Pitt kickoff at 4p (RSN)

[g0lftime]

The best reasons to hope for a bowl game is the extra practices for a young team and a reward for turning the season around. Unfortunately I don't think it will happen but I sure hope I'm wrong.

I’m starting to think the rumors that Paul preferred noon games are true. This is great.

I am more inclined to think the new ACC network opened up lots more possibilities for all the ACC teams regarding kickoff times.

I feel like if it was his choice it was a good one. Just imagine the away teams, Being on the road having to wake up early, play in the Atlanta heat against the Triple Option.

He said multiple times he prefers noon games

I know that, but that doesn't mean that was the reason we had so many.

Both of these can be true. He did openly prefer noon games, but I really don’t think the ACC tries to cater to each coach’s preference. We have less noon games because of the ACCN.

It wasn’t a rumor.

ACCN having a 4pm game helps though.

I think every coach prefers early kickoffs. The truth is that no coach or AD has any control over kickoff times in this TV era. If Saban can't control it, no one can.

This won't be on the ACCN; it will be on FoxSS

Paul made no bones about preferring to play early, but he also said he had no influence. I think he would have played every game at noon fans be damned, but I also believe he wouldn't lie about it.

The odd thing is that RSN/FoxSS slot is normally 12:30p, but they don't have an ACC game. They get the last pick, so we narrowly avoided an early kick.

NC State @ Wake Forest, noon ET on ESPN
Boston College @ Syracuse, noon ET on ACC Network
Wofford @ Clemson, 4pm ET on ACC Network
Pitt @ Georgia Tech, 4pm ET on ACC RSN
Virginia @ North Carolina, 7:30pm ET on ACC Network

I guess they wanted a 4PM game rather than a nooner. I'm sure glad, not that I will be watching it, but driving up and back for a 4PM game beats the hell out of driving up early for a nooner.

Is every game other than the white out a gold out still? Just haven’t seen any push-maybe I missed it

Supposedly, yes.

 

[bobongo]

The reason I like the 4pm time is that it will be getting pretty dark by game end, and the skyline lit up in the background makes the ol' ballyard extra special.

Supposedly, yes.

It's about time for a blue out

No rumor, he said himself he liked them if I’m not mistaken.
