Rantings of an avowed Michigan homer.
Stumbled across this on ESPN today.
Rumor had it that Coach Carr was lobbying heavily against the 8PM start for PSU, and I tend to agree. I'll take PSU at 3:30 over Beaver Stadium with the white-out and the lights. Big games under the lights just seem like an automatic bad-idea. Notre Dame '88, anyone? It's a recipe for disaster. On the road, hostile territory, under the lights... I have a feeling it could be a very, very, very long drive home from Happy Valley.
