6 day hold on three sets of games...brutal for those fans trying to make plans

I think noon on the road is always best. Crowd might take a few minutes to wake up, you don't have to sit around a hotel room all day thinking about the game.

Cool. This time I'll make sure Bally's doesn't fool me by changing the channel at the last minute.

 

[DonLightfoot]

Any chance that ACCN or ESPN might pick up this game? If not, it will be my third game in a row without TV

Nope.

That's what bars are for!

Lou coming off BC/NCst/Clem 3 pretty physical teams can be a plus

Yeah, I'll need to get creative to watch this one too looks like.

In terms of prestige, the noon RSN slot is as bad as it gets. Really a slap in the face to UL and Syracuse.

I get putting the Clemson-UConn game on ACCN at noon instead of our game. Even if the only interesting thing to watch in that game is whether Clemson can get to triple figures on offense.

The Tigers have a lot of fans and Comcast still hasn't signed up for ACCN. They are going to try and put a big name on ACCN every week to continue to press Comcast to sign on the dotted line.

The three games they are holding are all really attractive. One will likely be an ABC game, one an ESPN or ESPN2 and one an ACCN night game.

• Miami at Florida State
• Notre Dame at Virginia
• NC State at Wake Forest

They picked the right games to feature. But why not have Duke vs VT at noon on RSN and UL-Syracuse on ACCN at 3:30 pm? Some applies to BC at GT. The UL-SU game has bowl implications and is going to be a lot more interesting and meaningful. We should have at least gotten the 3:30 RSN slot.

But as stated above, the noon start should help us more than a late afternoon or night game. The crowd might be somewhat sober. I guess minimizing the home field advantage is the most important thing for us right now.

Someone posted a link to YES network last week. The game would buffer if I sent the signal to my tv so just watched on my phone… not ideal but better than nothing.

I make sure I have SNY for the Mets, wish they would partner with ACC instead of YES…

Also Gary Cohen was dissing Rutgers football on a Mets broadcast last month. Something about “since when is Rutgers football considered NY sports” lol

According to Matt Sarz, the agreement between the ACC and RSNs (mostly Bally now) expires in 2026-27.

My guess is that the agreement that YES signed with the ACC runs until the end of the contract. I would not expect SNY to step in any time soon.

 

[upperdeck]

UL attendance was down last home game to 65%. They will get a decent crowd for a Clemson night game.. But losing that will be 4 out of 5 and I would expect a noon game to go down again in who shows up..

They're retiring Lamar's #. It'll be a big crowd. But a Nooner is definitely preferable in regards to fan hostility.

You mean you don't have to tailgate excessively all afternoon for a night game and have little memory of what happened.

maybe.. but they only sell 60-65% of the tickets in any game this year.. is that really gonna bump up to see 4-5 UL vs 5-4 SU just to go sit and watch a few min of jackson? It wouldnt bump up an SU crowd if Freeney was getting retired. Most wouldnt even know.

I was actually thinking about the players.

If I go to the game, it really doesn’t matter. Before the day is over, much of it will be forgotten.

I’m guessing The Pinstripe Bowl is tied to the contract as well

Retiring the number of an all-time ACC player while playing the best RB in the league with bowl implications OR

The worst Clemson team in 5 years clinch bowl eligibility vs an all time worst non-conf team that is truly an eye sore

 

[David321]

Speaking of bowl games, I wish there was a DVD that had full bowl games on it or some type of best of Cuse football moments. I’d pay for that.

 

[Trueblue25]

Absolute blessing. Dodge another potential hostile night game environment just like Lane.

Hopefully we can grab a lead and hold at half and 10% of the fans will bail.

I don't think retiring Lamar Jackson's number carries much weight with television since halftimes aren't shown on TV. They probably show a quick 30 sec blip as they come back to the announcers right before the second half.

True, but they get to show his highlight reels all game. Which should be fun for us to watch as much of it will be that Friday night in the Dome.

Maybe the public is just nostalgic for something else, the days when Clemson's offense used to be explosive. So a home game against UConn gives the people what they want.

Better than any part of UCONN on the field
