Only two 11am slots so far. Good. Worst time of the day to start a football game.
I actually don't mind them.  If I don't have anything else going on, I don't mind the early kickoff, and in Colorado it's an hour earlier for me.  I am already awake early, no use waiting around for the game to start.

It sucks for tailgating.

 
Bummer to hear about the Iowa game moving back up.  I thought it was originally a later game time (230pm/3pm) and that was exciting.  

 
Just noticed that the Illinois game is on Friday like WTH why, the B1G just loves giving us the short stick.  :bang
That move was announced weeks ago.  Not sure how this is an example of NU getting the "short stick".

I would spend $400 to see NU and CU play at Boulder or Lincoln.  I think that game is going to be a lot of fun no matter who wins.

Pulled the trigger on the Friday night Illinois game in Champaign.  Surprisingly we were able to actually get a hotel this time around in Champaign also so I'm wondering if there are still a lot of people who didn't re book after they changed the date or maybe there just not going?

  Looking like that will be our only Husker game of the year in person.  Honestly I'm ok with that.

If it were a home game, it actually would suck because it's virtually impossible to bring in recruits for the game.

I dislike Friday games because that's for HS football.  They really sucked when I had a kid playing HS and couldn't watch the games.
