It is a real shame the Wagner and FSU games will not be played at night.Noon for FSU blows but everything else looks good.
I'd rather play FSU at noon on national TV than at 4 or 7 on a regional network.
It'll make it that much more gratifying when we win.
It must've been such a chore back in the 90s when we had all those 3:30 starts on ABC.I hate the 3:30 starts. Pretty much guaranteed the game is going to absorb the entire day (2+ hr ride out), pregame, incredibly long game (they all are), then ride back. At least with the nooners i get my evening, and with the evening games, i get a health chunk of the morning to do whatever.
Thought the ACC was out of the noon slots. I thought that 12:30 was the earliest start window for conference games. Doesn;t sound like much but that extra half hour really impacts tailgating for out of towners.

If we're top 25 good again, you won't care diddly what the start time is.
Of course I will care; I will always have a preference. The 3:30 time is not going to stop me from going though. The 90s are irrelevant to me as I was just a kid.
But I can tell you i am exactly who SU should be trying to please (forgive the selfishness). I live in the Capital District where there is a substantial population of Syracuse basketball fans, and a very divided fan base when it comes to pro sports give the equal proximity to the City and Boston. My wife and I are both alums. We make a good living. And we have two boys who are being cultivated to be fans (and maybe even students some day, probably paying close to full freight).
My weekends are precious. My wife and I both work in high-stress jobs. We have already made the decision to sacrifice Saturday fall sports in order to attend games. Like most fans, we only have so much resources (time and $) to devote. There is always a tipping point. For now, SU is in the lead.
Clearly W.Mich is going to be a night game being Friday. What are the chances we get televised?

the reality is that tail gating at SU is for about 1-2K and the rest dont care that pre/post game time is cut into. I also wonder how many come from even an hour away , again its probably a small perc..
but TV doesnt care about any of that anyway
