Bad time-- a lot of students won't be up and many families with other events going on at same time. I think last week's drubbing will also keep the casuals away. Miami fans won't travel.

I never understand why people think Noon kicks are so hard for students. We never missed a Noon kick...It just meant we started drinking earlier. Noon Kicks were great... wake up early and drink, go to the game, Nap, Go out at night.

Night Games can be a tougher sell for students, especially the entire game. By halftime, the parties are starting, and Bars will have girls... so students leave.

Maybe because the evidence shows we have better student turnout at night.

I am in the minority on this, but I am more of a 3:30 kickoff guy myself-- especially for a game like this one. If people have other obligations that day they are usually done, and it allows time for people to go out after the game if they want.

I agree 3:30/4:00 games are probably my favorite time slot as well. Not so early that you have to do a tailgate of kegs and eggs but also not so late that you can't schedule other night plans. The best IMO are a variety throughout the year which we have a good amount of it seems like. A few noons, a few Nipp at Nights, etc.
