Time of Minnesota game announced
Issue date: 5/14/08 Section: Sports
The Iowa athletics department announced Tuesday that the Hawkeye football team's 2008 regular-season finale at Minnesota will kick off at 6 p.m. and be televised by the Big Ten Network.
The official news comes just one day after Iowa learned that its games with Northwestern (Homecoming, Sept. 27) and Michigan State (Oct. 4) will start at 11 a.m. Those games will be televised on ESPN, ESPN2, or the Big Ten Network, according to a release, and starting times for the rest of the season will be released at a later date.
Last season, the Hawkeyes handed the Gophers a 21-16 loss at Kinnick Stadium on Nov. 10, pushing their record to 6-5 overall before suffering a disappointing home loss to Western Michigan.
Dating back to Iowa-Minnesota game in 2001, the Hawkeyes have had 77-straight contests televised.

I do not consider being on the BIG TEN Network as being televised. So many more people can not get it than can get it. It is nothing but a major money maker for the Big Ten. (Continued…)

No ones homecoming game should be at 11 a.m. What a slap. That's like arriving at mom's for Thanksgiving for an 11 a.m. feast. Unpatriotic!
