And it won't be until we start winning as many games in a year as they do. If and when we get to that point, we can go back to complaining about 11 am games

It seems like we've gotten less and less input on whether or not these games are allowed. I don't think there are many of these schools that want a Friday game. Not sure we have the clout to be able refuse playing on Fridays, regardless of home or away.
Well Mr. Knowledgeable I'm sorry those terrible performances have skewed your view of the Huskers over the years. I prefer to remember the great performances over the years, none of which occurred on a Friday not named Black. Fridays are for high schoolers.
And the word you you're looking for is 'cite'.
No, I am actually flying up the Sunday before and heading home the Monday after.
Not that anyone cares what I think, I am with the group who see this as not a big deal. I actually like Friday night games, frees me up on Saturday. Again, just my opinion.
I am selfishly ok with this. I can put the kids to bed and watch the game in peace and then have all day Saturday to get things done. I get that it's a pain in the butt if you're going to the game, but it's one game, guys.
Just win, and the complaining will abate.

Compared with other changes that don't seem to cause as much anguish (gambling, liquor in stands, million dollar contracts for 19 year old kids) this hardly moves the needle.
Michigan and tOSU have come out and send they will not ever play a Friday night football game.
Yet the B1G conference agreed to TV contracts that require Friday night football games. So the other 16 or 14 or 12 teams in the conference have to fulfill that requirement?
There's an arrogance that exists that they are better, they are different, that they are subject to a different set of rules than the rest of us.
So you're saying that next year those teams will have to play a Friday night game? I do not believe that will happen. How long before those schools go "Texas" on this conference ... such as kicking out current members or agreeing to imbalanced revenue distributions ...

Auto correct is a thing. I also prefer to remember the better memories however I'm realistic and adaptive
I am saying tje B1G will put a schedule together that works.
1) Friday Nights are for High School Football and cheering on future Huskers.
2) A lot of season ticket holders are outside 100 mile radius. There are a number of us that are 200-250 mile radius and further.
3) Money won the day, and local corporate donors are going to have to pony up even more to make this a sell out, especially if Illinois returns unsold tickets.
4) I'll be cheering on Ankeny Hawks football that night.
5) I'm considering letting my season tickets go un-used that night as a boycot and hoping others would to, to show a semi-empty "400th consecutive sell out" stadium. Guessing actual attendance will be around 80k regardless. It's going to look stupid on TV as they hype a "sell-out"

The appeal of the B10 to me was the NFL-like approach to revenue sharing an almost opposite approach to the Texas dominance of the B12. I hope your right - I am skeptical that you will be!

Wow
Exactly, and since there's maybe 13 weeks or potential Fridays per season, we are well beyond having 13 teams in the conference.
