Notre Dame Kickoff: Noon / ABC

[Chris02M]

So help me out here, what outcomes will dictate which decision?

probably best to wait for the rest of the announcements to see

 

[Nick44]

To read between the lines….if Syracuse beats Clemson (ND beats UNLV), it would be noon on ABC. If they lose this weekend, ESPN at 3:30? I can live with this scenario

ND hates playing Nooners. They schedule all their home games for 2:30

 

[HRE Otto IV]

We will be the only ACC game with any exposure. With 2 teams on bye, a Thursday night game, a road OOC game, 3 required ACCN games, and 1 required RSN game.

OK. I have to start waking up early to train for east coast time in the case of a nooner. Maybe I won't be able to hit Syracruz tailgate or just stop by for a quick hello, and I hope maybe you hang around after the game if it is a nooner? Then I would come down and hang out then.

 

[llandz]

So what day do we find out? Is it Sunday? Saturday night? Monday? Asking cause the club here is planning a big game watch with the Notre Dame alumni club.

 

[Chris02M]

should be either saturday night or sunday morning

What is the game we are up against they’ll flip? Has to be Big 12 right?

 

[Chris02M]

as of now these are the 6 day held games
and available windows:
NOON ABC:
NOON ESPN:
NOON ESPN 2 :
330 ABC or ESPN:

330 FOXSPORTS 1:

One of the big 12 games will go to foxsports with other likely at NOON or 330 on ABC or ESPN(think has priority over fox this week).
1 AAC game will go to espn +
To me it looks like ND/Syracuse vs Cincinnati/UCF with 1 at Noon and 1 at 330

Indirectly, the SEC 3:30pm game that day could affect this: Florida-Georgia, which is not as tantalizing as it often is due to UF's struggles.

ND gets eyeballs no matter when they play, but I would guess this'll be a Nooner.

 

[Cuse'91]

Notre Dame @ Noon would be a travesty. If Wildhack still has ANY ESPN juice; need to get that time pushed into afternoon/night.

 

[David321]

I’m taking both Friday and Saturday off for this one (I work nights). Our seat neighbors behind us and my friend from work are all coming to the North Manley Crew tailgate for the first time so I need to be there extra early. I have a feeling it’s gonna be a noon game so not taking any chances.

and available windows:
NOON ABC:
NOON ESPN:
NOON ESPN 2 :
330 ABC or ESPN:
330 ESPN U:
730 FOXSPORTS 1:

One of the big 12 games will go to foxsports @ 730 with other likely at NOON on ABC or ESPN(think has priority over fox this week).
the 330 espnu window typically goes to AAC with 1 other game going to espn 2.
To me it looks like ND/Syracuse vs Cincinnati/UCF with 1 at Noon and 1 at 330

It looks like Illinois @ Nebraska is the other 3:30 ABC or ESPN, so I'm thinking that goes to ESPN and we get the 3:30 ABC spot.

FS1 has a 7pm game already (Colorado State @ Boise State), so that other Big12 game would be Fox/FS1 at 3:30, competing with Oregon @ Cal for the network.

This is what I see:

Noon ABC: Oklahoma State @ Kansas State
Noon ESPN: Cincinnati @ UCF
Noon ESPN2: SMU @ Tulsa
3:30 ABC: ND @ Syracuse
3:30 ESPN: Illinois @ Nebraska
3:30 ESPNU: USF @ Houston
3:30 Fox: Oregon @ California
3:30 FS1: TCU @ West Virginia

good catch as i posted before mountain west were announced.

We win on Saturday or even lose close we should be 3:30 on ABC

 

[David321]

I’m confident it will either be a win or we cover. We almost pulled it off last season (albeit in the Dome) and we usually match up well with them. This game is where we aim for the ACC title.

 

[Chris02M]

if we win and don't have anymore year ending injuries things get interesting.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

A bit surprised Sparty-Michigan is ABC 7:30pm. And that Baylor-Texas Tech got 7:30pm ESPN2. Wish one of those got stuck at noon to leave it open for us.

 

[Chip]

I want 3:30. Need ND to win, us to, at a minimum, be competitive. SMU beating Cincy or ECU beating UCF would also be helpful. Cincy and UCF are both on the road.

 

[690West]

good catch as i posted before mountain west were announced.

What are your thoughts on SU94 post above regarding Georgia Florida being 3:30 on CBS and maybe they put us in 12:00 slot to not compete against that?

I think abc/ espn wants the best game of the 3 (us, Cincy, B12)to go at noon but it depends who get priority of the big 12 choice between fox and espn. If its espn im guessing there taking the big 12 game to be that game, which would leave or game to be at 330 otherwise it could be our game

330 ABC is the best outcome of course I think our game has more draw than UCF-UC even if that is 1 vs 2 in the AAC.

Doesn't Gameday factor into this too? If we get it they probably want us on at 330.

 

[JRHEETER]

How reliable is this source?

if we win, I'm getting a 2nd job to pay for my CFP trip
