We're jumping a little ahead of ourselves with that headline, but it's pretty obvious which way the wind is blowing...
News release from the Penn State Sports Information Department...
Penn State will clash with Big Ten Conference foes Iowa and Michigan in prime time during the 2010 campaign.Good evening, Mr. Forcier, welcome to the White House!
The Big Ten announced today that the Nittany Lions' Oct. 2 contest at Iowa and Oct. 30 home game with the Wolverines will kick at 8:00 p.m. and air on ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC.
Penn State and Ohio State are the only Big Ten schools with more than one prime time game on ESPN or ABC this season. Why the love for the Nittany Lions?
A Penn State contest owns four of the top five spots and six of the top 10 all-time among the highest rated Big Ten football games on ESPN. The Nittany Lions' win over Michigan State during the unbeaten 1994 Big Ten Championship season is the second-highest-rated Big Ten game on ESPN with a 5.4 rating.
A Penn State game also owns five of the top seven spots among the most-viewed Big Ten football games on ESPN. The Nittany Lions' pulsating win over the Buckeyes in 2005 is the conference's second-most-viewed game on ESPN, as 4.4 million U.S. cable households tuned in.
