I actually schedule my vacations around the home games. Get back from the beach the week before the season opener v. Ole Miss.
You sound like one of the good fans.

RE: Another 11 am kickoff..
I can't attend any games (football or basketball) which are not midday, so I'm glad.
It's September. In the Liberty Bowl. We play in Memphis. Sweat is part of the equation.

I want to see a link where an official at the University announces this .... if they did agree to it they are stupid, STUPID, STUPID.
So, I'm temporarily holding off indignation on this because I think Rudd is not this stupid , surely our AAC contract does not require us to move Div1aa games times to accommodate ESPN3!
I don't complain about real games on real TV being moved to 11am....but if they agreed to this they are STUPID AS HELL, only a MORON would agree to this.
Btw: the coaches probably WANT the change it gives them Saturday night off, this does not make them morons, only human.. Any AD with a lick of sense gives little or no consideration to what a coach wants as far as scheduling, they don't buy tickets.

Please let there be enough b*tching on social media to change this.
11a for an untelevised FCS game in 100F heat.
As opposed to a 2:30 game?
You realize the hottest part of the day is between 3 and 4 pm.
You want to be in the middle of a game at 4 pm, tailgaiting on concrete ass Tiger Lane at 4 pm, or at home (after an 11 am game) at 4 pm?
Because the only option of those three that keeps you away from the LB during the HOTTEST part of the day is the 11 am kickoff.
You people would find fault with a $100 bill.
Who said anything about 2.30p?
How about 7 or 7.30p?

That cannot be the reason. I wouldn't doubt that's the reason, but that's a very weak reason.

RE: Another 11 am kickoff..
Gripe, gripe,gripe. The time to be at a football game is when your team is on the field. The 11 am start means bloody Marys and mimosas plus breakfast food for tailgating. Get to Tiger Lane at 7 am to allow 4 hours of party time before kickoff.
I’m sorry for those with medical conditions, but as far as age, I’m 74 and I’ll be there for every home game. Come on and join me.

You can share the indignation I feel for this scheduling anytime. I sent an email to athletic office voicing my dissatisfaction. I suggest that those of us who see this as STUPID all do so.
