Louisville Kickoff: Noon / RSN-YES

[IthacaBarrel]

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.

Can lead to some interesting evenings as well, these days I would probably go to dinner at 5:30 and be in bed by 8:00. 3:30 was always ideal when thinking about a day that was focused on essentially drinking for 12-14 hours

Better than any part of UCONN on the field

Sure but the people are tuning in to watch Clemson.

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.

If it was about the quality of the product, Clemson would be relegated to RSN the rest of the year. It's about the eyeballs.

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.

just guessing because of the fact that most acc rsn games are at 1230 i think the noon game is considered the better game from a tv selection process and from announcer so i have the game as 6th in the pecking order as bc - Gt is clearly last

thats called getting comcast to carry acc network bump they have been pounding the virginia and carolina teams since comcast and them are still negotiating last i knew as they contract expired in sept then got a 1 month extention

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

Get yourself a VPN subscription and login through an out of region location. It works like a charm. It's how I watched the VT game and how my wife watched the BC game while I was in the Dome hurting my hands and losing my voice.

I agree. But there's a lot of Clemson fans.
