Nebraska kick-off time?

[MoreCowbell]

What's your best guess for game time on Friday, Nov. 25? I'm trying to decide about driving over the day before. But leaving on Thanksgiving won't make me very popular with Mrs. Cowbell. I can easy drive over on Friday and still tailgate for an afternoon kick.

11:00 or 2:30. I'm guessing the later time.

I will be shocked if it isn't a 2:30 kick on ABC.

This. The kickoff for CU NU this year was very close to this if not the 2:30 game and I expect close to the same for IA NU

I agree that it will most likely be 2:30, with a small chance at 11.

Right now the only games already slated for that day on ESPN/ABC are Pitt at WV and Louisville at USF.

Last year the CU-NU game was at 2:30.

Louisville game at 11. Iowa-Nebraska at 2:30. The Backyard Brawl is almost always a night game.

Do the networks keep the traditional time slots for oddball game days such as the day after Thanksgiving? Or could we see something abnormal like a 4 PM kick?

Going by the tv schedule links I linked above, they mainly stick to the "normal" times.

I went back through the rest of the years on that site, which I believe are 2003-2010. Twice NU/CU was the 11am ABC game because Texas/A&M was at 2:30. All the other years, NU/CU was at 2:30.

I think IA/NU will be 2:30.
