Duke Kickoff at 12:20

Of course it is.



Sigh.

 

[MikeJackets1967]

I figured the Duke game would be a noon ACC Game of the Week

 

[Deleted member 2897]

Wow, this totally shocked me by 20 minutes.

Yet Wake Forest and the mighty Rice got a 3:30 slot.

Makes 0 sense.

Was that televised or available only thru ACC Extra online?

 

[AUFC]

I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you!

 

[Buzztheirazz]

Was considering coming back from Jackson for this game but...not happening with the 12:20 kick.

Win more so people would want to see GT play. Oh, media doesn’t matter, never mind.

You know. I get it where the better teams get later kickoffs, but there is no reason why GT should have more noon or noon 30 home games that any other team in the ACC for the past 5-10 years. Can anyone explain why we have more noon home games than teams like Wake Forest, Syracuse, BC, and Virginia over the past 10 years?

We have more televised games than teams on internet only (which might be later)

Pretty sure people have been clear with you they agree national exposure matters. They just don’t agree more coverage on Dukes and Bell matters.

You guys are missing the fact that these 12:20 kickoffs on Raycom are the "ACC Network Game of the Weeks" aka Not good enough for the first wave of ESPN pickings but too good for the Last wave choosings.

GT is constantly in the middle of the pecking order. If we were to rise or drop in the order we'd stop getting these Raycom games (like Clemson above or Wake Forest below)

Selfishly I prefer playing on the regional sports network so can listen to Wess Durham instead of an idiot on ESPN.

Local matters more. You want your stadium filled? Never mind. It doesn’t matter.

 

[RyanS12]

Question? Does anyone know if this is the “ACC game of the week”? My xfinity listing just says that. Doesn’t give teams.

 

[stech81]

Better than 12:00 not as good as 12:30

 

[Nook Su Kow]

Wow, this totally shocked me by 20 minutes.

Haha. I laughed out loud.

Your right. Dukes and Bell doesn’t matter. Whether they spend 5 minutes or 2 hours a show on Tech, that wouldn’t make any meaningful difference on Saturday. Night game on ESPN3 would bring more fans than noon in September even if Dukes and Bell did a telethon for Tech the week before.
