Oh, I get it. It's a whole blackout thing in Columbus tonight. Everyone's in black -- the team, the cheerleaders, the band, even the fans. To me, a "blackout" game is the sort of thing that a mediocre program -- Indiana, say -- should do once every decade or so when it plays a really big game. Ohio State should play blackout games about as often as its fans should rush the field -- which is to say, never.
Michigan State is wearing white jerseys, green numerals, white pants, and white helmets with the traditional Spartan logo. They look fine, although I like the green helmet better.
We are the 8 o'clock game on ABC tonight -- the second week in a row that OSU has appeared in prime time. Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit are on the mikes. For now, I'm listening to Pandora. If things get close, I may go with Chris and Kirk.
