I am getting more forgetful, but sure seems to me that there are more games this Friday than I recall. Also, while not necessarily blockbuster contests, there are a lot of ranked teams in action, many with New Year's Day bowl and even playoffs on the line.
13 Oklahoma vs TCU; 6 Oregon vs 16 Oregon State; 23 Tulane vs UTSA; 9 Mizzou vs Arkansas; 7 Texas vs TTU; 17 Iowa vs Nebraska; 11 Penn State vs Michigan State

So I remember growing up having Neb v Colorado and other Big 8/SWC games played on Black Friday. I remember Ark and LSU playing a few times on Black Friday.
It seems like a few years ago there were less games but now they’re bringing back some bigger games. I kind of like it.

I remember Fridays being when the Iron Bowl was played years ago.

I remember Fridays being when the Iron Bowl was played years ago. I was about to say that but wasn’t 100% sure but felt quite certain that in the 80s and early 90s it was.

The Iron Bowl has been played 6 times on a Friday. The last time was 2009 and before that a couple of times in the 70s and 80s with 88 being last time before 2009. Auburn and Bama fans might not agree on much, but both loathed the Friday time slot and both universities have told CBS and ESPN they do not want to play it on Friday.

Flipped channels and naturally Iowa was punting and naturally, the Huskers fumbled the ball.

Nebraska is the most penalized team in America. I cannot believe that. I was certain that Texas Tech was.

And just as naturally, Iowa has gets penalized 5 yards and the 2d FG attempt is blocked. Lordy, Ohio State or Michigan will annhilate this team next week. Hell, the Wolverines might not even need Iowa's signs to do it.

If Nebraska keeps fumbling, the over might actually hit in an Iowa game.

Who says reincarnation doesn't exist? The Iowa quarterback is Jarod Lorenzen returned.

Huskers hit the bomb. Goodness gracious, 17 points in the first half.

I saw the total as low as 24.5 for this game. Watch it land on 24.

Just looked it up and either I misread the CBS scroll or they were wrong. Nebraska is the 31st fewest in penalties at barely over 5 a game.

I am beginning to worry that Georgia's super punter, Brett Thorson might enter the transfer portal to go to one of those Big Ten West teams.

I think what's even worse is now we're losing the field position game

Had to love seeing the 3 dudes with GBR painted on their chests. Kinda felt like our board was represented at the game.

Fair point bd! Some sort of good luck charm. Maybe a new Husker jersey or something.
With that said, I think 5-7 was around expectations for the year. Clean up the turnovers and keep making incredible strides on defense and we could be dangerous soon. I like the progress with Rhule, but next year, we need improvement

This kid Schrader is one hell of a story for Mizzou. He was very effective against Georgia and is unstoppable today. I know Georgia did not have the greatest of schedules but it wound up with beating two 10 win teams. Wish the Oklahoma game had not been cancelled but it is what it is. Saban and Smart have done great jobs, but Drink is SEC coach of the year in my mind.

Texas makes it look easy with first drive and lead 7-0. Penn State up 3-0 on Sparty.
