Welcome to The Platinum Board. We are a Nebraska Husker news source and fan community.
Sign Up Now!Doesn't bother me either. I love the FRI night games honestly because it gives us our own stage. This being on national TV FOX is big.This honestly doesn't really bother me at all.
I was actually planning on coming down for this game, but now my cousin is getting married on that Saturday so I can't now, but it all probably works out better with this being a Friday game now.

You mean 2 over 3 week span, right? Assume you're talking about Colorado and then Illinois.

I wonder if every NEB HS now moves that weeks game to SAT ?
They should.
Plus you can get your Fred Flintstone on with a nice bone-in ribeye Saturday afternoon as you down a case of Fat Tire. ZERO STRESS...Doesn't bother me either. I love the FRI night games honestly because it gives us our own stage. This being on national TV FOX is big.
If it's 3-0 vs 3-0 that game could pull a very strong TV rating. It'll probably be in our top 4 most watched games of the year. Which it wouldn't be if it was buried on a Saturday afternoon vs 55 other games.
Someone on this board, definitely wasn’t you, said just the other day that Nebraska has told the B1G they wouldn’t host Friday night home games.Amen. I'm getting tired of our fans who are freaking out about this development. If you have a son who plays HS football, I will let you vent. But for everyone else, quit crying.
1. Nebraska will now have 2 Nationally Televised Night games on Network TV in back to back weeks.
2. This also likely helps Nebraska avoid an 11 am home kick off time during the season.
My guess is that those 3 are big ratings draws no matter when they play so you might as well put them against stronger tv competition, while Nebraska can pop a really nice rating Friday assuming... Friday Night SmackDown doesn't have a hot pro wrasslin angle.Or be an innovator like Nebraska and leave those sexual deviants in the rear view mirror of the B1G.
UCLA just scored in the Rose Bowl again vs. Michigan, Purdue, Ohio State and Northwestern, etc., etc. - circa 2005
To be fair that could have been like 6 university president and 4 ADs ago, so like 2021Someone on this board, definitely wasn’t you, said just the other day that Nebraska has told the B1G they wouldn’t host Friday night home games.
I think they want to avoid Fridays being the Rutgers-Purdue-MN-Illinois show. That's why on the Friday schedule you see: Oregon, Washington (x2), Nebraska, USC, Michigan State, Cockeye, etc. Taters are way too concerned with what PSU/OSU/UM are doing. They really need to chill out.My guess is that those 3 are big ratings draws no matter when they play so you might as well put them against stronger tv competition, while Nebraska can pop a really nice rating Friday assuming...

You may be referring to my post. And that was in reference to 2017 when the Big Ten started playing Friday night games, but they were only on FS1 and BTN. Now that actual Fox is airing the games, I had mentioned that would likely change things and they may be able to force a lot of the teams that had previously said no to hosting them, to actually have to host them. That turns out to be true. In 2017, OSU, PSU, Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, and Nebraska all said no for sure, and Cockeye may have also been one that said no.Someone on this board, definitely wasn’t you, said just the other day that Nebraska has told the B1G they wouldn’t host Friday night home games.
