Time for a little Kinnick Magic
My only frustration is that, especially with the night games, in years past (even last season) they would have had this game LONG announced. There was always a big press release (for at least the last three or so seasons) for all the night games, which would be almost weekly until early November. This waiting until a few days, even hours before the actual kick-off to announce the when's and with whom's is for the birds.

Welcome to the world of huge TV money; it ain't changin.
With all the ad money at stake, who can blame a network for wanting to wait until they know their primetime game isn't going to be between Wisconsin and a team that lost to Northern Illinois and ISU?
And what's the big deal, is your schedule that tight? I know if I plan to go to a major B1G game I block off the day of and the day after, and sometimes the afternoon before if I think there's a chance it might be 11:00.

I'm not enough of a homer to say we're going to win or even that there's a good chance, but Kinnick at night is the stadium I'd least want to be in if my team was on the road.
I live in Florida and work on Saturdays. Yes, my schedule is tight and I need to know how to set my day, at least the bits of it that are in my control. But appreciate you asking.

They were waiting for Iowa to do their part and beat ISU. It wasn’t going to be a night game if Iowa was 2-1 and Wisconsin 3-0.
take a nap and a little extra Geritol there Grandpa!

When was the last time? I remember them going for the Ohio State game in 2006. That game sucked.

Why would they? Who really wants to watch a 1-1 Nebraska team that lost to a bad Colorado (Especially if they don't have Martinez) team play a 2-1 Michigan team? Nebraska isn't going to be in contention for the west. The only thing riding on the game is Michigan's hopes if they totally shit the bed.
Debbie at Blue is at 11am CST on FS1.
Looks like the ABC game will be Stanford at Oregon.
Probably the B1G agreement with both ABC and FOX is that they both can't show B1G games in PrimeTime on the mothership channels.
