[QUOTE="TechCubed, post: 649190, member: 491"] With all due respect, I'm not sure "admitted" is the right context. I don't think his preference for early kickoffs was something he was hiding. The rationale was combination of not sitting around all day waiting and also for coaches/players to have time with their families after the game. I remember him saying after Wake game was set for a night game in 2017 that he understood fans' preference to have a variety of start times during the course of the season. Not sure whether he said it on or off the air at the first radio show, but CGC expressed a similar sentiment about early kickoffs, especially on the road. Again, the head coach has ZERO input on the kickoff time. CPJ could have demanded noon kickoffs, and TV could have decided to make every one of them at 7p. Prior to the current TV deal, there were some limited opportunities to set kickoff for non-TV games, and GT had some early kickoffs as well as moving some openers to Thursday night. Personally, the 4p kickoff time is my favorite and reminds me of being in school in 90s when we played in that ABC regional 3:30 time slot regularly. Plenty of time to tailgate before the game and get home in time to watch lion's share of evening games. [/QUOTE]
