Duke-NU will be a night game

- Start date
After I read this, memories of the 2007 disaster came rushing back.
Hoping for a different result 10 seasons later.

Don't love the 11am starts, but we seem to play horribly at night. I'm thinking of the games against Ohio State, Ball State, Nebraska, Michigan and the stinker loss against Purdue. Does anyone know what our record is for home night games?
2004 NU beat No. 6/7 Ohio State on the last play of the game when Noah Herron scored a TD. I don't remember any of the night time losses.
If the list of home night games on Hail to Purple is accurate, our record at night at home is 7-13, including 0-5 on homecoming.

With no food in me all day except a half dozen beers, I had a wonderful time bonking badly in the heat during and after the game.
For any Brits that may have happened onto this board, Gladeskat's definition of "bonking" is not the same idiom as you're used to...
Love it! Play all September games at night. I'm sure the Evanston city fathers would love it.

I'm somehow shocked you didn't complain that you'd already started making tailgating plans or something to that effect.

Thanks for the info...looks like we're 5-10 since we starting playing night games at Ryan Field in the late 90s. Ugh.

It was hotter sitting in the stands at the Duke game that it was in South Florida.
In solidarity with master organizer FloridAlum, we were ALL florid alums that stifling day at Wallace Wade.beats the dog crap out of 100 degrees on the field AND in the stands like this past duke game.
In my opinion, the aftermath of the 2007 contest with Duke influenced Fitz's in game approach more so than any other.
It also cost NU a bowl bid.
