LSU Game Time: Noon

[OrangePA]

Depressing...

No kidding.

How can this not be a night game?

Unbelievable.

 

[rrlbees]

Blows chunks.

Does anyone know if Daryl Gross is, or can, still offer police escorts, similar to my 2005 South Bend trip?

Flight gets in at 11:25 am. I figured worst case I'd still get there, but never in a million years thought LSU would get a noon slot. Have they ever played at noon?

 

[CUSU]

:bang:

 

[JeremyCuse]

I know SU probably plays a 5% role if that in when a game gets played due to TV considerations but my god how do you not get something anything besides noon. Even the ACC 12:30 start is better then Noon. what a disaster.

 

[upperdeck]

it does disrupt the lsu schedule though. no hype coming off auburn game best chance for an upset is early game

 

[sabach]

That really sucks. I thought a night game or 3:30 start were in the bag. No way I thought a noon start would happen.

It's parents weekend too. Wife won't be able to go because she has to work there till 2. There's also events that some parents won't be able to attend.

Unbelievable.

some of this might have something to do with LSU too. They're not high on my list of random games to watch. Their offense is so boring and average. I wonder what kind of draw they are on their own.

That's a tough opponent for Parents Weekend.

 

[CuseLegacy]

Maybe LSU will still be sleeping and going through the motions as I'd imagine they're used to always playing late games. Well at least that's my glass is half full thought on this crappy news...

Well they are CMT no? For them it is an 11:00 am game.

How did you get away without working?

 

[Alsacs]

Well that sucks. I guess an ABC window at 12 is why we are getting either ABC/ESPN at 12. I don't get this decision but TV knows what they are doing. LSU last played a 12pm game at Texas A&M in 2012 on ESPN.

This will definitely get butts in the seats...NOT!!!

 

[Pyle]

Great my kids have soccer until 11:30. I absolutely hate noon./noon-30 starts. 3 in a row in kinda BS

Do what I do. Say sorry kids and send the other half instead. LOL

 

[ThruWayWest]

Beating LSU in a half empty dome? Everyone will claim they were there years later. Shockingly similar to a victory over #1 Nebraska. I am too young to know but was that a noon start?

 

[Pat Kelly]

They're central time zone, so this will be like 11 AM for them

 

[Macky44]

For selfish reasons this is perfect for me. I know ill take heat for it, but if this game was anytime other than noon i wouldnt be able to go because my freakin cousin is getting married in Rochester at 5pm. This would be the 2nd big game someone in my family almost ruined because of a wedding. I had a ticket @ FSU and had to cancel because of another wedding in rochester. Needless to say i hate Rochester now.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Works better for me if I decide to make the drive back from Akron, OH.

 

[FrancoPizza]

What a disappointment. The crowd and excitement level would have been a lot higher with a night start, or at least a mid afternoon start.

Bummer.

The players will have to keep the game close into the 2nd half before the crowd might wake up and provide an assist. Might as well call this a neutral site game. Can't wait for ABC to pan the half-empty student section just before kickoff.

 

[BVille44]

Worst possible time, unfreeking real.

This program just can't catch a break. Even the national television media wants nothing to do with SU in a prime time football game. We will be lucky to have 500 students show up so there will be a lot of silver in the end zone for all to see on tv.

 

[oldpinepoint]

I don't really care what time the game is. I like kegs and eggs
