Wyoming vs. Iowa should be an interesting opening week match up. Wyoming has a QB who is thought of as a sure first round pick so it will be interesting to watch how Iowa's defense does against him.

Thanks, that is a relief to know that we won't be splitting BTN airings with another school in our time slot. The BTN here in Alaska on my cable system has no flow over channel so always a risk of not getting to see Northwestern play when there are two B1G games being broadcast at the same time on BTN.

I'll warn you now that the Bowling Green game on 9/16 will be split with Georgia State-Penn State.

Now if we are undefeated at that point after having just beaten Penn State what are the odds that I might still get to see our Cats play?

Quite the treatment for IU OSU, including Dan Dakich doing color on the IU homer broadcast (barf).
