Is there any chance Ohio State could be a night game? I assume NBC would need to have first choice that week, ND is away, so shouldn't be a conflict there.

If Iowa beats Michigan that could be a Gameday game, but even if they lose to UM, it's the best B10 matchup that day for sure, so it probably falls to whoever has first pick?

Yes, there is a chance

Doing some more digging on Dochterman's earlier projections, he seems to think it will be CBS:

Technically 2027.

Not really a huge fan of more early in the year games. One game in the 90 degree range is plenty for me.

Fuck that. A week earlier is better. Less time to wait.

I think Iowa State on Labor Day Weekend would be fun. Could even see it get put in a standalone Sunday window.

The excruciating wait for the football season to start is stupid.

That is awful. I don't get the kids doing ATV/dirt bike thing.

Baseball teammate of my kid (8) goes out to the desert w/ his family and races dirt bikes doing like 50 mph.

My brother works in the ED at Barnes in St. Louis. He has some shocking stories about when stuff like that goes wrong.

Even that principal that got killed, he was seemingly a respected, normal guy, but he pulls out in front of someone with a Ranger and it’s tragic.

My kids have e scooters like most kids, but they both know they are gone if they don’t wear a helmet. The only other thing we let them drive without supervision is a golf cart. Even that scares me because dipshit boys younger and than them are driving UTV’s unsupervised.

Well known around here to go to Barnes if you get shot - that place sees some shit. I hope he gets hazard pay. Some of the best docs in the country too so there’s that.

Most kids absolutely do not have e scooters.

Also, I'm confused about the golf cart thing. Are other kids driving UTV's on the golf course, or are your kids driving golf carts around neighborhoods?

ATVs seem like a death trap for anyone
As somebody who grew up in rural Iowa with a go kart, three-wheeler, four-wheeler, dirt bike, etc...I agree. I nearly killed myself, my sister, and my firends on several different occasions. Somehow we all survived (some broken bones, several concussions, and several life-long scars), and somehow we were all better for it.

Also, I'd like to point out my first helmet ever was when I was skiing/snowboarding in college. Neither of my parents asked me to wear a helmet...ever. I blame them for how retarded I am now.

I currently own seven different helmets.

Where do you live? every single kid has one here. Trying to cross an intersection is like a game of galaga with no lasers.
