Game time for opener.......

[tngamecock#]

Anyone besides me think the start time sux? Someone goes to the trouble of scheduling this game at a neutral site in an effort to make it a big game. Good idea. It's big for us and big for State. I just wish it was a night game instead of the 3 pm start time. What's everyone else's thoughts? Do you like night games or day games better?

 

[jeff2001]

Totally agree, and it will more than likely be HOT. I'm personal sick of making charlotte, NC so much money.

 

[uscwill]

3 is fine with me. I can watch Bama and Florida State later.

I know it's all about the $$ but 3pm is a dangerous time for football in early Sept.

 

[Kitchenlabs]

When are we ever going to open at home on a Saturday? You know...the way it's supposed to be!

This!

It used to be cool when we were the very first game of the season every year and everyone got excited about it... now it is just a PITA, and 3:00- WTF?

I wish all games would be night games .

 

[Art__Vandelay]

On the early forecast, it looks like Charlotte will be 87 and sunny that day. Certainly won't be cool, but it could much, much worse. Looks like low to mid 80's in the week leading up to it

 

[cockofdawn]

i wonder if they will sell beer?? I didnt think they would, but i have heard rumor they will sell beer. Anyone know??

Un-like that idea. Especially in November.

They did for UNC game. Noda hop drop and roll.

Yes, they treat it just like an NFL game. They will have beer everywhere and the local beer garden will be open.

Like against Kent State? Think about the difference one game can make in the outlook of the season. We didn't need play State. Another guaranteed win makes so much more sense. The schedule is tough enough without this game. Granted we couldn't play another home game. It has to be 7 home and 5 away. However, we could have scheduled a terrible OOC team away or in Charlotte. Like Rutgers. Tennessee Tech, just some nobody.

I like the 3pm slot, it use to be the prime time for big games.


I also wonder what it would be like to schedule 4 cupcakes like miss st and some other SEC teams and their rival is a league game.

Has the Charlotte game helped us in any way recruiting in NC? I havnt seen it

I was thinking the same thing

 

[lazenge44]

If there is a noon game on, we likely miss the first half of the first quarter.

Very rarely will the casual fan see the payoffs in recruiting. No pun intended. When you get down to it, there is very little method to the madness of college football recruiting. At the end of the day, Champ and staff can sell the opportunity to open the season in an NFL stadium. And even though us old guys may not see it, this is a yuge deal to teenage kids looking to make it to the league.

Well i just try an go by the depth chart and look at the number of NC players listed. I dont see an impact. Also the college stadiums are so nice now im not sure if playing in an NFL stadium is as big of a deal as you do. I hope im wrong but i want to see our roster with more NC (Charlotte) athletes and Atlanta

One of the few things I liked about Dietzel's running the show was that all home games were at night except for Clemron. Even those in November.

3:00pm may be prime time in October/November, but not early September.

 

[E-Cut_22]

Guess im going by the CBS and ABC game of the week and those are 3:30pm games.

Sundays at 8:30pm ET may be prime time for NFL, but doesn't sound so prime at Gillette Stadium in December.
