Has it been brought up that the start time was changed to 3:30? (It was originally a night game.)

Why delay the inevitable

As of last week, the official OSU website had it has a noon or 3:30 pm kickoff. I'm pretty sure it was never officially listed anywhere as a night game.

Expect it would have been moved up to 8PM if MSU hadn't lost.

ESPN's dopey Gameday show will be in Columbus for this game.

Let's take a look at common opponents for this season:

MSU: 09/04/2015 Western Mich. W 37 - 24
OSU: 09/26/2015 Western Mich. W 38 - 12

Edge to Ohio State.

MSU: 10/10/2015 @ Rutgers W 31 - 24
OSU: 10/24/2015 @ Rutgers W 49 - 7

No comparison. Both games were at Rutgers.

MSU: 10/24/2015 Indiana W 52 - 26
OSU: 10/03/2015 Indiana W 34 - 27

Edge to Sparty, although they had to pull away late in the fourth quarter at home while we played at Indiana.

MSU: 11/14/2015 Maryland W 24 - 7
OSU: 10/10/2015 Maryland W 49 - 28

Edge to OSU. 21-point win vice 17-point win. Home games for both MSU and OSU. Also, we put up 49 on Maryland even while rotating CJ and JT. And Maryland's fourth TD against us came with less than a minute left in the game.

Note than our scoring defense is now #2 in the country, and have allowed a total of 34 points over the last four games.

Heading to Columbus as well.

Making the trip for the Crew soccer game Sunday, but no tickets for the OSU game Saturday. At least I'll be in the 614 to celebrate. :cheers:

I look forward to ignoring it like I do every Saturday.

Gives more time to prepare for MSU-AA

That same website I linked had it an 8:00 kickoff before the season started. Of course, I have no way of proving that. Oh well.

OSU opens -13

 

[Drubuck]

Hope it's a 330 game

 

[RB07OSU]

I honestly feel good about this one. Even with all their motivation to win this game, I really think we have had this game circled on the calendar as well. JT burns 'em with his feet in the first half, Zeke wears them down in the second. Joey Bosa makes Connor Cook rethink life in general. Bucks win by 17.

I'm not worried at all about losing to Sparty and I'm the kind of fan who worries more than I probably should about losing games.

All of my this.
