I like it. Gonna be a loud (ie drunk) crowd at the Jack.

 

[Clonegrad07]

Ah SWEET... I gotta see if I'm going to get it in Indiana.

 

[CyDude16]

Oh hell yeah! lots of tailgating, national broadcast, and most importantly Gus Johnson.

 

[cyguytillidie]

Barbecuing some longhorn under the lights! Hells ya!

I hope the weather is nice and chilli for Texas. :yes:

 

[isume6]

Anybody else hoping we get an early taste of late oct/early nov weather that night?

Looking at Accuweather, they have the high set at 76 degrees. Here is one time I am hoping that is dead wrong. I would love to have a 45-50 degree night, wind out of the north. Give us a little edge.

The wife will be happy since she doesn't get off work until 7:00. She will still get to see a major portion of the game.

Is this the good news or bad?

This far out they have no clue what they're talking about.

I love it. A full day of partying before the Big Event.

I hate early games because the non-die hard tailgaters and fans never seem to get up early enough for a full day of tailgating... now they have no excuse. GAME ON!

 

[BigSkyCy2]

I'm pumped that I can attend this game. My football team plays in Pella at 1 p.m., so I should be able to make it up by kickoff!

This. National broadcast instead of regional AND in HD. Go Cyclones!

Is it national? Original post said FX Central so I'm just curious. I'm not really up to speed on the TV contracts. I sure hope it's national.

I think the cold favors us as we have more players from the north that have played in the cold before, but I think a windy game hurts us. UT's running game is better than ours with Malcolm Brown, Fozzy and their other RBs and I think Jantz and our Passing game is better than UT with McCoy and their WRs. So if it's windy and both teams throw less it's probably advantage UT.

Should show Superman movie after game. (sorry, random thought)

I think they only do one game a week... FX to broadcast weekly college football game - NCAA Football - CBSSports.com

Cable channel FX will broadcast a weekly college football game during the coming season.

I guess I overstated that a little. I am hoping just for a light wind, but enough that the wind chill factor starts to play a part in how it feels, making a 50 deg night feel colder.

Central probably means 6:00 pm Central time. Which is why I'll be turning my channel to the game at 7:00 pm Eastern time.

 

[CloneFan4]

Not sure how we didnt get the 2:30 time slot. At least I'll be able to goose hunt and tailgate that day.

 

[Clonehomer]

Well, the good thing of moving to the MWC is there will be more hotel options available. Ames, Nevada, and Boone are already full. Sounds like the crowd will ne pretty good.
