Yes. It should be a night game.
Do you want me to call Gary?

I don't know the answer to that, but I'm curious - does Iowa have a say in the time it's played?
How Iowa plays the first 3 games will be their "say".
3-0 and I will guarantee a night game right now.
2-1, 66% chance
1-2, 0% chance with a 100% chance of Beth Mowins @ 11 AM on ESPN 2
This is a very good point, but what I meant was this - let's say Iowa is 3-0 and doesn't want a night game (obviously this is just made up example, of course we want that game at night) would they have a say?
I think Iowa can say what they prefer, it is far from the number one factor. But basically if Iowa prefers not to have the home night game in question. It may be the deciding factor if two games interest are really close. I truly believe we saw a lot of that in the Sally Mason era
I don't think the teams have much impact in who plays at night. But Iowa has been in favor of night games the last few years, and I would expect that to continue.
With the 12 day selection window coming into play more often, I doubt the teams' preferences mean much. They probably had an impact when all the night games were announced in April/May.

Unless something strange happens before then, feel free to book the Badgers for a night-game woodshedding in Kinnick. I can't wait.
Let's do 2:30...........that will work this year at Kinnick.

Let me rephrase that - WHAT OTHER IMPORTANT OR RELEVANT GAMES ARE ON THAT SATURDAY THAT WOULD BE WORTHWHILE OF PRIME TIME TV. That should remove almost all of those games.
Is it a slap in the face that Wisconsin, Michigan or Ohio State don't play Iowa at night in their home games?
Ah the yearly clash between the Cyclones and the might ZIPS from Akron. Should be another instant classic.......
It wouldn't knock me over surprised if Nebraska at Michigan was the choice if both of those teams were 3-0. Gameday was last in Ann Arbor in 2015 for MSU-Michigan. They've done a couple of Michigan road games since then. ESPN likes them some Jimmy and Frost. I doubt undefeated Wisconsin-Iowa excites the Gameday crew, but who knows.
Not with respect to Wisconsin. Wisconsin's night game was it's NC opener (on Friday night) with Southern Utah. It would have preferred a night game with the Hawks or Michigan (which turned out to be a 11:00am Gameday start).
While Wisconsin @ Kinnick would be great, Dodger makes a valid point about NE/MI. TCU/TX is also a contender(Patterson/Herman).
This isn't always true. They could schedule at 2:30 and then flex based off of last weeks games.
We played 2:30 at Wisconsin last year and it was damn cold. A night game in mid September sounds perfect to me!
Iowa should get to play those two more often. They currently are the team that knocked them out of the CFP.
