So I've been hearing that we have the second longest conference road-win streak, with the ability to match the longest of 17 at Purdue. Who currently holds the longest road-win streak? When was that from?

This info was in last week's game preview. :wink2:

Note - you may see some info saying that tOSU's second longest conference road streak from '74-'77 was only 11 games, since the official site published that data incorrectly this week.

Longest winning streaks, by team, Big Ten road games only:

TSUN:
17 - 1988-92, it ended with the 13-13 game which was, according to E. Gordon Gee, the "greatest victory"
10 - 1945-48
09 - 1929-33
08 - 1996-98
07 - 1971-72, 1973-74, 1977-79, and 1981-82

tOSU:
16 - 2005-current (was 15 before the Indiana game)
12 - 1974-77 (including the 21-14 win at AA in '75)
09 - 1966-69 (ending in 24-12), and 1978-80
07 - 1954-56
07 - 1970-71

Mich St:
08 - 1965-67 (National Championship Bubba Smith/George Webster years)
08 - 1988-90

Penn St:
08 - 1993-95 (1994 was JoePa's last perfect season, but they finshed #2 to Nebraska, pre-BCS)

Illinois:
08 - 1918-20 (National Championship in 1919, with a 9-7 win on a FG with 8 seconds left over tOSU and Chic Harley in season finale)
06 - 1982-83
06 - 1989-90

Minnesota:
07 - 1960-62 (National Championship in 1960)
05 - 1940-41 (National Champions both years)

Northwestern:

This game will not be on in my area, does anyone know any good live streaming websites. I have heard of justintv and might try that. I saw that Big Ten Network has live streaming, but I dont think they are allowed to show this game. Any help would be appreciated.

BTN has a streaming site, unfortunately it is only for people out of the United States.

Channelsurfing.net is the best bet, they usually have better quality than justin.tv ESPN360 will NOT have the game.

However, if you can get BTN, you will get this game. Its not regional or anything. Maybe find a bar in your area that has it?

I heard Dexter telling someone that he still expected it to be a couple more games before he'd return to the lineup. fwiw

I hope the kid takes his time on coming back so that he doesn't aggravate the injury further. The D looks to be strong without him; he will be needed most down the stretch against PSU, Iowa, and scUM.

With how terrible Purdue is now, it's crazy to think that it wasn't too long ago that Ohio State-Purdue was regularly an entertaining and competitive game. It makes me sad to see how pathetic they are now. The days of basketball on grass sure are over. Shame they've settled into mediocrity so comfortably rather than fight to get back near the top of the conference.

Still, I wouldn't sleep on them, their performance in Oregon indicates that they're capable of getting up for the occasional big game. They might be able to give us a bit of trouble. It's not like we blew them out last year or anything.
