Why do these pussy's always make us a night game when it is in Evanston? It doesn't help their crowd after the first quarter anyway, don't they know that alcohol only intensifies suicidle tendencies?

Probably just b/c that's the only way the game gets picked up by anything better than ESPN Plus. You know they only play two games a year (at most)that anybody ever gives a damn about, and they still need a gimmick to get attention for it.

It's just fine with me that it's a night game...should start around 2:00 in the afternoon for me here and will lead in to the Hawaii game at 6:00 p.m. Football all day...

I like the night games because it is much easier for me to watch a game when my two little boys have gone to sleep. Plus, I can get stuff done during the day and still sit back, relax and watch the Bucks kick some pussycats tail.

FWIW on OSU B10 openers

B10 opener and corresponding season records 1953-2003(50 years)

Overall OSU record 1953-2003: 419 131 13 (.756)

B10 Openers
overall: 40-10 (.800)
record in seasons with win: 453 games 355-89-9 (.784)
record in seasons with a loss: 110 games 64-42-4 (.582)


So at quick glance, winning the B10 opener means we will normally enjoy a better than average year while losing is usually a harbinger of disaster. In 2004 it would roughly be the difference between 9-2 or 6-5.

For further reinforcement of this, here are the records for the seasons in which we lost our B10 opener since '53:
1999:6-6
1992:8-3-1
1990:7-4-1
1989:8-4
1988:4-6-1
1985:9-3
1983:9-3
1967:6-3
1966:4-5
1959:3-5-1


Now here is the part that throws it off a bit. Look at what happens when we start the year on the road in our B10 opener:

B10 opener on the road
overall:15-5 (.750)
record in W seasons: 120-39-5 (.732)
record in L seasons: 38-18-1 (.667)


The wining seasons aren't as good but the losing isn't as bad. If this pattern holds we would finish either 8-3 or 7-4 this year.

Take it all fwiw, but the numbers kinda jumped out at me when I started looking at B10 openers. I dont need any stats to tell me that losing a B10 opener to Northwestern would be a very bad thing.

The stat freak in me keeps thinking just one thing-they are due but please God don't let it be in my lifetime.
