Along with the Big Ten Divisions announcement, we get the new schedules for 2011 and 2012. Not the earth-shattering home slates we were all hoping for, but Nebraska, Alabama and Iowa come to town. The only team really missing from next season is Ohio State, but remember that PSU hosted the Buckeyes in both 1994 and 1995. Also to note about 2011, the away game in Madison as the season finale.

Wisconsin goes from a home game to a road game too.
ReplyDelete2011 really did take a hit. But at least Nebraska will be exciting enough to soften the blow.
ReplyDeleteCome on Iowa, Nebraska, and Alabama; who could want anything more?!?
ReplyDeleteBrings back memories of when I was a student. 1983 we had Iowa and Alabama at home and Nebraska in the Kick-off classic at the Meadowlands.
ReplyDeleteOf course Ohio State gets us at home two years in a row. They get their own way with everything.
ReplyDeleteAlso, being in the same division with OSU not having that 2011 home game is huge.
The 2011 schedule is the only one that matters. With more expansion to come, the 2012 schedule will be redone again.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the Big Ten will expand again until 2013 or 2014. They may set everything up by 2011 or 2012. But the new teams probably won't come in until then. When does Notre Dame's TV contract with NBC come up for renewal again?
ReplyDeleteLooks like this means we have to hope MU gets good in a hurry, otherwise OSU has it easy.
