This was announced several weeks ago and isn’t new news, the noon kickoff not the whiteout.

Actually, with Fox taking the OSU/Michigan game and just picking the Bama/Texas game last week, there is a better chance we end up with the OSU game on ABC.

"BWI’s understanding is that FOX is set to pick up the game. FOX has pegged its national, marquee matchups for noon kicks. And, with the World Series set to begin that weekend, the network is unlikely to have its national pregame college football show Saturday morning lead into a World Series game. It also isn’t likely to move that pregame show, allowing the World Series to spill over into a college football game."

I can see that you have a lot emotionally invested in this thread. I just can’t imagine what you would do if you got proven to be wrong. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I'll be there either way. Not sure I'll be in the stadium, but I'll be there. 😉

Who are these trolls that are predicting and fearing the worst? There have been 'White Out' games in late Oct, and this year will be another. When I spoke with Sandy in April, she could not confirm but smiled when I asked about our schedule. Penn State is obviously waiting for the new AD to make his announcement.

What other possible game will compete with a white out ????

Here is the competing schedule for a night time white out --

Florida vs. Georgia (in Jacksonville, FL)
Miami (Ohio) at Akron Time TBA
Colorado State at Boise State Time TBA
Nevada at San Jose State Time TBA

IMO, Penn State has all of the leverage here. Everybody knows the reputation of the Whiteout and the impact of having it at night. You simply don't set the whiteout until you know you have a night game. People are going to watch OSU vs. PSU anyway. Call the network's bluff and have it against somebody else. If the BIG was smart, they would be helping us.

PSU has zero leverage for setting the TV time for the OSU game. It's not PSU's call, and the powers that be have contracts that enable them to dictate it. All PSU can do is move the whiteout to a different game but from a TV perspective that will make little difference. Viewers will tune in because it's a big game vs. OSU regardless if fans are wearing white. Fox would still get theirs either way.

Your math is wrong…yes, the World Series will likely get higher ratings than PSU-OSU…and regardless, Fox isn’t bumping the World Series for our game.

Yea looks like the site I chose was t very good. Saying that the The two are very close 6.5 mil to 8mil roughly.

Game vs game. Now did they spend a ton on the World Series. Yes

Right. That's not what I said. PSU has 100% of the leverage on when to have a whiteout.

Here's a ?????. Has there ever been a Whiteout game when PSU was under .500 at the time of the game? We could easily have 3-4 losses come Oct 29.

At least the first officially recognized game in '04. We were 2-3 when we played Purdue and lost to go to 2-4.

Probably part of Fox sports to place the B10 games in non prime time and emphasize the SEC for all the prime time night games.
