If Penn State beats Wisconsin and Ohio State beats Nebraska, the Nov. 2 showdown between Penn State and Ohio State will be a top five clash.

Penn State fans have a lot to say about Fox’s “Big Noon Saturday.”

Last season, Penn State’s two biggest games— at Michigan and at home against Ohio State— were by lo scheduled for noon on Fox.

This year, the same thing has happened.

It’s been official for months that Penn State’s Nov. 11 game against Michigan will be scheduled for a noon kick on Fox. Ok Wednesday, Sept. 27, Fox’s Joel Klatt let slip that Penn State’s Oct. 21 game at Ohio State would also be a Big Noon event.

There are some Penn State fans who are unhappy about this.

Home games Noon time kicks are good for all teams except: Iowa, OSU & Michigan.
Away games: Noon time kicks are fine with me.
“Big Noon” TV Broadcast is NEVER good

Kids naptime is 1 pm and the baby doesn’t sleep at night so I’d rather be up during the day then late into the night.

But it sucks for every other reason.

There are also some who don’t mind it.

When playing on the road in a hostile environment like Ohio State or Michigan, I think playing at noon / during the day is to Penn States advantage. Obviously better to play at night when Penn State is at home.
