Zero respect for GT however I don't think ESPN would have wanted that game at all. At least the Miami game in at 8:00

The game is on espn2 and actually the miami game is not at 8 anymore.

WHo cares about kick off times. Get over it and just enjoy some GT football.

Lots of people care about kickoff times. Hence the 4 page thread..

What time is it now? Just asked on the rivals board.....

Thanks for the info

Just announced the UNC game is at NOON. I'm done with this crap

Yeah, but what can we do about it?

Now that it's on a Saturday, it will more than likely go through the regular 12 day notice process with the possibility of a 6 day option.

Email Todd Tansbury. That's what i did.

I'm not sure there's anything even he can do about it. But it's a start, for sure.

The GTAA has no control on the start time. The ACC sold TV rights to broadcasters, and they set the game times. There is absolutely nothing that Stansbury can do about them.

You are correct, but I think he could still raise hell about it, letting them know that we have had more noonish starts in the past 5 or 6 years than any other ACC team. He can ask why that is the case.

 

[RyanS12]

Michigan only plays noon games at home and constantly puts 110,000 people in there and no one complains. Even when they were 3-9.

And the networks would respond that they are paying the ACC for the right to pick the game times, and that the ACC members agreed to let them pick the game times.

That's not true at all

 

[RyanS12]

That's not true at all

Which part?

He doesn't have to DEMAND anything; that would obviously go nowhere. But he could at least let them know that there is an obvious disparity.

 

[jacob]

Which part?

They don't play every home game at noon.

 

[RyanS12]

They don't play every home game at noon.

Ok, then 98 % of them. I've been to 20+ games in Ann Arbor and the only one Not at noon was the under the lights game in 2012 vs ND

 

[Lavoisier]

All of their home conference games were 3:30 last year. The only noon kickoffs were their cupcakes to start the year.

 

[THWG]

Michigan plays Ohio State at noon every year.

 

[Lavoisier]

That is true. The only time I remember it being a different time was the #1/#2 matchup in 2006. I remember it being dark but I don't remember if it was a 3:30 game or a night game.
