[QUOTE="ClydeBrick, post: 344865, member: 1329"] The reasons we do not have huge GT-fan attendance are legion, and the point of this thread. The nooners probably contribute to this and many of the reasons that are stated in this thread. Many of those reasons are not unique to GT. There is no doubt that the TV people make decisions based on what pleases them, rather than what pleases a ticket holder. One thing that I would disagree with is the fact that CPJ's opinion does not matter. If GT - at CPJ's insistence - does not request non-nooners, then we should not be surprised when GT gets nooners. As evidence for this opinion, I offer this list of game times of a fellow ACC team in 2016: Friday 7:00 PM (H) vs Tulane Saturday 3:30 PM (A) vs Duke Saturday 6:30 PM (H) vs Delaware Saturday 3:30 PM (A) vs Indiana Saturday 3:30 PM (A) vs NCS Saturday 7:00PM (H) vs Syracuse Saturday 3:30 PM (A) vs F$U Saturday 3:30PM (H) vs Army Saturday 3:00 PM (H) vs UVA Saturday 7:00 PM (A) vs Louisville Saturday 7:00 PM (H) vs Clemson Saturday 3:00 PM (H) vs BC Who is this football powerhouse that gets an entire season without nooners? Wake Forest. One of those games is a non-nooner, by design and three were against teams that were media darlings last season. The rest were meh games, matching up meh teams having meh seasons (Wake finished 7-6, 3-5 in 2016). What lead to this 2016 schedule? In 2015 Wake was 3-9, 1-7 - they did however have four nooners in 2015, three were at home. In fact, the mighty Deacons were waiting for 3:30 PM to roll around to take on the Mountaineers of App State at App State while GT was playing a conference game at home at noon. The good news is that the Deacons eked out a win by blocking a last second field goal. ACC, ACC, ACC. While this is not proof-positive that CPJ's opinion has influence on the matter of nooners, I believe that there is evidence here to indicate that CPJ's game-time preference - hence GT's - probably has something to do with it. That or the Tobacco Road Mafia really, really hates GT or there are way more Wake Forest football fans watching across the country that I give them credit for. BTW, Wake's earliest start so far this season was a 1:00 PM game at BC, next week they play F$U at home at 3:30 PM. Then they play Clemson. Wakes first nooner this season might be against . . . GT.
