ColoradoHusk Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Who knows. Maybe it'll be so irrelevant that it'll fall to the 2:30 BTN slot. Is that such a bad thing to be on that 2:30 BTN slot? If I were going to that game, I would prefer that time slot, and watching it on TV will be more fun in the afternoon. That's basically what I was eluding to. I would prefer that time myself. I would prefer BTN if ESPN is just going to sh#t on us with an 11 am 2 or U slot anyway. I got ya now. We are thinking the same thing. I wish the Big 10 weren't so beholden to ESPN and those early time slots. The conference needs to say "no thanks ESPN, we will put more games on our own network in time slots that are better for our fans". Of course, Big 10 fans are so delusional that they think these 11 AM games are actually "great ideas!!!" Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I suppose, just like how Iowa hates the game on Friday after Thanksgiving, because they never played on that day before, it might be the same for us. We tended to NOT have a ton of 11am games each year while most Big Ten fans have and are used to them. Quote Link to comment

We tended to NOT have a ton of 11am games each year while most Big Ten fans have and are used to them. What hurts is that half of the teams (including the big names of Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Michigan State) in the Big 10 are in the Eastern time zone. For them, the early game is at Noon, which isn't that big of a deal, and they are used to it. I wish the conference would give teams in the Central time zone a choice of whether they want to be on ESPN in the early time slot, especially for home games. Quote Link to comment

teachercd Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 God, I am going to try and stop in at every bar on O street that day! O Street appreciates the warning. Okay, I am thinking...Hit Brothers...then Sandy's...then over to Cliffs so I can warm up with a Kamikaze...then hit Main Street Pub...then, this I tough...Embassy (maybe)...then over to Barry's...then back down O with a stop at Bodaygas (is that how you spell it)...then off to the Rail... I could not be more excited for this and I am going Friday to the Minny game...I am more excited for the 230 start in Lincoln! By the way, I am one of those people that gets really excited for stuff only to have a huge let down. Quote Link to comment
girlknowsfootball Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 So pumped this is not @11am. This will allow us to bring some kids in for OV's. Just wish we at least got ESPN to pick it up. Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 @Huskervball: #Huskers Announce Time Change for Northwestern Match: Nebraska will take on Northwestern at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 2 http://t.co/S8Ypw8clJj We might not have a night game against NW football, but we do against their Vball team.

Read a tweet from Brandon Cavanaugh that the Minnesota game will be the first Huskers game since 2011 that ESPN is covering, so don't hold your breath. Quote Link to comment
