    Your right a 1 or 2 or even 3 kickoff would make things easier. But maybe Troy has realized that UNI football doesn't play as well when the kickoff is before 4:00 in the Dome? If you don't believe me look it up, Delaware '07, Richmond '08, Lehigh '10, SIU '11, and I am sure their are many more.
    Not just in the dome...but anywhere in general. 4 or 6 PM games have historically been real good to UNI football...other start times have not been as nice.

    Dannen did what he needed to do to get the best chance for a W.

      This is a logistical nightmare for the Athletics Dept. best of luck, there will be a lot of time on the phones getting the Dec 3rd weekend figured out and then making sure it all goes to plan. Resume material for those student interns!!

        Richmond wasn't an early kick.

          It was at 3:00 instead of 4:00

            We need to give props to all involved in this - from facilities staff - to Media Relations - coaches who are having their schedules adjusted - training staff- ticket staff -- etc. etc. etc. The price you pay for having successful programs -- I'm sure they wouldn't have it any other way!

              Football better get flexible fast. Nothing close to a 4:00 kick after this round...

                Hopefully Night Games, although if we play Montana, and notice I said if, it would be a day game due to their lack of lights, but it doesn't effect us as much away as home for some reason.

                  Per a tweet from Colin McDonough, basketball is staying at 7:00.

                    Not sure why they wouldn't at least push it back to 7:30. Lots of people have responsibilities at both football and basketball games.

                      Personally I would go to 8, not that late, but makes sure football is complete. When is Volleyball going to be, Thursday-Friday? I hope we aren't scraping our plans to host Volleyball the girls deserve to host the first two rounds.

                        Re: December 3rd

                        sounds like one of three scenarios, if MBB is staying at 7:
                        - UNI will get Thurs./Fri. volleyball matches, or
                        - the second round match will be played at the same time as the football game, or
                        - UNI has withdrawn the hosting bid

                        Thurs./Fri. isn't ideal (less time to scout/prepare for opponents, as the tournament pairings won't be announced until Sunday (11/27) evening, but it's better than the alternative.

                        Playing during the football game will definitely hurt attendance (for volleyball quite a bit, but also for football to a small extent). Though of course, the VB team needs to win the first round match before the second round becomes a factor.

                        If UNI rescinded their hosting bid, I will be quite upset and disappointed.

                        - another possible alternative: perhaps a Saturday/Sunday hosting scenario could work, with UNI's match starting at 2 p.m., followed by the other match, and then the second round match could be played Sunday afternoon. Not ideal for maximizing attendance, but at least you wouldn't have as much overlap between UNI volleyball and UNI football.

                            I cant figure out why bball would not move back an hour. Even just a half hour would be great.
