So, when was the last time the Black Friday game was not broadcast by either Fox or BTN? Do we like this or do we hate it?

I believe I saw that the Illinois game in Champaign is a night game on FS1

That's been know for a month now, after the Big Ten moved it to a Friday night game.

The last time that Nebraska played on CBS on Black Friday was 1990 against Oklahoma a 45-10 loss and Mickey Joseph suffered a server laceration on the Oklahoma bench..

I like the early start time for purely selfish reasons but I imagine an 11am game on a Friday makes it almost impossible for many recruits to attend that particular game.

Historically speaking, the Black Friday game has never been a big recruiting weekend for out of state kids. With Thanksgiving the day prior, people don't really want to hop on a plane for an Unofficial visit.

Will get to hear the best college football song ever.

Nice.

I balk. MU/Ark at that spot is undeserved

That’s pretty much been the SEC Black Friday game for years. They will get the better time slot.

Is it too early for predictions? Asking for a friend...
