If OU is back on the schedule it will not be black friday.

Thought about it a bunch before responding...and if A&M wanted to schedule Nebraska on that day, I'm all for it.

That shit would be boss.

It would help our recruiting down there.

Just move a B1G game into early season, schedule two noncon home game gimmes. A&M permanently takes the place of the good noncon game.

Don't know what happens if b1g gets sta sta stupid and goes to 9 conference games tho.

I agree D3 to be the best you have to beat the best Iowho???? Iowa doesnt even need to be in the conference. they bring nothing. Wrestling yes. All other sports no.

Eh thats not really fair. Iowa has finished in the top 8 of the BCS in 4 of the last 10 years, they have a traditional basketball program ( top 10 all time according to ESPN) and yes the greatest wrestling program of all time. Hell even Iowa golf and tennis are really solid. Iowa is certainly not a GREAT athletic program but they are light years ahead of some of the other teams in the B10.

Attendance probably has something to do with it.

This is all hypothetical B.S. isn't it?

Iowa only committed to playing on Fridays in 2011 and 2012.

“It’s exciting that at least for four years that we’re going to play Nebraska as the last game of the year,” Barta said. “We’ve committed to two years on Friday to see how it goes. My assumption is that it’s going to go well. If it does, my guess is that (Nebraska Athletics Director) Tom Osborne and I will come together and say should we continue to doing it on Friday?

“For now it’s two years on Friday for sure. It will be the last game of the year. The two years beyond it, whether or not its Friday or Saturday, is yet to be determined.”
Iowa-Nebraska set for Saturday in 2013, 2014 but will that change? | TheGazette

Iowa's schedule has 29/30 for 2013, and 28/29 for 2014

Nebraska's schedule says Sat Nov 30th for 2013, and Sat Nov 29th for 2014

Not a doubt in my mind Penn St will be all over this opportunity.

IF the B1G would let the 2 schools play the last game of the season instead of forcing Wisky on us to end every year. I know most PSU fans would absolutely love to play the Huskers for our season ending game, not sure how keen they'd be on Friday after Thanksgiving, but I'd find it interesting and better than someone less appealing on a Saturday. Tired of B1G trying to force rivalry games on us. First it was MSU, now we seem to play Wisky to end our year, I think Nebraska makes much more sense. While we haven't played every year, there is some history with some high stakes games and its 2 of the most historic programs in the NCAA. Also always enjoy when the Huskers visit Happy Valley, great fans to interact with and I will definitely make that road trip soon, have heard great things.

Would love to play Penn State the day after thanksgiving, it would likely keep visiting fans numbers low though, which is ok with me...

Apparently both schools have agreed to move the game back to Fridays in 2013/2014. It just needs to be approved by the B1G.

The schedules do not reflect any change yet.

Don't be surprised if Iowa beats Nebraska in 2013. Iowa almost beat us last year with their crappy ass team.
