White Out Your Life 9/29/18 SOC
« on: September 29, 2018, 07:08:02 AM »
Perfect fall weather here in Columbus.  Should rise up to the upper 60's before settling back down into the 50's for game time this evening.  Going over to my buddy's house, should have a pretty good fire going and be able to watch the game outside.  Not sure what sort of food to make.  Probably some sort of dip, but I never went to the store so I guess Id better figure it out fast, huh?

Obviously, this is a bye week for Big Red. It was much-needed after the bloodbath with Iowa last weekend. Iowa is off too.



Anyway, the UNL game next weekend will be under the lights. The following week UW is at Michigan, and that could turn into a night game too. That would mark 3 night games in a row for UW. Not sure that's ever happened before. I doubt it. 



Ohio State plays Minnie that day, and MSU plays PSU. All the other games are set for Noon, so the 3 games will be 2:30 or later. Is it now a definite that ABC and Fox each get an afternoon slot, or does BTN come into play? Same question for the primetime slot I guess. Anyone know how this works?

I was talking this over with someone. TV is driving more games later. From a sitting at home watching all games perspective, not ideal. 
But for a fans heading to the game perspective, is this better or not. Night games are clearly less special, but you have fewer 11 am games, which few people liked outside getting to watch Big night games. 
Anyone have strong feelings?

BTN would have to have a game (I’m pretty sure), but ABC and FOX don’t need big Ten games.

When I was going to every game, I always liked the 11AM slot best. Especially after I decided to no longer partake in alcohol before games. A night game made for a really long day at the tailgate, but they were much more rare back then.



As a TV guy now, Night games aren't bad but I prefer the 11:00 or night slot over the 2:30 slot. If you have things going during the day, the 2:30 interferes the most. And it seems like there is always something going, so, yeah.



Seems like ABC and Fox have been getting afternoon B1G slots lately, but BTN seems to have been getting them as well as night slots. And I stand corrected yet again this morning. Illinois/Purdue is not slotted for that day yet, so they too could end up getting a BTN afternoon or night slot.

I like the noon and to a lesser degree 3:30 K.O.'s.Late games are cheap garbage IMO unless it's the PAC after dark - that usually delivers

I'm used to night games. Been that way for years in Columbus. 

Mt Union is coming to town today, so I might have to head over there for a bit.

Hah!



No cook today. Heading to a good old fashioned supper club in Kenosha tonight, before the Whiteout kickoff. I love me some supper club. Good food and gigantic drinks.

There are a few too many night games for my liking.   I don't say that as an attending fan, but as someone seeking better game dispersion throughout the day.

Kids volleyball is set for Sunday now the next couple weeks, so that's good.   Hosting a party later this afternoon.  BGE will be put to work.   A couple 1/2 chickens and some smoked kielbasa.     Skirt steak and chicken on the gas grill for the non-smoked food crowd.    This is a 'candy' themed kid party,  'ooey gooey' party, to celebrate the removal of certain orthodontic (metal mouth) applications.   I see it as a reason to fire up the Egg.
