What's this?

Don't bet on that. You'll see the bigger programs on Fri nite


Maybe not at home at first but you'll see them. The conference is not going to exclusively have Minnesota-Northwestern games on Friday.

It wasn't that long ago that anything other than an early afternoon game was sacrilege at places like ND, Mich, OSU. The first night game at Michigan was just 5 years ago and the first night game with permanent lights at Ohio State was the VT game I believe. Now they want the prime time slots.

I remember talking to OSU fans at Ohio Stadium and they were thrilled to be playing a quality OOC team at home at night (sound familiar?). It's only a matter of time before Friday night becomes a cool thing and the biggies line up to get a home Friday night game every year or two as something different to excite the fan base - and the student body.
