So if I go to the game I have to wear a thon?I see references to "helmet stripe" day vs WVU and Spirit Day, Thon, on Sept 9th
I think you mean "thong".So if I go to the game I have to wear a thon?
That's going to be a tough one to pull off. Nov 11th is going to be heavy-coat weather.
Michigan is a Stripe out
Wonder how CBS will approach the production and promotion. It clearly was one of ESPN’s marquee games of the year.
Would be great to get a lot of build up the week before during NFL games and get some new people to tune in just to see the spectacle.
We? Naw...I'm gonna struggle getting threw the regular season at my age.We trying to make the playoff or nah?
Only Bob does.So if I go to the game I have to wear a thon?
I don’t think we need Gameday to get amped up for the whiteout but the three hour infomercial about Penn State that it turns into is certainly helpful.Probably been discussed already, but with the new TV rights, I wonder how many B1G sites will get Gameday visits this year. Like it or not, Gameday definitely amped up the environment. I've been to a couple of games where Fox or the B1G were on site, and you really couldn't tell the difference or feel an impact compared to Herbie and the boys in town.
Because CBS isn’t carrying a Big Ten in prime time that day; NBC is and they are featuring MSU/tOSU.Why couldn't the White Out be vs scUM on CBS in prime time?
Why wouldn't NBC choose the White Out of PSU vs scUM instead of MSU vs O$U? At the time of the PSU vs scUM game we could only have one loss or hopefully none but with one loss to O$U assuming a competitive game and O$U is undefeated we should be about #10 or maybe a bit higher. scUM will be #2 or maybe #1. O$U will be #2 or #3 but MSU may not even be ranked or not top 10.Because CBS isn’t carrying a Big Ten in prime time that day; NBC is and they are featuring MSU/tOSU.
On Sept 23, NBC is broadcasting a Notre Dame game in the evening slot and doing an (unannounced) Big Ten game in the afternoon, freeing up the evening slot for CBS to carry a Big Ten game. NBC will also carry a night ND game on Oct 14 and CBS will do the Big Ten that evening as well

...and I am not convinced PSU can have a white out on Nov 11th that is as effective. Weather is cold and "iffy" byt that time of year so while they may have wanted the game, it probably was never going to be a white out.Fox probably picked it first.

FOX doesn’t get first pick every week. There will be big games for PSU on other networks.The game has to be available to pick it. Fox picked first and slotted it at noon, because that's our future for all big games.

Both teams have to agree to a Primetime kickoff as B1G games are slotted for Noon or 3:30 kickoff. scUM routinely refuses to move game to a night Primetime kickoff when @TheBeav - that is why PSU never plays scUM in a Whiteout game.
Wasn't the Hack to ARob game a White Out?
'17 and '19 as well.
Fox has been the issue more than anything IMO.

That’s not correct. First of all, that approval only applied to November games at night not any earlier in the season. Second of all, that rule has almost certainly gone away as of 2023 with NBC carrying night Big Ten games every week all season. They didnt pay a ton of money to allow teams to veto appearing at night and get leftover options.Both teams have to agree to a Primetime kickoff as B1G games are slotted for Noon or 3:30 kickoff. scUM routinely refuses to move game to a night Primetime kickoff when @TheBeav - that is why PSU never plays scUM in a Whiteout game.

It’s a new TV contract this year and teams are no longer able to veto night games in November. I don’t deny that the rule existed in the previous contract.It hasn't disappeared and it is not incorrect - scUM preventing the 2021 game from being moved to Primetime is absolutely the reason why the 2021 PSU-scUM game was not named the Official Whiteout Game prior to the season start in 2021 (Auburn was named the Official 2021 Whiteout Game with a Primetime Kickoff prior to season - it was the first time in 10 years [2011] that duhO$U or scUM was not named the official pre-season Whiteout Opponent played in Primetime.).
Road teams had influence in November under the old agreements. It’s not completely clear (at least publicly) if that still applies.It hasn't disappeared and it is not incorrect - scUM preventing the 2021 game from being moved to Primetime is absolutely the reason why the 2021 PSU-scUM game was not named the Official Whiteout Game prior to the season start in 2021 (Auburn was named the Official 2021 Whiteout Game with a Primetime Kickoff prior to season - it was the first time in 10 years [2011] that duhO$U or scUM was not named the official pre-season Whiteout Opponent played in Primetime.).
Two stout defenses. PSU offense should be servicible. Iowa offense is putrid. That will be the difference in the game. Iowa won't be able to overcome their offensive ineptitude.I hope we stomp them into the dirt. I respect OSU as better program. I hate UM because they are arrogant when mostly similar to us. I despise Iowa, classless and putrid fan base with horrible chip on shoulder. I know it will be a tough game bc Hawk D is always good and CJF can get outcoached. Crowd will be ready
