Pretty sure we’ve won 5 straight vs Iowa in basketball. Last time we lost to them Andres Feliz led us with 17 pts.For kicks and giggles, here's the current football-and-basketball streaks we have going against our B1G foes. These are streaks that are continuous through both basketball and football seasons.
Nebraska +6 (2 Football, 4 Basketball)
Michigan +5 (0/5)
Minnesota +5 (2/3)
Northwestern +5 (1/4)
Penn State +4 (1/3)
Iowa +3 (1/2)
Wisconsin +2 (1/1)
Michigan State +2 (1/1)
Ohio State -1 (0/-1)
Rutgers -1 (0/-1)
Maryland -1 (0/-1)
Indiana -2 (-1/-1)
Purdue -3 (-1/-2)
Yes, but his list is based on both sports. Our basketball streak is punctuated by a football loss.Pretty sure we’ve won 5 straight vs Iowa in basketball. Last time we lost to them Andres Feliz led us with 17 pts.
Oof, I get it now.Yes, but his list is based on both sports. Our basketball streak is punctuated by a football loss.
You could also turn that into a Jimmy Fallon ‘thank you’ letter bit.I read that in the Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy voice. Lol
Yes, but we lost last year to them in football. The streak covers both sports.Pretty sure we’ve won 5 straight vs Iowa in basketball. Last time we lost to them Andres Feliz led us with 17 pts.
Agreed and its scary to think if our red zone offense get just a bit more effective at scoring touchdowns instead of just adding on FGs we'll start winning games rather comfortably.Our o-line is going to be fired up to have McCray back. And Chase Brown is going to be very thankful to have him back too, so he doesn't have to touch it 40 times.
I keep waiting for the let down game, but at this point I don't think it's coming. Bielema has everyone bought in, Walters has this D playing with a giant chip on it's shoulder every week, and Lunney/TDV are getting better each week.
This is going to be one of those game where by the middle of the 3rd quarter everyone is saying "Stop! Stop! They're already dead!". Chase and Josh, both individually, will have more yards than the entire Nebraska offense.
only Harbaugh could make watching something as innocent as watching a baseball game look so stinking douchey lol.View attachment 20650

It's been a while since we've had to care about such things lol.Does ABC vs ESPN get finalized later, is it regionalized, I forget what the deal is now.
ABC or ESPN for IL@Neb will get finalized by Sunday Oct. 23rd. (No regional stuff going on.)Does ABC vs ESPN get finalized later, is it regionalized, I forget what the deal is now.
NBC gets Notre Dame home games and when a game is on a neutral field, but Notre Dame is considered the home team, I believe.^ Can someone remind me how the Notre Dame/NBC thing works? It'd be really nice for us if Notre Dame/Syracuse - a matchup that the media, especially East Coasters, will try to shove down our throats - could be on NBC and not take up a slot that we could have.
Notre Dame's contract has always been with NBC. I'm not aware that it has changed. NBC trucks at the stadium every game.^ Can someone remind me how the Notre Dame/NBC thing works?

All TV rights throughout college football are owned by the home team.^ Can someone remind me how the Notre Dame/NBC thing works?
October?ABC or ESPN for IL@Neb will get finalized by Sunday Nov. 23rd. (No regional stuff going on.)
Other games in the mix are ND@Syr & Cincy@UCF, those two games will get either 11am ESPN or 2:30pm ABC/ESPN kickoffs.
I personally grown to like the "Breakfast with the Illini" game time. I'm in the MT time zone ( and used to be in Alaska) and that early game time for me is nice. Game gets over by 1pm (11am in AK) and I've got the rest of the day to tackle DIY projects. Later times mean I won't get anything accomplished on Saturdays! LolNice!! 2:30 pm on ABC is true ratings gold ... we'll see just how much of a draw the Illini can be here, IMO. Yes, Nebraska draws great ratings, but...
1) I think it will be ever-so-slightly diluted by the disappointing season they're having, though not by that much.
2) We will still be able to tell if an Illini/Nebraska game sees any drop-off from other bigtime games Nebraska has played in. For example, they drew 3.41 million for a "Big Noon Kickoff" game vs. a (then) top 10 Oklahoma squad a few weeks back.
It's nice to finally get the recognition and hopefully leave BTN's 11:00 am "Breakfast with the Illini!" in the dust.
