The greatest game in the series was a night game...

We played one night game at home and one night game away during our 5 game winning streak over Iowa. The night game at home was before they put the new permanent lights in IIRC.

I always forget about the time of kickoff of that game. I was so sick with the flu, I missed the game. I puked all through the 1st quarter and slept through the last 3 quarters.

I don't think it will be a night game ever again. Both schools don't want students/fans drinking all day before the game and creating that kind of drunken mess of a atmosphere. Too much crap can go on.

I hate 11am games, period, but even worse for the iowa game due to how early you have to be in ames for that game. I know theyve said they dont like it at night, because of people drinking all day, but honestly, 11am just means everyone shows up earlier. I know i'll be in S4 at 5am to set up our tailgate.

At least UNI kicks off the season on a saturday night. Cant wait for that.

This sums it up perfectly.
The ISU/Iowa game day is my favorite day of the year, and when they kick at 11am, it greatly takes away from my enjoyment of the day. For a multitude of reasons. And that sucks.
2:30 is about the perfect time to kick this game.

I hate morning games.
This. Students will have to be lined up at the gate at 930 to get decent seats at all for this and, as a student, that really sucks on a Saturday morning. I would much rather have a 230 start

That's what I figured. Really detest dealing with that ****.

Yep. University Ave aka... Elwood will look like a parking lot at 5am. Bumper to bumper traffic both directions and it will have Highway 30 and I-35 backed up for miles. The only way to do it is to go up the night before if possible.

I remember the last time it was an 11am kickoff in Ames the traffic was so bad on University Ave. that people actually were turning their cars off and getting their camping chairs and a beer and sitting in the median to pass the time. It was brutal.

That's the time the gates open. Have to be lined up by 8:30 at the latest to get a decent seat.

So as of right now,

ESPN/ESPN2 - UCONN, Okie State
FSN - Iowa, K-State
FX - Oklahoma

You would think the Texas, Mizzou and A&M games will be on ABC, FSN or FX, maybe the Tech game too if they have a decent season

That's the benefit of having 11 of 12 BCS teams on the schedule. 11 games should be televised.

Bummer, was really wanting the 230 slot. Here's to having a beer before sun up.

I can't believe anyone is suprised by an 11:00 kick off... I don't remember the last time it wasn't. They do it on purpose so people don't get too hammered
