Perfect! Leave Homecoming alone, ESPN.

Nice.

Dumb tradition. Kick off at 6:30.

I like it!

Looks like we're getting a cool front just before this game. Weather looks to be glorious

This! I've never understood the 4pm kickoff when you can play on Saturday night.

Gotta allow time after the game for fundraisers to nudge visiting alumni sports fans into giving to academics.

I like the 4pm kickoff in November. At this point at 6-1, if we avoid ESPNU medaling with changing the kickoff to 11 or 2:30, we're doing okay.

I hate to mention it, but there's another game that night but it's in the 6:30 slot. At least we're not in directly competing times.

You don’t like giving to both??
I get asked by the Foundation to give to both. I like a front porch but prefer the house behind it.
I guess you’re just making a point but good grief. Supporting academics is what got us to R1 and will get us the next step. Not how well we did in tennis.

I don't like moving games to 4pm for that purpose, and I don't like the foundation serving two masters.

Foundation needs to focus on academics exclusively, not asking for both.

There are other reasons for a 4pm kickoff though

4pm kickoff for homecoming is great for me, it means I can drive in and drive out for this game and still get home at a decent hour, for me its almost a 3 hr drive and gets me home before midnight
