Best guess on Iowa game start time??

[TedFlintKansas]

trying to figure out if I need a hotel room for just Saturday or Friday and Saturday. Didn't know if anyone had done some deep research to look into when they think the game will start

cheers

2:30 or 11:00

Money on 11:00

If they want people conscious at kick, they'll do 11.

 

[RubyClone]

Might get the 2:30, kind of a stinker of a Big XII slate

Saturday, Sept. 12
Central Arkansas at Oklahoma State
Iowa at Iowa State
Kansas State at UTSA
Lamar at Baylor
Liberty at West Virginia
Memphis at Kansas
Oklahoma at Tennessee
Rice at Texas
Stephen F. Austin at TCU
UTEP at Texas Tech

Other than OU/Tennessee (guessing a night game), probably the best game of the day. Presuming Texas and Rice is on Longhorn.

 

[Cy Hard]

Yeah, looking at that I'd say the 2:30 pm ABC regional/ESPN2 out of region time slot. OU/Tenn has to be the FOX national 7:00 pm game.

 

[Haverhill]

My guess is that the game will be on FS1 to bring a Big Ten Fanbase over to the new network. Just a hunch.

 

[1UNI2ISU]

The SEC has the rights to the OU/Tenn game. That one is ticketed for ESPN, probably in the evening.

2:30 seems like a pretty safe bet unless it ends up at an odd time on FS1.

With the state of both programs, maybe they won't want people conscious

It's in Ames, so 11:00.

when was the last time it was an 11am kick for the Iowa game in Ames?

2011, 2009 and 2007.

2011, 2009 and 2007.

2003 and 2001 were 11:30 kickoffs.

 

[CysRage]

2013 was a 7:00pm kickoff IIRC. Let's just say I didn't make it in until well into the 2nd quarter.

5:00 p.m.

Being in the student section at that time sucked. Looking into the sun the entire first half.

 

[Sparkplug]

I liked the 5:00 kickoff. Most of the big sponsors - like Iowa Corn Growers - had tents with activities throughout the day. That wouldn't work as well if it were an 11:00. But then TV doesn't care about my tailgating activities.

 

[theshadow]

2007 was 12:30. VERSUS had that weird time slot.

 

[Luth4Cy]

I'm going to go with 8......a.m.

Seriously thought, it will probably be either 11 or 2:30. Neither team is coming off a season good enough to defend putting it in prime time unless every other option is awful.

 

[Al_4_State]

If they want people conscious at kick, they'll do 11.

Who wants to be conscious for this one?

 

[Incyte]

Don't Ames hotels require a two night stay for home-game weekends anyway?

5:00 p.m.

Like I said, I didn't make it to the game until well into the 2nd quarter :biglaugh:
