This Friday mailbag starts with a conversation about kickoff times. Why do fans get so emotional about this topic? It’s a widespread thing in college football, but fans of the Huskers hold their own in overreacting to an 11 a.m. kickoff. Or a night game. Or whatever the networks that are paying tens of millions of dollars annually to Big Ten programs choose to do with their programming.

Connor and Mitch react to the reactions that came in the wake of many TV announcements Thursday. Also, what’s up with the letters in the newly painted end zones at Memorial Stadium? What kind of adjustment must the Huskers make in a short time to get their punting situation in order as Archie Wilson gets to town.

We’ve got comments about pizza. And we finish with some baseball talk as Will Bolt’s resilient group prepares to get started in NCAA-regional play on Friday against Oklahoma. Join us.
