Sux for people that have to travel.
I hope the TV exposure is really great.

How long to flights take? Leave in AM, game at night, flight back next day. How do they make 11 AM games?

Hope that game starts by 8 Central. If not, viewership will suck.

We've played a game on Thursday or Friday every year we've been in the Big 12 except maybe that COVID year, yet somehow people are always surprised when it happens again.

Better than CUSA Tuesday night games....
However, this could mean that ESPN thinks it will be a stinker of a game and no one will stay home to watch it...instead going on a night out at Applebee's and Steak-n-Shake....

Arizona does not observe Daylight Savings Time (good for them!). I don't think that works in our favor.

Big 10 and ACC both play Friday night games. Exposure is better than crowded Saturday schedule and allows conferences to maximize tv revenues

 

[TopFrog]

Not sure why the shock face.

 

[Frog Attack II]

Can't wait for a post in a few days about the schedule with an 11:00 a.m. game in September when it will be 100 degrees.

Wonder if eventually all Big12/ACC games will be on weekdays leaving Saturday open to a full televised slate of BIG/SEC games

I don't mind road games being on Friday nights just dont do that [ Finebaum ] for home games anymore. Trying to get to the stadium by kickoff for the Houston game last year was hell.

The big noon kickoff on Saturdays will be called the lunchtime lineup for Friday 11am kickoffs!!

Seems reasonable

Frogs were 2-0 last year in games that ended after midnight.
