially" announced last week that the OSU game would be a noon kick, but it was pretty much understood by all three parties (FOX, PSU, and OSU) that the game would be a noon kick since sometime last spring or summer.
So, when ABC chose the weekend of 10/22 to have the first selection that day, it was pretty much a lock that would be the whiteout at 7:30 against MN.
If we show up like we did yesterday it’ll be that bad for sure.
And, yet, he found something completely unfounded to whine about ... and after he was proven wrong ... it didn't stop him. Shocking to no one. Once the whinefest starts, it never stops.
