Iowa Coaches AND Fans ready to give up the Black Friday game slot

is it true that the B1G does not allow thurs. night games? i saw a tweet about that. it may have been discussed prior, but that really bothers me if true. thurs. night games are great for maximizing bye weeks. this is one thing that bothers me about B1G, and might be why iowa is reluctant to participate in a friday game, they can be too stubborn and entrenched in the glory days of the 1950's.

I don't know, maybe they have a legitimate gripe somewhere in there.

What would that "legitimate gripe" be, maybe?

OU would never go for it. MidGame Bob doesn't want any more obstacles in the way of his hunt for another national 10th place finish.

Move Mich to same div as OSU and Wisky to our division. Then we don't have worry about the teams playing each other a week later in the CC game.

Don't want any part of that. Move Michigan to same division as OSU and PSU, and I guarantee our division becomes much like the Big12 North. Most of the talent will reside in the UM, OSU, PSU (after sanctions) triumverant. We'd be in the "forgotten" West division.

You don't think Wisc and NU can draw enought talent? Wisc, NU, MSU can be 3 pretty talented programs.

To answer your question, no. Yes, we recruit nationally, but most of the talent base within the B1G region reside in Mich, Ohio, Penn, and soon to be NJ. We'd mostly only get a shot at the the talent that the 3 "power" programs leave out (since they'd all play each other every year)....And we ARE one of the "power" programs. Wisc and MSU are not.

I'd like the idea of swaping MSU for Wisc, but then Mich would have their two rivals in the other division. B1G wouldn't do that to Mich.

 
I get the student travel argument in general, but to think students would be flocking back Saturday morning to see their 4-7 team play in the freezing wind this year is silly.

Jefferson City, MO. Don't come find me.

5:00 and 4:30 but when you're traveling with a woman, MapQuest is never right. And I went to Iowa City by way of Kansas City. Don't ask.

Now, back to Iowegians. They suck.

Well, they do call it the "Show Me State" for a reason. ^_^

No idea. I didn't even read their arguments. I'm just saying, if they don't want it, that's fine with me. Their call :lol: I don't care much about playing Iowa, specifically, anyway.

I assume you are not a native Eastern Nebraskan?

Living and working here in this part of the state, should make us want to play them, specifically, so we can laugh in their freaking face year after year. Especially at work. Cocky bastards.

 
Looks like these fools have finally come to their senses:

@BTNTomDienhart

Iowa and Nebraska will ask the Administrators Council of the Big Ten to allow them to keep playing on the Friday after Thanksgiving.
