I prefer 4:15 start time.

Holly, leave at 8am.

This is all contingent on the most interesting man in the world not attending this game. Kickoffs have been delayed to accommodate his tailgate parties.

With good weather I am guessing 17300 in attendance...it would have been 20k if the next week wasn't homecoming.

People can work a half day or get errands done in the morning. The game is over before 8pm which allows most people to get home between 9-10pm. Tailgating starts when the temperature should start warming up.

Yep, my son has a soccer game at Dekalb HS at 10am...4pm is perfect.

if the weather is good it will be a big crowd, heck it will be only the second home game in 7 weeks.

IF weather is good I bet over 20k. Students don't have to get up at crack of dawn. Alumni can get things done in morning and get out there later, Good weather brings fair weather fans like me.

Is this game on TV anywhere?

ESPN 3 most likely.

Do people even read the OP anymore?

No, they expect other people to read the thread and then tell them what's in it.

Just in time for the rainy pattern to return.

I am just happy it is not an 11 am game. Throws my whole day off. Would have to get up at 4 am to work out and leave by 6 to get to the game. The one benefit is perfect time for some good Bloody Marys!!!

I had the same thought. The weather's been too perfect this week for it not to rain next weekend!

Rain in the 10 day forecast for late next week. Yes I know it's too early to tell.
