Neb-Iowa hatred on the Friday after Turkey Day is no more. Anyone no why? As an outsider I liked the series, watched it most years while ignoring relatives on a slow Friday.I do not know why. It will probably come out in the next few days.

We've also gone almost straight SEC with tons of early season conf games, except in week 2. I scratch my head at Wisc-PSU.
I hate Delany so, so muchDitto. So sick of this crap.
King Barry is gonna blow a gasket.No, he won't.
Thursday night, September 2, 2021. Ohio State at Minnesota for the Big Ten's super Hyped Up Conference Opener!That is the traditional spot. UW/Iowa was the end game.
I always preferred a mid-October Axe game. The drive to Madison on 94 is much prettier in mid-October than it is at the end of November.
Gopher football on T+1 sure beats the hell out of going shopping.
Do the scheduling gods regard Iowa-Nebraska, Iowa-Wisconsin, and Nebraska-Minnesota games equivalent rivalries? Or, are Iowa-Wisconsin, and Nebraska-Minnesota considered bigger rivalry games?I saw one Poster refer to it as The Quadrangle of Hate !
It looks like they stuck with the same Parity schedule cross-overs for all six years from 2016 to 2021Yeah, we pretty much knew exactly what the schedule would be. Now we just have the dates.
OSU-Neb
Mich-Wisc
PSU-Iowa
MSU-NW
MD-Minn
Rut-ILL
Indy-Pur
And they are finishing the 6 year rotataion so that everybody will have played everybody at least twice in six years.
What will be interesting how will they do the next cycle starting in 2022.
Because nobody wants to play Big Ten games in Week 1Or week 2 or week 3.
Or week 2 or week 3.I don't have a strong feeling against this. What's worse? having all the crap non-con games the first three weeks and then being done or spreading them around so there are at least a few good games each week?
Because nobody wants to play Big Ten games in Week 1the Bucks and Hoosiers game gave us something to watch and talk about this early season
Wouldn't count out Nebraska playing on black Friday yet. Last several schedules showed them playing Saturday when released and both schools agreed to move them. Might not happen, but still unclear.so, you're saying there's a chance?
It looks like they stuck with the same Parity schedule cross-overs for all six years from 2016 to 2021I've been told UNL will either have PSU or Michigan in the next 6 year rotation starting in 2022...
OSU-Neb

Shatel: A tone-deaf goodbye to Black Friday by Nebraska and Athletic Director Shawn EichorstThis is an interesting opinion piece. I guess, I didn't read as much into it as Mike Hlas with The Gazette. Maybe I should -- it is just that over a 9 or 10 year span teams like Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Wisconsin can change their ways, and you cannot predict that far forward which game is likely to be the division championship game.

Hasn't worked very well for the most part.
Nebraska's geography presents difficult recruiting obstacles, more so as a member of the Big Ten Conference, than it did when it was in the Big 12. Iowa State, which now has had 2 or 3 years of higher enrollment than Iowa, and has a good coach, will be more competitive going forward for in-state recruiting, and so that could knock down Iowa's recruiting in-state in coming years. I just know the Wisconsin-Iowa series I regard as Iowa's best rivalry series.
Well it was nice of them to leave Rivalry Week open, just in case the powers that be magically become smart enough to bring back the Texas-aTm/Nebraska-Oklahoma rivalries.
Interesting that in the Big 12 the Sooner/Horn game has been left in it's original and traditional early October slot.
yup, many conferences have tried to set things up to put the biggest games on the biggest stage late in the season. Hasn't worked very well for the most part.It cannot be emphasized enough that the Big Ten league office will protect Michigan-Ohio State at all costs from all comers, even though the big 2-little 8/10/12 era is dead and gone.

so they were afraid the state fair would suffer w/o the football game?The lengths the interested parties have gone to keep the game at the Cotton Bowl should answer the question. If it were moved to JerryWorld, I would expect everyone to scrap the neutral site altogether.
I had to open the .pdf in the original article to see other rivalry week games. Michigan State's rival in 2020 and 21 is . . . Maryland. Seems like Maryland and Rutgers are rotating Penn State as a rival for rivalry week.They were the third wheel in UM-OSU, sort of like Iowa is to Wisconsin-Minnesota.
A fine program that Michigan State, but as long as it has been in the conference it can't find a rival to disdain in rivalry week.
Drop the championship game and add a tenth conference game. More Big Ten games more income.And yet, mo money mo problems
Shawn Eichorst now says Nebraska "will do everything possible to maintain our tradition* of playing games on the Friday after Thanksgiving."Who would stand in the way of Nebraska and Black Friday? The Big Ten now has other Friday games.

They were the third wheel in UM-OSU, sort of like Iowa is to Wisconsin-Minnesota.I liked the Penn State - Michigan State game, too. They should have set up Rutgers and Maryland as rivals and left Penn State and Michigan State alone.
I think Penn State made sense, as manufactured as it felt. Nebraska-Iowa made all the sense in the world. So naturally they go and screw that up.
UW is not going to want to play on that Friday. It's gun season and those who hunt are in trees that day. It's tough enough to get them to the Saturday games. You have it on Friday and the stadium will have 40K people in it.True. I went to a game at camp during gun season, that cal poly game, there was maybe 50k.
