Football Start Times
The Liberty game will be a 6:00 p.m. kickoff. The alumni magazine had it on the back cover last night and Liberty has changed it on their site as well. They initially had it as a 3:30 kick.
Rhode Island will be a 3:30 p.m. kickoff. Rhody has it on their site.
We had the start times for ECU (7:00 p.m.), Maryland (4:00 p.m.), NSU (1:00 p.m.), and UNCC (12:00 p.m. ugh). Now we just need to see what the deal is with our first three home games. I would imagine they will all be 6:00 p.m. kicks since it will likely still be upwards of 1,000,000 degrees out. The road games at the Pitt and UNC will come later since ESPN has like three weeks before the game to set the kick time in the ACC (someone correct me it I'm wrong). Who knows what Idaho will do.

I love night games, but 6 pm kicks make for a late drive home for me.

Last years were like 60-21 so I caught 4th quarter in the car on the way home.

ESPN windows are usually 12 days out (so 2 Mondays before a game) to pick a time slot. Some games they wait until 6 days out. Really hope they don't do that for us

RE: Football Start Times
I love the noon kickoffs. 6 PM is just too long of a day. When we play early, I'm home by 4 and still have the evening to relax and enjoy a victory. To me, college football is all about kicking off as soon as the clock turns PM.
Although I can understand the sentiments of those who work on Saturdays...

I agree. A lot of the Charlotte fans hate that all our game are at noon this year, but I like it. I don't mind the heat. We don't live in AZ or TX.
