Gophers' final road game, Nov. 19 @ Northwestern, will be Northwestern's first morning kickoff of season, 11a.m. on BTN. According to tweet by Phil Miller.
 

Darn it Maxy, you beat me to it.

It brings up a pet peeve of mine...the Big Ten's antiquated stance on November night games. It is just stupid, plain stupid. Why limit potential Prime Time exposure during the last month of the season? I know the excuses range from weather to decreased daylight to increased security costs. They are all lame IMO. The weather is different than it was years ago. It is more mild in general in November. The increased revenue from TV should offset the increased security costs to host night games.
 

If we were going to have an 11am kickoff this season, this is the perfect location for that game. Zero pregame atmosphere in Evanston.
