Which Week 12 Game is the most compelling for TV? (night game chances)

[Kiyoat Husker]

Do we have a shot at a night game? I think we do. Aside from the two Big 12 games, not many of the other top games are playoffs for their division like the Nebraska - Michigan State one. Of course we will have to beat Michigan first, but the schedules should be decided soon for week 12...

Edit: this is excluding the Thursday and Friday games

The B1g won't allow night games after Nov 1st, would love to have one and that should be it, but ain't gonna happen. Fing Delaney

Is that a weather rule?

That prob has something to do with it, it really hinders recruiting though!! This Article talks about it

Delany said earlier this week that if both teams wanted the game to be at night, and a network wanted to pick up the night game, that there isn't really any rule stopping it from happening.

Won't happen, since the time has already been set to 2:30, IMO. If we beat Michigan somehow and MSU beats Northwestern, extremely likely, then I could see the MSU vs. NU game possibly being at night because that's basically for the Legends division and a trip to Indy for both teams right?

I'm gonna be watching that Stanford game--assuming it doesn't conflict with the Husker game. I could see USC pulling the upset. And that would really juggle around the top ten order.

sure not gonna watch the beating MSU, will put on the NU offense! Rather watch Texas get lit up!!

Here's a link to a Journal Star article about it:

Jim Delany on Thursday left open the possibility of future November night football games, perhaps as soon as this season.

Delany, Big Ten commissioner since 1989, said if both schools agreed to play at night and a television network wanted to air the game, he'd be OK with it, according to this story in The Gazette of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

"I have no agenda on it," he said during Big Ten Basketball Media Day. "If both schools wanted to do it, then I think it's good. Those games in November are interesting games. They're important for the conference race, the national race. People want to see them. If both schools want to do it and a television entity was there, I'd be full supportive."

far from a ringing endorsement, but I'll take it.

Why can people get this through their head Bye Bye? Jeebus kriest. This is like almost 2 year old news for sh#t's sake. Let's be honest, the real reason there's no night games in November because, what does the Big 10 offer in comparison to the rest of the country, with games like Stanford/Oregon, OU/Baylor, Baylor/Texas, LSU/Bama and so on coming up. The Big 10 isnt standing in the way anymore.
