9 or More B1G Friday Night Games are Coming for the 2024 Season. Looks like they will be on FOX (IOWA at UCLA on Nov 8; 8:00pm CT)

Me, too. As @MrsScrew would say, I think RU finally has their sheet together with Greg Schiano in charge.

Agreed. And after watching and listening to him a bit more last season, I gotta say I kinda like the guy.

I'm hoping so, still not convinced about our QB situation though. However, I fully imagine the UCLA fans and team heading into NJ looking like this on a chilly October afternoon in Piscataway...

We are looking forward to hosting them and USC in November

 

[Franisdaman]

I think he is chillin' now.

Not sure the last time we won a regular season game out West

 

[Franisdaman]

9pm they should just be getting home from a night out and ready to flip on the tv.

and then hit the hay at halftime

Not sure the last time we won a regular season game out West

At Arizona in 1987?

 

[Franisdaman]

At Arizona in 1987?

37 years. Wow

 

[Franisdaman]

So are we striping the Rose Bowl?

What will the attendance be? 60,000?

 

[iahawks10]

37 years. Wow

There hasn’t been a ton of opportunities since then though, but Iowa has struggled in the ones they’ve had.

L @ Hawaii 1988 (if that counts as out west)
L @ Oregon 1994
L @ Arizona 1998
L @ ASU 2004
L @ Arizona 2010

It looks like 2010 was the last time Iowa went out west for a regular season game.

Good info. Thanks

 

[Franisdaman]

Dammit, I'm starting to think we will never get 6am kickoffs on Saturday.

Sorry Moral

Could technically add @ Colorado ‘92 or even @ Tulsa ‘96.

You guys have good memories...or are good researchers

If you move to Hawaii and Iowa eventually plays a game in Ireland, then you may see that for you personally.

Good story.

The B1G no longer resists because money talked.

 

[pistachio1999]

I drive 3.5 hours to go to games so I wouldn't be jazzed about Friday night games for the most part. I could possibly cut out early. But I'd be driving tired and then I'd be locked into getting a hotel room somewhere.

Get yourself one of those big six figure RVs.

Any Tuesday night Big 12 games yet?

 

[MeetTheFerentzes]

I'd call those bad memories...

Naw. Tulsa is in the central time zone. Sioux City is farther West geographically.

 

[Franisdaman]

I'd call those bad memories...

yeah, it seemed like every time we played out West we were dealing with extreme heat, even when the games were at night

 

[Franisdaman]

Michigan has stated no Fridays at home or on the road. We will see if TV changes their demand.

I don't think they will have any sway in the matter now that the TV deals are done; TV will make the decisions, not Michigan.

 

[Franisdaman]

Not a fan of Friday games. Keep Iowa on the day after Thanksgiving as their token Friday game and let the others take their turn.

I think it's a safe bet that at most Iowa will play 2 times per season on a Friday.
* Friday night AWAY game
* Black Friday vs Nebraska (home or away)

 

[Franisdaman]

Friday night games only work when I have something going on Saturday. But on principle, I don't like it. Friday nights are for high school kids.

agreed. unfortunately, FOX thinks otherwise

 

[Franisdaman]

Those days are gone. About the $s now.

yep

 

[pistachio1999]

I see UCLA must have bought the brother of the TN QB. Just committed to UCLA. Hope he got half as much as big bro got.

I didn't think UCLA had the money and that's why Chip Kelly got out of there....

 

[Franisdaman]

Sounds good.
Watch games Friday night, enjoy great fall Saturdays outdoors being active. Win-win for me.

just one game this year

 

[Franisdaman]

I wonder how soon it will take insanehawk to bump the duplicate thread?

Was it before or after you bumped yourself?

 

[Franisdaman]

he didn't get much sleep, he was back to bumping at 6:30 in the morning!

insane, indeed.

Got my hotel set up made yesterday for the UCLA game. Also the flight. Now figuring out the best shot at a cheap couple of tickets. Staying about 1.5 miles from the Rose Bowl. Good enough to grab some sun by the pool with a few adult beverages and walk to the game!

 

[Packer54]

37 years. Wow

Lived in So Cal at that time......drove over to the game!

I don’t think cheap tickets will be a problem

 

[pistachio1999]

Iowa should take their band to it.

 

[MrsScrew]

I'll see your Friday night games & raise you a Thursday night 6pm game 😳😞🙄

 

[Packer54]

I don’t think cheap tickets will be a problem

But I’m talking CHEAP!!!! 😎
