WoodyHayes1951 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Only 12th time under the lights? That might of been the weirdest thing I noticed about the B1G. None of you guys played at night, Nebraska has played a ton under the lights over the years. We prefer to kickoff games at eleven in the morning No but really, part of it is that it gets kind of cold at night through much of the season. On a side note, Maxwell's kind of sucking at the moment. Weather is pretty much the same here as elsewhere in the B1G. So, take your pick. Stodgy oldtimers who fear change. Or pansies who can't take the cold. The whole weather thing sucks as an argument. I know these are amateurs but what better way to get ready for an NFL game than by playing at Night in November? They are going to play in Chicago,Green Bay, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, New Jersey, Foxboro,Kansas City, Philadelphia and DC anyway Quote Link to comment
Ratt Mhule Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Sparty NEEDS to win this game! The B1G will look so weak if they lose Quote Link to comment

I've lived in both plains and lakes states and can say that those on the lakes are significantly colder...at least in my experience. Anyhow that's the reason that the conference gives, too cold. It's a bad argument but it is what it is. Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I don't mind it that Michigan St. is losing because I'm so sick of the media talk of how great Michigan State is going to be this year. Boise is ahead 13-10 and they just held Mich St. to 4 downs and have now taken the ball over on around the 35 yard line. Agree on the media gag. That said, we still get to play them and the higher regard they are held in by the media, the better for us when we stuff them......as in last years total control. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirts007 Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 On a normal day I really really want the B1G to win for the conference, but I would LOVE to have everyone shut up about MSU Quote Link to comment
dutch91701 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Sparty NEEDS to win this game! The B1G will look so weak if they lose Sparty is bad. Unless they can turn things around from game 1 to game 2 and beyond, they will look like this 1 Quote Link to comment
Ratt Mhule Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 On a normal day I really really want the B1G to win for the conference, but I would LOVE to have everyone shut up about MSU So they can talk more about the SEC...? Quote Link to comment
RedDenver Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I have to agree with Woody. If MSU can get the ball to those WR's, that offense will start clicking. BSU is just not the same team they've been the last few years. Still a decent team, but Sparty should be able to pull away with the game in East Lansing. Quote Link to comment
Excel Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 On a normal day I really really want the B1G to win for the conference, but I would LOVE to have everyone shut up about MSU It seems like all the talk only came in the past month or so and it hit like a ton of bricks. Early and midway through the offseason most talk was focused on Michigan with some respect for NU, then its like everyone forgot MSU lost all that Offensive talent and started picking them to win their division. Anyhow I want them to win and I still think they will. Dantonio is a magician, he can definitely pull this one out. Quote Link to comment

It's a bad argument but it is what it is. It doesn't get cold at night anywhere in the Big Ten--even during the few weeks that they play in November. We're talking about games that are done by Thanksgiving--not the NFL playoffs. Quote Link to comment

Really hoping NU and the networks get some change going for Nov night games. Quote Link to comment

I can't speak for The Twin Cities,Madison(in November) or Iowa City but the only places I think would be very uncomfortable would be East Lansing, ann arbor and Chicago. Quote Link to comment

We're talking about games that are done by Thanksgiving--not the NFL playoffs. That would hinge on your definition of "cold." Most places you're usually looking at below freezing which at some point was decided to be too cold. That's Madison at least. I remember years where we'd get the first snow of the year around Halloween. I'm not defending the policy, simply explaining it. Woody makes the best argument for night games...mainly that they're already being done sometimes in the same states. I'm all for night games late in the season but to say its "not cold" is kind of silly. It does get cold. Not February cold but its cold. Quote Link to comment
