    One game at a time, but hypothetically..

    If UNI wins tonight, do we host on Friday or Saturday?
    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

    YES, Definately

      FYI, the original question wasn't looking for a yes/no answer.

      Rather will the game be on Friday or Saturday?

        My guess would be Friday!

              From the NCAA handbook:
              Semifinal Determination Procedure
              The semifinal games during the 2008 Division I Football Championship will be conducted
              on two different days. One semifinal game will occur Friday evening, December 12, while
              the other will occur Saturday, December 13. The games will be broadcast nationally on
              ESPN2 and ESPN, respectively.
              It is anticipated that the two remaining teams in the top half of the 16-team championship
              bracket will play Friday night, while the two remaining teams in the bottom half of the
              bracket will play Saturday.               However, the determination of which teams play on which dates
              is subject to change if issues arise (e.g., host facility specifications) that necessitate a change
              in the best interest of the championship              . The semifinal schedule will be determined by the
              Division I Football Championship Committee on the Sunday following the quarterfinal
              round.
              So if they follow their guidelines, the game would be on Saturday at 3 pm (Central time) on ESPN. But they might change it if for some reason the host school in the top half had difficulty playing a night game. Or I suppose if ESPN thought it would be more profitable to flipflop them.

                From the D-I playoff handbook:

                It is anticipated that the two remaining teams in the top half
                of the 16-team championship bracket will play Friday night, while
                the two remaining teams in the bottom half of the bracket will
                play Saturday.

                IIRC, UNI is in the bottom half, so we'd play Saturday but that can change if circumstances dictate.

                  I almost hope UNI would try to fight for the Saturday game. I think the Iowa/ISU bball game is next Friday and would rather not compete with that game. First off though need to take care of buisness against the Wildcats.
