Hopefully Wiscy gets put in our division so we can schedule them for the day after Thanksgiving.Then we line up to play one of the other B1G teams. Iowa fans can not be this stupid. It has to be a few old timers, that still haven't digested their Turkey yet.
I doubt if the B1G will let this exposure, for our conference get away.
GBR!!!
pretty funny if you ask me.So let me get this straight..
The Iowa Nebraska game on Friday got a 2.6 rating.
Outdrawing rivalries like the Iron Bowl (with Bama playing to get to a national title), UCLA-Stanford (with pac 12 title implcations for both teams as well as Oregon), Georgia-Georgia Tech and Bedlam...and virtually every other so called rivalry game of the weekend save 4, 2 if not 3 of which potentially had national title implications.
Only getting outdrawn by Michigan-Ohio State (with OSU trying to go undefeated), Florida-Florida State (with Both teams highly ranked), the USC-Notre Dame game (with the Domers trying to go undefeated and play for a national title) and the primetime CBS friday game of LSU-Arkansas...
in a year where frankly Iowa's program is a dumpster fire
And they want to give up THAT exposure?
Exposure that could reap massive returns for their program for decades to come in exposure and recruiting on a National scale?
Are they really that stupid?
Please. If any B1G school is going to passively labeled a commuter school...it's the University of Minnesota. :-|"Problem is thanksgiving break for students. Most Iowa students come from all over the state and when they go home, they aren't coming back. Nebraska on the other hand; most of their students are from a radius of 45 minutes from campus, making it much easier to go back for the game."
I am almost positive we have the same percentage of kids that go home for the holidays as they do. That is a ridiculous excuse. Most don't come back? Do you blame them wanting to come back to watch their team get their crap kicked in because they aren't that good? Don't get me wrong, they have and will continue to get good athletes, but being one of the few games on, your going to start to get recognized and could be that deciding factor between Iowa or Iowa State. Nut up Iowa fans, pull off your diapers and quit being cry babies.There's actually some Iowa fans that realize how stupid this move is...so there may be hope for that pathetic lot yet.
And then there's this assclown:

And frankly, if the B1G wants exposure and media dollars, then they'll continue to have the game on Friday--they'll just put another school in that has a fanbase not entirely comprised of eunuchs. Penn State wouldn't be a bad idea...though if we get Wisconsin in our division after the realignment, the Nebraska/Wisconsin game would be a very good one for Friday going forward, IMO.
