NW Kickoff

It has not been set yet. There are still three games next week that don't have start times announced, which must be slotted at most 6 days (I believe) before game day.
 
ABC/ESPN chose to exercise their 6 day option, which I think they're allowed to do twice a year.

The start times for the remaining games that week will come some time late Sunday or early Monday.
 
It will be 11:00..

My guess is 11:00 Iowa/Northwestern, 2:30 Purdue/Nebraska 6:00 Penn State/Maryland

The Iowa/Minnesota game the following week will be a 2:30 game.
 
Maybe I'm out in left field on this. But as today's football games get underway, I just don't see a justification in waiting to announce the starting times on these games - especially these three.

It used to be that starting times were announced by the end of Tuesday the week before the game (12 days out). That was probably close enough, as it gave the home teams enough time to prepare all the little things that needed to be set.

You just can't wait until the last second. While I won't be at the game, if I were, a lot of my plans would already have (wanted to be) put into place. And there is a huge difference in my planning for an 11 AM game, a 2:30 PM game, and a 6 PM game.
 
2:30 ; 2:30 2:30 2:30 2:30 2:30 1450 hour 2:30

I'm calling Jim Delany now, well this morning. 2:30 is the Best for games at the
Mecca of college football, Kinnick stadium.

It's been done this way for years. There has always been 2-3 weeks per year when the networks exercise their 6-day option. You just haven't been paying close enough attention.

Don't like the late games....all Hawkeye games should start at 11:00.
 
Itll be a night game. Why, you ask? Because this is the game that we have decided will be the game we bring the kids to. Lol.
 
I wouldn't mind a night game. I can see it being one. ANF card stunt to start the game, two teams that are in contention for the division, Kinnick is a spectacular sight at night. Bring your gloves.
