iamthenorm Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hadn't seen this posted anywhere, so I figured I'd throw it out here. If it has been reported or under another topic, just delete it. I for one, am happy to see the Huskers continue to play on Friday. http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/football/huskers-hawkeyes-officially-on-for-black-friday/article_36bdd4a6-fa10-5ba2-b31c-474ef2a22f9f.html Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I guess I really don't care. I wish that if they changed anything it would be the time. Make it 2:30 or at night. 11am, even driving from Omaha sucked. Lincoln was dead that early, college kids are gone, not fun. Quote Link to comment
In the Deed the Glory Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 11 a.m. guarantees the national audience on ABC. Quote Link to comment

HuskerNationNick Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I almost would rather someone else than cry baby Iowa, but I am glad we are still keeping this tradition alive. Its great for national attention. 1 Quote Link to comment
navysker Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 11 a.m. guarantees the national audience on ABC. Yeah that is probably true. International audience. I live over seas and this game feels like a regular played game where I can bbq and have friends over to watch with out it getting waaaaay late. I've stayed up until 2 or 3 in the morning to watch some games last year. Quote Link to comment

Its great for national attention. +1, I like that it's on Black Friday again, but I'm still hoping that maybe through the re-alignment we can switch the opponent to Wisconsin. 1 Quote Link to comment

The only downfall I see on that, is the time. I am sure they (meaning NU) want to keep it towards the AM for the National attention. From Omaha to Madison, its almost a 7 hour drive, 5 from where I am at. I am not much of a fan for the early game, as I have to leave the night before, but it is what it is. Besides that, I refuse to go to Camp Randle. Rather go to Kinnick and deal with Hawkeye fans, than some of those Badger fans. I have had far too many friends have a bad experience there two years ago. One of them being a very polite, older couple who got glared at and called names for cheering on Nebraska when they came onto the field. Quote Link to comment
tschu Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I'd much much much rather have the old 2:30 time slot. Quote Link to comment
huskerscott Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 2:30 game I'm hoping. Quote Link to comment
dvdcrr Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I don't like it called the hero game and I don't like leaders/legends. Arbitrary and aloof. Maybe this describes the nature of things these days. 1 Quote Link to comment

Count 'Bility Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 It's a border battle scrimmage. That's the main reason the rivalry was forced. Border wars are pretty much the them of most Big 10 rivalries. Quote Link to comment
