The Big Ten Conference has approved Nebraska and Iowa's request to play their annual rivalry game on the Friday after Thanksgiving for the foreseeable future. This day, known as "Black Friday" because it is busiest shopping day of the year, is widely associated with bargain-hunting customers flooding stores at the early hours of the morning for Christmas merchandise rather than for college football. 2013 will mark the third consecutive year that the Nebraska-Iowa game, officially known as the "Hy-Vee Heroes Game," will be played on Black Friday. Both teams have met 43 times since 1891 and Nebraska currently leads the series 28-12-3. This year's game will be held in Lincoln on November 29th. Iowa City will host the game in 2014.
