[Churlish79]

Was really hoping for Iowa v Neb to start being 2:30 on the Friday after Thanksgiving..

If that's the case then it's probably for the best but it would still be fun as hell.

Without a doubt. I would like to see it but I think both administrations aren't keen on the idea. Just look at the 2010 game. There's a YouTube vid out there of some tool ISU fan dancing on top of a bus and hundreds of beer cans, empty and full, are being hurled at him.

Id say he got what was coming to him then! ha ha. And to answer your question bcl, My friends and I were part of the drunkeness, and it was a problem. but a darn good problem!

Well it wouldn't be a problem if those damn Clone fans would just stay in Ames where they belong

This. 2:30 and night games are the marquee games. These are good games to have, it means the Hawks are playing in big time meaningful games.
I actually greatly prefer the 2:30 slot to any other time. Perfect amount of tailgating, also tailgating through the lunch hour, you are still able to catch night games, the commute is better, and I just like it more.
I will say I also enjoy being at an eastern time zone game at 2:30/3:30 est time slot (OSU, Mich, PSU, etc.). That seems to be a pretty good time to start a game too.

yes.

I agree but would the level of drunkenness really be that much different for a night Iowa State game versus any other game? It's still a college football game in Iowa City with ample time for drinking.

.

The ISU night game was a mess. I'm pretty sure it will probably never be played at night again. At least not in Iowa City.

Nebraska at 11AM is in our best interest. Only game on that day, at that time, most likely national, worst case scenario, national regional.

We could get two night games, mostly predicated on BTN, and if we get on ESPN/ABC; also predicated on our success.

Night games are announced way early in the year, thus they are based on last seasons results and projected results for the upcoming season. I would wager that you will not see any ABC/ESPN night games for Iowa this year, at least not at home.

I have nothing to actually link to but I have heard stories that the '02 game was filled with a lot of drunkenness and debauchery before the game.

I was a student at Iowa in '02 and that tailgate was the wildest I have ever seen in IC. Lots of fights, people getting hit with full beer cans just walking down the sidewalk, people passed out all over the place. This was also back when the old Fieldhouse lot "the jungle" was still around. My memory is a little hazy but I'm pretty sure that an ISU bus got caught in traffic right in front of the Fieldhouse lot and had some windows broken out too.

2:30 is the latest this game should ever start in my opinion.
