@ Wisc 7:30pm on NBC

10 years ago I would have already jizzed my pants for that 6pm NIU game.

But now, that feels like a nooner
 
I guess realistically I see us getting our first or second loss in the BIG Champ game and then crushed in the playoffs. Going to be tough, but progress. Maybe set up for a natty next year. My kool-aid is spiked but this is my favorite part of every season since we beat UCLA in the foster farms bowl. Let me have this.

man, how sweet it would be to be 9-1 or 8-2, ranked in the top 15, going in to finally crush a shitty Wisconsin team at home.

My prediction is a 8-4 record so the Wisconsin game, should we win, will be icing on the cake and get us to 9-3. But as it stands now I think our losses will be: Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Maryland. I think Illinois and Iowa are also going to be tough. And perhaps the hint of some turmoil at Minnesota gives us a better advantage in that game than I think right now. If that game were not an opening game I would have us winning. But with all new coaches and schemes, and a bunch of new players, I think it is pure kool aid drinking to think it is all going to click right away.

And because of all of these question marks I really think that Wisconsin game is going to be huge. I am personally glad it is at night and will be a big game atmosphere in a hostile arena. It might just ignite our guys to play with their hair on fire.

Purdue has to be 2nd from last in viewership, right?
yes. these are the dregs NBC was unhappy about being served by the previous B1G commissioner, who was not representing his negotiating power accurately

this is also why NBC is actively renegotiating with the B1G and why the media deal everyone creamed their jeans about is sure to be less than initially reported
 
Purdue sucks as it is, and then they go wear those hideous uniforms. What idiots signed off on those? Just wear what you did in the 90s/2000s. Yeah is bland but at least respectable.

Looking forward to NBC night games but will struggle to watch purdont.

Illinois beats us.
 
I was referring to NBC. I think they get 2nd or 3rd pick. Fox would one IIRC and I think CBS follows?
here's the pecking order:

FOX/FS1 get first dibs (they own B1G football rights)
BTN is prioritized (owned by FOX)
NBC/Peacock will broadcast 16 games, 8 streaming in 2023
CBS will broadcast 7 games in 2023
 
something to note: Nov 24th is black friday, and pennst vs sparty will be on NBC

meaning our friendly vs iowa will be on a FOX property (FOX, BTN, FS1) again, most likely
