Duke Kickoff : 12 PM / ACC Network

[hoopsupstate]

Doesn’t leave a lot of time. Game end, 3:30, dinner 4:30, Wheel of Fortune at 7:00, then bed time

My dinner is at 6:00 with cocktails at 5:00. I will have time.

It absolutely blows for tailgates. Getting to the point where it’s not worth the trip. And besides that, it leads to an awful game atmosphere, which hurts SU for home games. TV dictates too much in college football nowadays.

The game is almost sold out. Parents Weekend.

Completely expected (this was beyond predictable) but again hard to create a great atmosphere when almost every Sat game is a Nooner. Smh.......

Damnit. 3:30 or a night game is such a better experience. Getting up to the dome in time for the Quad walk so early and then having nothing but College Gameday on in Miron just isn't great. The one time we had an afternoon game when Miron Victory Court was open, it was amazing. Everyone was pumped up watching Michigan beat Ohio State with other games up on the big screens was awesome

Why does SU have a bad noon game atmosphere when thats really the most traditional time of all for a college game?

Let’s win a few and get a better slot for Pitt. That would be a great night game atmosphere if we can get it.

The traditional time for College football is 3:30 or a night kick. The Noon slot has gained steam the last 5-7 years but it's never been a time programs wanted or desired. There's a reason the OSU fanbase is in open revolt over all the Noon kicks.

Irrelevant. People aren’t stoked for noon starts. The students are barely awake and arrive late. It’ll be late first quarter before the Dome is close to full.

We’ll be likely be 3-3. We’ll probably get a noon start for Pitt.

I recall that the traditional time for SU home games was 1pm or 1:30pm.

It’s a bad time to create a good atmosphere across college football. There’s this thing called alcohol. And fans get more excited about the game when there’s more lead up.,There’s a reason why many of the marquee matchups and best atmospheres are night games.

That was ages ago.

We just can’t do a game watch here in AZ. Sucks for us.

I’m sure it’s been brought up before, so I’m not contributing a new thought, but are SU’s chances for getting a 7/8pm start decreased by the presence of Cal and Stanford? The west coast schools can’t host a 12pm Eastern game, so that means it’s more likely for SU to have an early start.

Yes, the west Coast teams are absolutely playing a roll. IF you look at the Duke week, Stanford is playing San Jose State at home. The earliest the game can be played on East Coast time is 3:30. ACC ended up giving them the 730 ACC network slot. Not saying SU vs Duke deserves as 730 slot but I sure as hell know Stanford vs San Jose State doesn't. Some of it is also I think the ACC just rewarding the original schools. Same week of DUke the ACC has Va Tech vs NC State as the 7pm CW slot. Could have easily slotted SU there but again we get the Noon kick. I also think Fran likes Noon games so not sure SU is putting much pressure for non Noon kicks with the ACC which is a MAJOR mistake.

It's become basically a tv show that fans can go watch live.

Does Fran realize the atmosphere is dead for noon starts?

They do at schools where they take tailgating and football seriously.
