Yeah... super tough draw for a team that struggles after bye weeks historically.Don’t like our chances against UMASS after the bye week.
I guess Iowa will be the Whiteout. Difficult to have a Whiteout in mid November for Michigan. That was no coincidence in scheduling to save UM.
I hate this conference.

That opening BIG game vs Illinois on the road is no gift.Happy Valley Insider - New look 2023 Penn State Football schedule

What is the network selection order under the new TV deal? The draft order is key in guessing what game will be a possible night white out, and any big matchup selected early by FOX is likely to be a noon game. The good news is I think they get the first pick and will almost certainly choose OSU vs. UM, meaning whatever game NBC chooses first might be a whiteout candidate, assuming they pick a PSU game.I think theoretically WVU could be an option as well even though they are pretty sucky. NBC is going to carry a Big Ten game at night week one and I could see them trying to make a "splash" by having it be WVU/PSU and a Whiteout.
That being said, NBC is going to have night Big Ten games every week (except perhaps if Notre Dame has a night home game) so there will be night games in the Big Ten in November. So, it wouldn't completely shock me if PSU/Michigan is at night and the Whiteout.
But I actually think you are going to be correct and it will be Iowa.

West Virginia a good grab, but doesn’t offset just how far down the ladder the other two are. Sheesh. Delaware is very likely the better of the two. Of course this info isn’t new.That schedule is so boring on paper
Hopefully Illinois maintains what they're doing so far this year and Iowa/Northwestern are back to being good/decent
Bye/UMass before Ohio State isn't good
I hate the last 6 games all being against the Big Ten East
West Virginia/UMass/Delaware--do better (though that's not new info)
I'm not interested in playing WV as our main OOC though I'm sure many people are happy due to the former rivalry.West Virginia a good grab, but doesn’t offset just how far down the ladder the other two are. Sheesh. Delaware is very likely the better of the two. Of course this info isn’t new.
I would love to open that season against UCLA or USC at home or on the roadOOC schedule was pretty due to contracts Sandy signed. Krafty got punked on B1G schedule. He was pretty much told to “sit down sonny and shut up”. Publicly saying he was raising hell about opening on the road was enough for B1G to say not on this watch. How much you want bet that PSU opens up B1G play in LA in 2024?

Maybe we should have had better relationships with the other Eastern programs so they didn't exclude usI think it's more accurate to say we should never have said hello...because once we were in, there was never a tenable path out.
You could argue that it's proven a good move on many fronts, but for the football program, nothing has been the same since.
We were eastern football's equivalent of Ohio State and Michigan. But in this conference, we've been the red-headed stepchild...our presence resented from Day One.

Lots of things we could have done differently, right? Any time a program like Penn State doesn't get invite there's reasons--some petty but reasons nonetheless.What could we have done different? The basketball only schools were 60% of the no votes.
Just like Indy wasn't a few years ago either. Wiscy last year was a W but was a very tough game (as was purdue this year)That opening BIG game vs Illinois on the road is no gift.

Maybe Paterno should have retired sooner so we didn't slip
Maybe we should stop blaming the Big Ten for us lack of success and accept it's our own fault
Joe wanted a league he could dominate. It was doomed even if Penn State was on board. To survive it would have needed Penn State and Notre Dame. Even then we would have left for the money of the Big TenYour first point makes no sense. Paterno wanted an Eastern conference and tried to make it happen but the other schools gave a thumbs-down, which they later regretted. Years later the Big East was formed, a version of what Paterno proposed, but as a football entity it was doomed without Penn State on board.
