This is BS. These away games are at 4 but we keep getting these early games.

These early home starts were baked in after our slow start and the NC State debacle. I thought our performance at Duke gave us an outside shot of a later game and I believe that if we had 5 wins right now it would have been but with half of Wakes team hurt and SU at 4-6 it is what it is. As Chip noted Pitt @ BC is a better matchup at least on paper although the Miami vs Duke game is a coin flip at best. One silver lining is the 12:30 start versus Noon, that extra half hour is a huge help in tailgating.

We were just talking about this. Sucks, probably the difference between making it to the game and not.
su duke was at 4.
Wow. Thanks a lot. These have to be the worst times for an entire season I can ever remember
Right but that time was announced before Duke got obliterated by ND and if you look at the ACC schedule this past weekend that was more about the ACC having fewer options (multiple teams on byes) then them rewarding Duke with a 4pm start. The only early game was a nooner for FSU who played some 1AA punching bag and the two 3:30 games looked like blowouts on paper and were exactly that. The final week there is no 4pm game and one of the two late games is FSU vs Florida on at 730 on SEC Network.
Had Wake not lost half their team to injury the past 2-3 weeks and SU able to beat a god awful NC State team we probably had a good shot at the 7pm ACC Network game that is currently UNC vs NCstate. I guess you could make a case for our game over Duke vs Miami as well but thats a hard sell when Miami is involved.
I get all that. Bottom line is the slug SU team was good enough to play at 4 on the road, but not at home.
Was really hoping to have a late afternoon slot with my family doing thanksgiving that day, probably could have made the game and made family happy. Now I have to disappoint family. Again
