Urban Meyer displeased with amount of Ohio St. night games on the road

[HuskerinBig10]

An Urban Meyer coached Ohio State team has not scored LESS than 60 on Nebraska.

2011 Nebraska beats Luke Fickle and Ohio State
2012 Urban and Ohio State score 63
2016 Urban and Ohio State score 62
2017 61?
2018 60?
2019 59? finally, Nebraska holds Ohio State under 60. Maybe Urban leaves before 2019 season

Oh, for sure. I'm well aware of why all of these games are now on at night. I'm old enough to remember when tickets for college football games were sold with the time of the game printed on the ticket.

UW has a significant amount of fans on the east side of the mountains (Cascade mountain range) even though that side of the state is Wazzu territory and driving through that pass at midnight with your ol lady and kids can be a real bummer seeing how its usually snowing going across those mountains. Washington state is divided right down the middle by the Cascade mountains. These night games are keeping fans from the east side of the state away seeing how they either drive that pass starting around midnight or they pay bucks for a Seattle hotel.


This here is Snoqualmie Pass and it's the main way to get from the east side of the state to the west side .. and vice versa. Most of the passes are closed during the winter but they keep a few of the major ones open year round.

Man..seeing these pics sure does make me miss living back in Skagit County.

You're free to stop anytime of the day. I like the night games (7:30ET/4:30 my time) as its great out by grill on a cool evening getting them at steak just right, and then chowing down as the games wrap up

What about the fans who have to go to night games and would prefer day games. To me, I believe the majority of people like to go out on Saturday night after watching football during the day.

After a night game I can't properly enjoy watching the Wolverine meltdown.

Just for you ralphie.

 

[Destroydacre]

Just checked the ESPN CFB page and Kirk Herbstreit's twitter and absolutely no backlash or even mention of Urban Meyer's comments whatsoever. What a shock.

Eff you Brutus. I'm calling it an Ohio State from now on.

Just call them Ohio.... the Buckeye fans cannot stand that.... the proof is that many of them will generally respond/bite on the troll and mention the Bobcats. They can't help it....they know it's a troll, yet they still bite.

LOL!!!

Dude......that's a photo of Japan... specifically, the Snow Canyon of Toyama near Mt. Tateyama! The snowiest place on Earth.

Here is a linky:

How to Clear a Path Through 60 Feet of Snow, Japanese Style

Note the single yellow line in the middle of the road as opposed to the double yellow of the USA. Also...click on the photo to expand it and notice the steering wheel on the right side of the bus and the door on the left side. Also notice the bus is being driven on the left side of the road.



@AlaskaGuy .... You can wipe the egg off your face anytime!

https://www.google.com/search?safe=.......0...1.1.64.img..1.3.551.0...0.cXm28ifbX8c <--- not a big deal. It's one of the first pics on that link when you go to google images and type in 'Snoqualmie Pass'. And ya that pass does get a shit load of snow and unlike back east, Washington state has real mountains hence the reason they close some of the passes in the winter. I should know, I was born and raised at the base of Chinook Pass.

Who you shitting? You're old enough to have watched games through a knot-hole on a privacy fence.

Why should there be? He was asked a question and he answered it. He made valid points. Whole lot of anger in this thread over someone simply giving an opinion to a question they were asked.

Why all the hate for the Bobcats though?? They dindu nothin.

It also definitely didn't backfire on any coaches that called OSU, "Ohio", too.

Gawd we've turned into a nation of whiners, complainers and cry babies.

DON'T forget the "Entitlement" part too...

 

[Red_Alert]

Urbs should be more displeased with night games at home.

How to Deal With an Obsessive Mental Preoccupation

 

[ckhokie]

I work on Saturdays and, while we have a 50" to watch games on in the sales office, I'd rather all Bama games be after 5 pm so I can cuss and drank while while watching.

Seems to be a poor lifestyle issue more than anything.

I do feel bad for folks who have to work weekends. I did that shit in my mid-20s. Even with good pay, fucking awful.
