From Matt Sarz:

Louisville: 4 PM ACCN
UConn: 7 PM CBSSN
Purdue: 12 PM ABC

I really like the 4 pm forecasted time for UL. I think that is ideal.

Would normally be happy with a 7 pm start for UConn on the road. But Sir Elton John poses a problem here. A noon start would work better for me.

Don’t like a noon kickoff against Purdue but it would be nice to get a big win on ABC to getting get a buzz going for the rebirth of the program.

Louisville and Purdue kickoff times will be announced by the end of May by ESPN.

UConn game is controlled by CBS Sports. It will be announced separately. Last year the early games were also announced in late May.

If UConn is a night game...I expect to drive over Saturday am...really do not want to spend more than one night in East Hartford.
 
I'd love a Friday night kickoff vs UL...but 4pm on Saturday is awesome too. I realize Friday night games are tough for those who work or drive in a few hours away though.

UConn I want a noon kickoff. Tailgate, watch a win, GTH away from the Rent ASAP.

Purdue I'd love a 3:30 or 7pm kick
 
Please don’t be a 12 start for Purdue. It’s my yearly tailgate and have a lot of people coming from out of town. Eggs and waffles aren’t great tailgate fare. Though Bloody Mary’s and Mimosas aren’t bad.

Same
 
My guess is a 4pm at the latest kick off for the Purdue game….a night game would be fun but don’t think it will happen.

Unfortunately that game screams Noon, I'd be pretty surprised if it we got something different. Assuming the start time is coming this month I Think were probably screwed for a Noon based on SU's record the last few years.

Rutgers was 2 pm ACCN. We're battling GT vs. Ole Miss, NC State vs. Texas Tech as other ACC home games against P5.

Heavyweight games fighting for slots will be Oklahoma @ Nebraska, Miami @ Texas A&M, Penn State @ Auburn.

Yea , I know , I’m already planning being on Adams St at 8 am.

I'll swing by either early or late...will split time between the Fine Mess and yours. You going to be off Adams?
 
Yea the lot on Adams between Crouse and University.

Rutgers time was definitely a surprise but I was going under the premise that if this game is an ABC game it almost has to be Noon if their releasing the time this month because their going off last years records and pub for this season of which Purdue and SU have almost none. Assuming were not an ABC game then other times will obviously come into play. SU matches up fiarly well versus the other ACC games but wouldn't be in the running against the heavyweight type matchups. I would love to see a 3:30 game or an odd ACC Network start like 4 or something but I suspect it will be Noon or 12:30.

I’m hopeful the ACCN will pick it up.

I think Oklahoma @ Nebraska could be Disney or Fox. Not 100% sure how they split the big games up but it seems close to be 50-50 breakdown.

One of the SEC home team games will be shown on CBS.

If Syracuse beats UL and Purdue beats Penn State in week one, this game will be a hell of a lot more appealing than if one or both lose.
