Nebraska, Iowa to play day after Thanksgiving through 2012

Iowa and Nebraska will meet on the Friday after Thanksgiving in each of the next two seasons.

The schools announced Monday they’d face each other in Lincoln on Nov. 25 and in Iowa City on Nov. 23, 2012.

Nebraska athletic director Tom Osborne says in a statement that he’s pleased the Big Ten has allowed the Huskers to continue their tradition of playing the day after Thanksgiving.
