The game at the Kohl Center was originally scheduled for 6:30 p.m. (CT). It will still be televised by the Big Ten Network.

No reason given for the change. Only a 30 minute change though. I assume it is to not overlap with end of Packers game.

That is the reason. Not sure why they didn't mention it in this article. I have seen it elsewhere that is the reason.

Hope the Peckers/49ers game goes into OT. Heck, several OT's. Just so GB loses.

I think Sunday could be a rough day for Wisconsin sports fans.

Well I hope they win the football game. There are some hawk fans that are packers fans too!!

I root for the Packers as well but factoring in their defense and SF's physical style that is difficult for GB to handle and it could be a long day for the Packers.

Also they're 3-4 at Lambeau in the playoffs since Holgrem left. For Rodgers and GBs offense, it would be better from them to play in a warm climate or in a dome.

Gotcha... And agree.

I'm concerned it may be a tough day for me as a hawk and packer fan.

Although we swept wiscy last year they defend their home court well and it seems to me hawk fans might be slightly over confident which has the possibility of leading to an overreacting disappointment.

IBAhawkeye is the man! Yeah, I've a bad feeling about Sunday. I do like that Rodgers did get a game to warm up before the niners and we actually have a running game unlike the last two times we played them. It will be absolutely frigid up there but I'd put money on the niners if I was forced to. Either way, this matchup is going to be a good one.

If it goes to OT, the kohl center will be half empty for the tip. Everyone will be at state st brats and that is what we want. A long drawn out nfl game that takes 5 hours to complete.
