Saunders Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 The game looks to be aired on the BTN. When ESPN/ABC announced their seven games selected for primetime they said 34 additional Saturday games would air on ABC and ESPN. Keyword is Saturday so I'm assuming the BTN will air the Iowa/Nebraska game. They only announced primetime (night games) so far. The rumor is that it's going to be a nooner (11 cst) on ABC.

Danny Bateman Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Coming from Iowa, I have a ton of friends that are Hawkeye fans back home. And I've only been gone for school for a year, so it's not like we've lost touch. I'm soooooo looking forward to this game, with the only ones I anticipate more being Ohio State and Wisconsin. Little tidbit that I had to look up to shut up some Iowa fans a few years ago: For those who don't remember, the last time we played the Hawkeyes was 2000, and the Skers prevailed to the tune of 42-13. Good for some pregame chatter if any Hawkeyes pipe up... Quote Link to comment

bsbch Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 It's a sure thing to be picked up by network. There is nothing else on that day. Even if both teams are 0-8, they will still be the tallest midgets...... Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 This is pretty simple. FORCE them to give it a prime slot. They're not going to lock this game in for a while. They'll keep the 2:30 slot open and put the best team(s) in that game. If we are ranked and a contender, we'll get the best spot available. Remember they're all about who will earn them the most money. Quote Link to comment

Winning will take care of so many things. Quote Link to comment
