Black Friday preference

Im not sure what it is but when we play PSU it feels like there is actually something at stake

 
Iowa.

A nice stress free game to end the season.

and it's close, for those fans in Nebraska that travel to the game. Any farther and people would have to be traveling on Thanksgiving.

Yup. And have the game on BF is more important than the opponent.
Im not so sure about this. Does the casual fan really care about Nebraska beating on Iowa if they are hankering for Football? The black Friday novelty loses its luster if you know the outcome the day before. Against PSU winning your division could be on the line with a loss, regardless of them being in seperate divisions. Against Iowa? We cost them a shot at what? The Subway/Smoke Shack Bowl

 
Wisconsin, because I hate Wisconsin with a great passion and would love nothing more than to end the regular season beating them.

 
I'm fine with Iowa because I used to live there and it's fun jabbing my friends back there about the outcome. For actual football interest and excitement, I would prefer Wisconsin.

HOWEVER.....no matter WHO we play, it shouldn't be a friggen 11:00 am game.

Having Nebraska play on BF is more exposure than we'll get 4/5 years if we played Wisconsin on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We'd have to compete rivalries such as:

UF vs FSU

UGA vs GT

SC vs Clem

USC vs UCLA

OSU vs MICH

AUB vs ALA

etc...

Unless we're both ranked in the top 10, we'll be an afterthought to these matchups.

Valid point, but in that regard would we rather play onThanksgiving? Maybe not every year, but every so often?

Does it really? Because if it did, it would have lost its luster when we were playing Colorado.

Like everyone else, either Wisky or Penn. As far as the 2019 schedule, I am sure it will change again before then anyway.
