Obviously a lot of people work the day after Thanksgiving (BLACK Friday)... So why not try to have the game after 5pm .. There would be a lot more opportunity for fans to see it live instead of having to record it and avoid social media, text messages ECT.. to avoid ruining the surprise of how the game turns out... JMO..End of rant.. GBR!!

Kickoff time for this one was set well before the season for this game (it wasn't a 6- or 13-day window decision) and it aligns with the time slots that networks already have.

I expected it to continue to be the 11am game as it has been before.. It just sux for those working that day every year..

I'd rather have it start at 2:00 pm during thanksgiving day dinner.
if we do bad I can leave early, if we do good there's plenty to talk about.

We used to be about the only game on Friday. Networks are maximizing their$$. No matter how successful we get, we might still get crappy time slots. They could televise us at 2am and we would break viewing records

Don't give the networks ideas. :)

I remember the PPV days when there seemed to be a conspiracy theory that because NU fans will watch no matter what, we'd be on PPV just for a few more dollars to be made while other Big 12 schools playing crappy non-conference games would be on OTA or cable.

Maybe if both teams had a good season for once. But the matchup itself doesn’t mean much to outside viewers lately.

I agree, what about Ohio state and Michigan if I were a fan of either I'd be pissed on fox at 11 am Saturday morning. What ever happened to playing it on 2:30 on abc, heck years ago it would be NU OU Ohio state Michigan on the same time regionally televised. It's almost like that game is becoming a thing of the past like the red river shoot out with tu and OU

So you’re saying when it’s not at 11:00 Iowa rolls. To the original poster, watch what you wish for

Black Friday games are scheduled right before the season starts..

yes .. I should have been more specific .. if Nebraska and/or Iowa are consistently of national relevance I believe there might be more consideration for improved time slots .. as it stands, the only program that has entered this game since we joined the BIG with any type of national relevance has been Iowa

The last couple of years they already set the Kickoff Time before the season starts so maybe they anticipate how good both teams will be on Black Friday..

They could. Or they haven’t gotten the ratings they have been looking for the past few years. I do think that 11 AM on Black Friday is different than 11 AM on a regular Saturday if that makes sense.

Per wikipedia...
Elizabeth Mowins is a play-by-play announcer and sports journalist for ESPN and CBS. She typically calls women's college sports, and became only the second woman to call nationally televised college football games for ESPN in 2005.

Ugh.

Actually, most of America doesn't work on Black Friday.

And this game involves a 4-7 Nebraska vs. 7 win Iowa team which hasn't beaten a Big Ten team with a winning record.

Nobody outside of Nebraska or Iowa fans will care to watch regardless of kickoff time.

4-7 and 7-4 has something to do it.

Further, FOX and the media want to draw viewers.
