I know it is scheduled for Friday on one of the ESPN channels..But when will kickoff be or when will it be announced ?

Probably an early kickoff. Rarely do we schedule Nov games at night.

ESPN will be driving the bus.

Expect 11:00

I forgot about it being the day after thanksgiving...so I was thinking night game.

Not sure it has been officially announced but for some reason I remember hearing 2:30 kickoff. Again, just my fading memory recalling background noise.

Not yet announced. Even within our athletics dept. they expect it to be 11:00am

If it's not a morning kickoff I'll be surprised. A night game would be excellent.

After about the 3rd week of the year Espn never sets times until 10-12 days out. Same as the lsu game.

Western and Marshall had that day after Thanksgiving game last year....it will be a 11am start . Can't see espn scheduling it any different than Fox

I wouldn't mind it being 2:30 so I would have more time to drive from N LA then enjoy a little tailgating. 11 am kicks are the worst

USM will lose a lot of money on ticket sales for this Friday game, far more than will be offset by tv revenue. We should have told espen and coda to kiss our you know whats and play on Sat afternoon. Our fan support has returned as exhibited by the crowd last Sat and losing the game ticket sales and concessions will sting.

I'd tell you that Tech fans will travel well.

But we all know that Tech doesn't have fans.

And bringing full band and spirit squads. This could be a good away Tech crowd.

3 weeks out from the game. ESPN or whomever needs to get off their duff and announce a kickoff time.

Normally doesn't have to be set until the Monday a week before the game (November 14 in this case).

Strange, ESPN Ap shows Thursday game. Surely this is an error

^^^^^^^*This
North Texas and La Tech really should develop into a nice rivalry game. When both Universities can send full bands and spirit squads on a relatively short road trip, not to mention a short road trip, it just makes for a great college football game atmosphere. Hopefully UNT can start being competitive and make for an exciting game.

Planning to be there with 4 others. Leaving Lincoln Parish at about 6:45. Provided it is 11am kick as some on the inside expect.

My wife and I will be driving over to Hattiesburg from Baton Rouge that morning. An 11:00 kickoff would work out just fine for us.
