Jon...I realize that Iowa-Nebraska is scheduled for the last game, Thanksgiving weekend for the next 2 year rotation.
Was there any confirmation that Iowa-Nebraska will be protected as the final game of the year going forward (e.g. the same benefit they are providing UM-OSU), or is that all to be determined at some future time.
Any insight?

By what Delaney was saying it sounds like they want to try some things out and see how they go. The most important thing for us, therefore, is to make this game and event so great that it will be considered ridiculous to do anything else.
Exaxctly what I was thinking. I don't think we will have a problem doing that.

I'm gonna love this rivalry. I can't wait.
BTW, did you notice the first (and for now, only) comment on that Omaha World-Herald article. Here it is in case you didn't. It's pretty funny, and ignorant...

To assume NU will have trouble winning our division is crazy. As you hinted, Michigan is a joke. They may never win another conference title as long as Bo stays at Nebraska. Iowa is never good 2 years in a row. Heck, neither is Penn St. Nebraska is just beginning another dynasty, and already has (and will have) the best defense in America. It's possible those 2 road games at Michigan and Penn St. could be against losing teams. Yes, there is the possibility of a very tough schedule, but I think those Big 10 schools are the ones shaking with "Nebraska" on their schedule every year.

i think if both schools like it and want to keep it it will stick.

Jon, any discussion about that game being on Black Friday? With the three-headed monster of big ten games that weekend and no night games in November, I'd think one of those games would need to move to Friday(wouldn't think big ten would want to compete them against each other for ratings), did you hear or have any thoughts on that?

Agreed. We need to do this big!!! Best part of the new Big Ten is this rivalry. We need to make sure the nation knows this as well...

That is a great article Jon has linked from the WORLD-HERALD. This quote from the writer really says a lot in the comparison of which conference is better. Just ask what the fans in Lincoln are saying after they've now seen their new BT lineup.
There’s sure to be some knee-slapping yucks going on in the Big 12 today. They’ll want to see Nebraska suffer. If so, that raises the question: if you think Nebraska got a bad deal, do you still believe the Big 12 is tougher than the Big Ten? That’s a tough sell today in Lincoln, Neb.

i honestly don't think it will take long for the nation to take notice. IF both teams can continue to play at a top level, this game will have a huge impact on the big 10 by deciding who goes to the big 10 championship game. thus making it of national importance

I definitely agree, I think over the next two years they will see how important this game is to both schools and fans. And would be foolish to ever move it!

Look i understand the pride in being a husker fan and drinking the kool aid. But any husker fan who doesn't think next years schedule is going to be a beast is a fool indeed.
You have to throw in Wisky and PSU there too.
Last Weekend all of the Big Six play each other. Delaney knows marketing.

Doesn't every fan base have an inflated feeling about their team?
Granted Iowa (this year) and Nebraska (always) might be a little more inflated.
