Homecoming, playing a top 5 team, and this is the noon kick off????? Yuck.
I don’t think tv cares if it’s our HC or not. They see an undefeated team playing a very average at best team without a starting qb. Looking forward to a 0700 wreck parade followed by a 0900 rap concert. We should get around 35,000 in the seats.Have we had a noon kickoff game for homecoming in the last 20ish years? And now they do this with a Top 5 team traveling on the road in a legitimate upset bid? In favor of a 1-8 FSU team getting slaughtered at 7:30? Wut?
Best chance of winning for us is noon. Low percentage of favored teams cover the spread in noon games. We have to get them off to a slow start and figure out a way to handle the 2nd half onslaught when we tire.Have we had a noon kickoff game for homecoming in the last 20ish years?

This is assuming we don't come out flat.Best chance of winning for us is noon. Low percentage of favored teams cover the spread in noon games. We have to get them off to a slow start and figure out a way to handle the 2nd half onslaught when we tire.
I was just talking odds. If you're a betting man & there's no other significant variables, betting the dog in noon games is an above average bet. The bigger the line, the better the bet.This is assuming we don't come out flat.
The only way I see us having a chance at winning is for King, Jamal Haynes, Efford and the rest of the team to be fully healthy. If King can't go, I don't think we have a chance to beat Miami or uGA - possibly NCST either. You must score points to win a game, and the offense was anemic last week.
Noon is what I was hoping for, also. Woo hoo!I have a work engagement at 7pm, so I’m probably the only one here excited about the noon kickoff
What does FSU playing on NBC have anything to do with our game? Isn’t their slot locked in?Have we had a noon kickoff game for homecoming in the last 20ish years?

Imma be honest no matter what happens I’ll be shocked if the Dodd is below 40k today.Noon kickoff sucks but we've had good luck with kick times this season so far. Expecting a very tame, sleepy, unintimidating Bobby Dodd but I'm open to you guys proving me wrong.
Do t spread facts that ND is part of the ABC 7:30 time slot. Being put upon is much more comfortingWhat does FSU playing on NBC have anything to do with our game? Isn’t their slot locked in?
Also, how would any non-GT fans look at this game as a legitimate upset bid?
No, I'm with you. I have a bass playing gig that night, and was going to have to miss the game if it was anything other than a nooner.I have a work engagement at 7pm, so I’m probably the only one here excited about the noon kickoff
My sarcasm detector is ringing like crazy.Our bowl game could be down graded because of all our NFL prospects sitting out.
