The targetting rules need some serious adjustments.  We need something but not this.  I think it needs to be flagrant and not incidental.

That Miss State "punt" return call was horrendous, the ref threw his bag and waved to stop the clock, play was dead.

Wedding hangover. Not ideal. 

Granted, it was a Wisconsin wedding, so I earned it.

I like your style on this one!

Wow y'all sure do love to hate your 11 AM kickoffs. :)

There’s sort of a irony of the pendulum swinging back.

We used to have a more limited set of later games and a ton of 11 ams, as ESPN/ABC concentrated viewership later in the day.

BTN started the proliferation of networks, which meant more evening slots, which shifted everything later.

Now multiple networks, including FOX, are zagging by trying to create a more balanced slate, and leveraging its best asset to do so.

I’m trying to think back on the best Wisconsin night games of late. Iowa and Michigan in 2018. In terms of home games, probably 2016 (I’m not counting last year)

Wow. That’s a big break for Michigan. Night games at Camp Randall are a nightmare for the visitor.

I love the pendulum swinging back for FOX.  If they keep it like that, and ABC/ESPN sticks to the primetime, we can always get the best Big Ten game at noon, the best SEC game at 3:30, and the best Pac 12, ACC, or Big XII game at night, that's great with me.  Usually ESPN plants the 2nd best SEC game there, and/or the 2nd best Big Ten game, so the balance is just perfect.

The Wisconsin students won't be out of bed or over their hangovers by 11 AM.

I haven't traditionally been much of a fan of 11 AM games, but the 2019 one vs. Penn State was a morning game. The New Brickhouse was a seething madhouse.

You are assuming they actually go to bed. Not a good assumption.
