re: Nebraska at OU gets 11am CST kickoff on FOX and OU is big mad

To all of you people saying that this is Nebraska's fault, you clearly do not understand how Fox Sports works. Their primetime game *is* the 11 AM slot because they don't want to compete with the SEC at 2:30 or ABC/ESPN in the 7:30 slot for whatever reason. Fox had first pick and chose this game because they consider it the marquee match-up for that weekend.

1. It’s the Big 12. They don’t deserve any night games

2. It’s a 21 point spread

Tough shite

Noon/11 AM is actually a better timeslot than primetime. Primetime games typically get worse ratings than the noon and afternoon games because people don't stay home and watch TV on Saturday nights.

Iowa football. 11Am kickoff. Beth Mowins on the call. It's a tradition. I'm used to it. The good news is post game you have the entire day in front of you.

Kinda surprised they stuck Iowa Indiana on the BTN at 230. Not the timeslot so much as the channel. Both those teams will definitely be ranked week 1

Yeah, I get why OU/Tex is played at 11:00 with the state fair and situation near the stadium. But, otherwise that is terrible, unless there are a bunch of other big games that day.
