np_husker Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Anyone know when we should expect an announcement on the start time for the Michigan State game? Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 7-10 days before the game, usually not sooner. That's pretty standard protocol for this kind of thing. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I'm hoping for another night game [i LOVE night games]...but mid afternoon would work as well Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I'm guessing a 2:30 kickoff, especially with the recruits coming to town. Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 We'll know on Sunday. Quote Link to comment
tschu Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Big fan of the night games. More time to tailgate beforehand! 1 Quote Link to comment
np_husker Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 I'm hoping for a night game. This will be a big game and I think the energy in the stadium is better at night. Plus, it allows people who work during the day a chance to see the game. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 We'll see what they do against Michigan this weekend. They win, I want to bet the game's at night. They lose, it'll be in the afternoon. Quote Link to comment
dbetz23 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 As long as it isn't a 11 am game (which I think Northwestern will be) I'll be okay with it Quote Link to comment
icedavis Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 We'll see what they do against Michigan this weekend. They win, I want to bet the game's at night. They lose, it'll be in the afternoon. What is the reasoning for your prediction of the start time? Just curious. I never thought much into the start time of the game with regards to the previous week's outcome. Quote Link to comment
Treand3 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 NEED the atmosphere to be electric because of the prospects that will be in town. Quote Link to comment

They lose, it'll be in the afternoon. What is the reasoning for your prediction of the start time? Just curious. I never thought much into the start time of the game with regards to the previous week's outcome. ABC/ESPN want to put the biggest games in Prime Time because that's when the most viewers will be watching TV. Therefore, if its "big game" between two highly ranked 1-loss teams, then that may intice more Eyeballs to that channel. We need Michigan State to beat Michigan for a couple of reasons. A. We need Michigan to suffer a loss in division. B. A 1-loss Michgan State team and a 1-loss Husker team will likely mean a Night game. Quote Link to comment
Cornicator Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Our biggest competition could come from within the conference. There are two other Big 10 games of note that day. Illinois @ Penn State and Wisconsin @ Ohio State Now, Wiscy at OSU might only be a day game because the Buckeyes have 3 losses. If the Illini stay undefeated, that game could get the night broadcast.

Treand3 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I hope Mich losses as well, they lose and things come more manageable in division race. Quote Link to comment

I thought you had something else in mind. But that makes sense. Quote Link to comment
