Game Times
What's the best start time for games from a fan and tailgater view ? 1-2PM or later in the day or evening ? Last year UNT's games with the exception of the final vs Kansas State were 6:05-6:30PM starts. The K-state game was 3:05PM.

IMHO 6PM starts are much better that 1-2PM. What are your thoughts ?

RE: Game Times
All personal preference. I like evening games early in the year so the sun goes down and you're not sitting in the sun and heat, just the heat! Later in the year, like late November early December, a 6 PM start is just wrong.

But I am usually driving 2.5 hours there and back on home games, so mid-afternoon would be best for getting back home at a decent hour.

Due to the heat in S. Florida, 7PM EST games are MUCH more comfortable. 4PM Est are tolerable. 1pm are BRUTAL.

Course I also like making the oppsosing team sweat it out in the heat and humidity that our guys are used to playing in.

Arkansas State and FIU fans are both pretty high on their teams this year, both come to Murfreesboro this year, both have never won in Murfreesboro.

Will be interesting.

I'm not making any predictions on MTSU....I just think we'll give you guys a game this year. Something we haven't done in Murfreesboro.

With the teams we're each bringing back this year, there is no reason for a Red Wolf fan to expect anything less than a highly contested game. If for some reason, we blow you guys out again, you have to start investigating the cause of the curse, because a curse is about the only explanation I could come up with at that point.

We might just blame it on the Bell Witch.... :yikes:

I like evening games in Sept and October, but as it starts to get cold in November I prefer afternoon starts.
