53 Pilgrims plus 37 were Native Americans.If there were only 53 Pilgrims and Native American who in the heck were the other 47 people? Vikings?
The Vikings were invited but couldn't make it they had a noon game!
Wtf kickoff times with an 11am game vs Ohio
- Thread starter ratking17
- Start date

That's right.The Steelers played that day too.Seems like I remember a Louisville game at home being 11am.I'm going to look it up out of curiosity.
That was because Texas A&M @ Louisiana Tech was hurricanes out earlier in the season and they made the game up that day. They gave it a 9PM EST start and did 11, 2:15, 5:30, 9. If not for that game, it would have been a nooner.
Looking at the schedule, I'd say that there will be a quadrule-header on ACCN in Week 4 also based on the number and types of games.
App St @ UNC
Central Michigan @ Miami
Ball State @ NC State
Old Dominon @ UVa
I'd guess that Elon @ Wake gets a ACC Network Extra, UCF @ Pitt gets noon on ESPNU, or quite possibly 8PM on ACCN and Charlotte @ Clemson gets ESPN2 or ESPNU.
There were some rumblings about Raycom keeping some of their Fox Sports South syndicated package. You know, the games that RSNs like ATTSN pick up. I wonder if a game like Elon @ Wake Forest, the type of game that would be a stream-only ACC Network Extra game would be televised as part of the Raycom RSN package. Also, there are 3 or 4 FCS scrimmages in Week 2 that didn't even land on ACCN. Some of these games could be Raycom RSN games as well.

Week 5 seems pretty cut and dry
Noon Delaware @ Pitt (Pirates are home)
3:30 Holy Cross @ Syracuse
7:00 Wake @ BC
Going to be so different to watch ACC Saturday night games. The ACC rarely had Saturday night games that didn't involve Clemson or Florida State

Yea, there's no way they are going to do 11AM games as part of a normal triple-header Saturday. Those will be noon, 4:00, and 7:30. BTW, I love how they are giving the noon game 4 hours to finish since games usually run longer than 3 and a half hours. I woulda done noon, 4, 8 but whatever.
Looks like only Weeks 2 and 4 for quadruple-headers this season. So, for this year and going forward, this will only happen a couple times in September. No big deal.
Yeah, I can see the quadruple headers only being in September when there are a lot of crappy OOC games. On top of that, they are trying to fit as many games on the network in order to get carriage. When a fanbase will miss a game on a channel they don't have, but puts a lot of pressure on the cable company.
Normally, I can't travel to games so I'm just glad they'll be on TV more.
From a player's perspective, 11 AM blows.

Everybody has complained about noon time kickoffs forever... Well, you got your wish.... It's now at 11:00 AM... So stop complaining....
good math there...lol...If there were only 53 Pilgrims and Native American who in the heck were the other 47 people? Vikings?
Maybe Narduzzi can use that to recruit against Big Ten, SEC, and Big 12 schools who play 11AM games multiple times per year.
I don't think players give a rats a*s about kickoff times. It's just the fans.
I think they care a little, but from a player's standpoint, it's really not a big deal. If it was, nobody would go to the Big Ten, Big 12, or SEC where 11AM kicks are a way of life
TV dictates when you play. But the whole pregame routine takes the same amount of time, regardless of the kickoff time. When you eat. What you eat. How you prep. All affected.
Players who care about 11 a.m. kickoff times are just looking for an excuse if they lose.
Well clearly 11 AM kickoffs have been hurting recruiting at places like Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M and Wisconsin for years now.
Why should we trust you??? It shouldn't bother them!
Oh I get it, it upsets their studies and academic endeavors. LOL!
I played college sports.
I adjusted to the schedule day, afternoon, night, weekday, & weekends.
So what it was just a schedule if you're a real dedicated athelete you get ready to perform according to the schedule.
Why should a schedule 11 am, 12 noon, 3 pm bother a college athlete. If you make the pros your schedule could be 1 sunday, 4sunday ,8 sunday, 9 Monday or thurs 8 pm or a game in Europe?? Fly back to the US time change, jet lag, play sunday at 1.
If it bothers college athletes it shouldn't Mr Trust Me!
If you worried about going out the night before, getting up early for an 11 am game, than you're not a dedicated athlete!
Players want to play in front of a bigger and livelier crowd. That’s an evening game, that’s not at 11am. No one wants to play football at 11am.
That shouldn't be the driver for a college athlete or for that matter a pro athlete.
At most venues 11 , noon, 1 pm might be a difference of 5k people.
Players play for the team and themselves not the crowd.
If you're only playing for the crowd, a full house, you should be a bench player not a starter!
Most college stadiums aren't full with the exception of maybe 30 programs!
Noone might not want to play football at 11 am but the game is scheduled for 11 am so they play!
I wish it were earlier. Gets me home early enough that I still have some of my day to do something. But this year, I may be missing more games than attending. Against UVA, I'll be on vacation in the Grand Tetons. Hopefully, I'll get to a few games.
that's one game I already have crossed off my list of games to go to. That ruins the whole day! This one I will sure just DVR and watch at 6pm.
Mrs Buffett and I will be there.
We come in Fridays now to avoid the squirrel hill tunnel Saturday traffic issues.
See all of you at the game!

What are you talking about you don't go to games , buy tickets, or donate to PITT sports.
What a fake!
Yet you tell others they're whiners for not liking 11am games.
I will bet alot that you won't be there.

And as I’ve told folks, I don’t live close enough to go to games. And I accidentally donated to athletics for Pitt’s day of giving so you can’t even use that anymore! Tough luck!
