Does anyone know when we typically finalize the times for our home football games? I'm trying to make travel plans for our 10/13 game vs. Toledo, but kickoff time has not yet been decided. Thing is, if it ends up being a night game, that would significantly impact my itinerary.

Three other homes games have undecided kickoff times as well.

is it possible that the Toledo game will be televised? if so, the decision might not be made until a week or two before the game.

if it's not a television thing, then i have no idea.

If EMU plays day games, I could see UT vs. EMU being the MAC game of the week. For Toledoens that is shown on ABC.

I would guess that all the games will start between 1-3pm

Don't know if anyone else reported it here.. but the EMUEagles site(http://www.emueagles.com/schedule.aspx?path=football) did update a couple of the times for the home games(at least it's the first time I've seen a time for the Ill State game):

Illinois State - 1:00 PM (home opener for U of M same day at 3:30)
Kent State and Army - 1:00 PM

Toledo, Central and N. Illinois are still TBA

I was thinking we should have more late start game around 6:00pm to get more students and community fans to come out to support this team. Then we would be the only show in the area and not compete again the U of M games. This would also allow EMU to combine football with another sponsored event. Anything to get cheeks-in-seats.

The home opener is usually a night game. I have no clue why it's scheduled at 1 p.m., two hours before Michigan kicks off in Ann Arbor. This makes no sense to me.
