The bigger question is Iowa going to have a let down against us after an intense conference rivalry game vs. Rutgers the week before?

I'd rather they come for Texas game. Hopefully we're a top 5 match up that's too good to pass up.
FIFY—after both beating OU. With Texas being the lower rated team that Saturday.

7 pm openers against whatever FCS school we play is great. What happened last year likely won’t happen again in our lifetimes.
I’d be fine with not playing another FCS team again in our lifetime. Especially bored with UNI.

3 PM kickoff, 3PM KICK ASS. Baby brother wakes up from a nap to get his butt whipped. By the way, a friendly reminder, don't sell any extra tickets to Tavern Hoks. Keep them out of Jack Trice.

The Drake game (that didn't actually happen anyway) isn't a very good example of that.

Man, this has got me thinking about the Drake game again. Between the broadcast and the nearly losing, that was the most unenjoyable football win I've ever witnessed. Just a terrible 3 hours, I was literally sick to my stomach for most of it.

Yes, it's real. Not sure why my statement qualified for the typical, tiresome, one-note cydkar snark. I qualified it with "as an out of state fan", meaning I'm not going to be there. It's a holiday weekend. I have plenty of options that Saturday, but my loyalty to ISU keeps me at home waiting to watch a ****** broadcast against a ****** opponent. If the game is at 5 CT, I get to have my cake and eat it too.
You aren't going to be there yet are whining about the kickoff time? Give me a break.

I honestly didn't think it was real. No snark at all. But now that it was real I guess you can retroactively apply the snark.

That said, I'm glad you care enough to whine about it. Some don't.

I was indoors hitting golf balls and drinking. I checked the score now and then but I know I had a better time. :)

It was hot as hell during the day last year. I remember rejoicing that the game was later. The fact that the storm hit was just bad luck but it started as a beautiful evening, following a sweltering afternoon.

I was at the Drake game. I can assure you that watching a crappy broadcast at home was better than seeing it live in person.

I still wish that they would have that first game on Thursday night. Those were fun and you get all day Saturday to watch other games.

No, those Thursday night games sucked. They were a pain in the *** to plan for and they deprived us of a Saturday tailgate. It's one thing if we play on a Thursday because the game is nationally televised but to do it just because? Thats a hard no for me.

Kickoff times have consequences for people not at the stadium. It's May. I'm free to whine.

Don’t disagree with you there. I’m tired of uni as well.

I don't disagree. I think it comes down to UNI just being an easy game to get. The contracts are all done with no state-to-state crap to worry about. UNI likes it because there's very little travel cost so they keep more of the guarantee. Iowa State is always going to sell out or near sell out that first weekend anyway so why not play a bad FCS team? Get Missouri State or North Dakota or Northern Colorado on the phone.
