I'm shocked at the support here on Huskerboard for changing the black Friday game to Wisconsin (17 votes to 4 votes?). I'm all for sticking with Iowa. It's a border war, and part of a great year-end rivalry is the proximity of the hate. I'd be disappointed if they switched that game to Wisconsin. Something about Iowa feels right at the end of the season....
Tell me you’re pulling our leg? :huh:
There never has been any build up to the Iowa game that I have ever seen. They have tried too (trophy and all) but even if Iowa was great, there is not the animosity that has already been established with Wisconsin. I get the comment above about traveling during holiday weekend when games are at their place, but other than that, this game could be an awesome lead in to the OSU vs. Michigan game just as it was stated above. I think the coaching at Wisconsin probably even got better with their new hire so I see this rivalry being something long term.
