[NU Sports] Penn State and Bowl hopes

[mlinhardt at netzero.com]

I would rather not go into the Saturday after Thanksgiving and Fitz points that out in commenting how it is nice the players get to spend Thanksgiving with their families.

Personally we almost always go on vacation over Thanksgiving.  Now we could use Thanksgiving week as an addditional bye and play a game the week after that.  The problem with that is as season ticket holder the weather gets more iffy/miserable as you transition between fall and winter.

Dennis brings up an interesting point about injuries being up all around. 
With  teams playing 12 games now, the "bye week" that occurred during the 
Big ten season given 11 teams is being filled with a non-conference foe. 
Even the NFL has bye weeks which allow nagging injuries to heal and 
provide a break.  Maybe NU should considering building in a bye week mid 
season in future scheduling given we can now go later into the Fall.
