Tradition and college football. The two are hard to separate. The sport's longstanding customs are what make it so beloved.
So why is Ohio State wearing black from head to toe on Saturday when the Buckeyes host Penn State?
For one night, (a "Dark Night in the Shoe", to be precise), they're abandoning tradition. Yes, an Ohio State team will be seen without a predominantly scarlet or gray garment. Is that such a bad thing?
