Will also show if the early practices help with sluggish performance in 11am games
An 11:00 start central time means a noon start in Michigan. And that is a good thing. Michigan fans are not known as the loudest, so an earlier start usually means that the noise level will be even less.
This. I like mid afternoon games too. Best time for the players, for fans (time to party before game and time to commute home after), and for getting recruits here.I prefer 2:30 games but I like the idea of playing Michigan early in the day instead of at night..
Wisconsin-Iowa wouldve still got the nod.This is good. Had NU beaten CU this game would have likely been in primetime. Although Michigan lost to Notre Dame already, so maybe not.
Wisconsin-Iowa wouldve still got the nod.
Respectfully disagree. Not a factor imo- the favorite and perceived top challenger in the West in 2018(and the last many years) trump history and question marks in this specific season.Not if both would have been unbeaten.
Why: All Time wins
Michigan-944
Nebraska 893
Wisconsin-699
Iowa-644
I also respectfully disagree with you. An undefeated Nebraska vs. an undefeated Michigan - two of the winningest all time programs in history - Scott Frost vs. Jim Harbaugh at the Big House with both teams being ranked (NU would likely be in the Top 25 if they were unbeaten) would absolutely get the primetime nod over Wisconsin-Iowa.Respectfully disagree.

The excitement we (my Lincoln) have as fans and living on the prairie doesn’t translate elsewhere just yet.

And that's no disrespect to those schools. It's a simple ratings decision. More eyes across the country would be on TVs/devices to watch NU-UM than Wisky-Iowa in that situation.
Wisconsin-Iowa is more regional. Nebraska-Michigan would have more national appeal if they were both undefeated. Yes, names matter.
I understand the perspective. At this point in time the bloom has faded in national appeal arguments until its earned back. I know that’s not nessesarily what we think here. But, it’s the reality outside of our ‘region’.I also respectfully disagree with you.

Sorry, no. Wisconsin is #6 in the country going into the same stadium that tOSU got shelled last year. #19 Michigan vs unranked Nebraska would not have beaten it out.I also respectfully disagree with you.

We had this discussion in a thread in July but I think it’s worth saying again. I think Nebraska fans grossly underestimate Iowa’s draw. I linked to a ratings website and Iowa has been involved in some huge rated games. Iowa/Wisconsin is usually highly rated. The Hawks have been out viewing Nebraska games for the last half decade.I also respectfully disagree with you.

I love 11am starts. Just enough time to run to our weekly farmer's market to grab something to snack on, unfurl the flag and settle in for a 9:00 am West Coast starting time. Gives me enough time to go play golf afterwards.
Why would you care what Husker fans, on their own board, think about iowa. Jeezus, your obsession with Nebraska is pathetic. The way you beg for attention and approval on here is just plain sad. You're like a crazy-assed stalker, just mention iowa and he comes runnin. Seriously, get a life.We had this discussion in a thread in July but I think it’s worth saying again.

With that said, the last time Nebraska/Michigan played, it was highly rated so your point on this game getting views is correct. But Iowa is no slouch when it comes to getting eye balls. Especially against top 5 teams on prime time.

I agree. SW has been civil and hasn't stirred the pot lately.I think he is actually being cool about it, and yes sometimes I think we do underestimate the rating that Iowa draws. Personally I feel if we were 2-0 and Michigan beats ND, we might be in that slot, but you never know. That Wisky/Iowa game will be a good game, and Kinnick at night is rough. I don't think Wisconsin is as good as in years past, and so Iowa could definitely win and could win big. Will be a fun game to watch.

Last season Iowa/Wisconsin was not a good game, but it was fun to watch. I expect more of the same from that game this season.I think he is actually being cool about it, and yes sometimes I think we do underestimate the rating that Iowa draws.

Is this real life?IMO, if Nebraska and Michigan were undefeated they would be playing at night. I love having Nebraska in the BIG and I believe you guys got your guy! I have nothing but respect for your program! Good luck this year and beat Meetchicken!

You're too stupid for participation in this logical discussion.
It was a splitting image of the Nebraska/Wisconsin game. Close game with Wisconsin running away with it late. The scores even ended up being almost the same. A final score that was pretty abnormal for an Iowa/Wisconsin game. I expect the game next week will be as close as normal. Pretty excited about it.Last season Iowa/Wisconsin was not a good game, but it was fun to watch. I expect more of the same from that game this season.
Thick with irony.You're too stupid for participation in this logical discussion.
I don’t think two unranked teams would get national attention. Do you think folks in Nebraska and Michigan want to watch FSU vs NC State or something like that this year, not very likely.What team are you fan of my friend?? I seen you called some people out in a recent post. So I payed attention to all you recent activities and I have seen you been very anti Husker in almost every think you post about or respond too. You disliked the Husker fans complaining to each other, on a Husker board about the dirty douche bag player number 44 from Colorado, you have no problems predicting us to lose every game that gives us a run, you don’t think the Huskers should be getting the National attention since we are unranked and playing an unranked Michigan team...and so on. I believe your true colors are starting to show my man...now real talk. What team are you REALLY a fan of. Enough trolling and time to man up.

He’s gonna ban me for staying his post was ironic imo? Whatever, that seems pretty mild but if it happens it happens I guess.You don't tug on Superman"s cape, You don't spit in the wind, You don't pull the mask of the Ole Lone Ranger and you don't mess around with Cornicator.
Nice knowing you
We weren’t watching the same Wisconsin vs. Iowa game if this is truly your view, I’ll post the stat line for you. Probably you’re just trolling with that nonsense. I know Iowa fan hates stats and facts, but stats and facts don’t lie. Cut and paste didn’t turn out too good, here are the highlights Iowa - 5 first downs, 0 3rd down conversions and 66 total yards.It was a splitting image of the Nebraska/Wisconsin game.
