Tailgating has sucked this year. 3 of the early games at 11 and then you had the mess that was the Iowa game. Don’t get me wrong it was great but the rain and Gameday threw everything off for normal tailgating.
TCU game time?
- Thread starter keepngoal
- Start date
Love the 11 am kicks. Man I'm getting old.
Trying to schedule a family birthday party that day. Was hoping for evening, but at least this way I can try to persuade those involved to have the party in the evening.
You can eat Supper right after the game then head to bed so you are well rested for your 4:30 AM Sunday Brunch with the Bridge Club.
I used to hate them and I am coming around on them as well. Yeah there isn't much time for tailgating especially for those of us coming from a couple of hours away but we also get home a decent time.
Have generally felt like night games are more beneficial for the home team, and 11am games more beneficial for the visiting team as well.
That stinks. I have to help with the High School team at away game that night in the booth. I guess my wife better have everything packed and ready to go when I get home at midnight!
I'm 28 and I'm starting to like them a little bit.
It's nice getting home at a decent time in the early evening/late afternoon to watch some games.
Maybe the 20 hour Iowa game experience has changed my mind a little.
I like them so can get home and catch some of the afternoon games & the night games.
If I'm going to a game, 2:30 would the be the prime time slot. If I'm home, I don't like waiting all day.
The AM kick is 100% because TCU laid an egg this weekend, and the matchup became less sexy. TCU wins, and we swap with that Bayor/KSU game, IMO.
That being said, AM kicks are not horrible. Just keep winning and we will get better windows.

Off topic: How does OU / KU get an ABC slot where we get the ESPNU slot? Do they even care about competitive games anymore, or is it all about hyping up brands? (Rhetorical)
Neither of those things are determined yet.
OU/KU is ABC OR ESPN -- along with Purdue/Penn State
ISU/TCU is ESPN2 OR ESPNU -- along with Kent State/Wisconsin
