Cal 10:30pm

[OrangeBowlMagic]

100% planned so Miami players will be asleep during the game. They could’ve put this in many other time slots. This is crap

If you think 19 year olds are asleep at 10:30pm, you don’t know many of them and it’s been a long time since you’ve been one. We’re fine.

We played a game at Arizona in 1991 that kicked off late, but it might have been 10pm and not 10:30pm.

Edit: it was a 10pm kick back in 91: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_Miami_Hurricanes_football_team

The '91 Canes had a magic powder to help stay awake....

Nothing like taking eyes off of your conferences Heisman contending QB. ACC just can't help themselves.

Was just coming in here to say this lol putting your only heisman candidate qb in your conference at a 10:30 slot is crazy lol

This is going to test the maturity of this team, playing a game at 10:30 for their normal circadian rhythms that will end around 2am. That’s not adapting to the time change, this is a terrible start time.

Bunch of mopes in here… gives the team another few hours to adapt to the long trip across the country y’all been fearing…

Soft

The decision to kick this game at 1030 is horse****.

What possible reasons could make this sound like a good idea.

1. Maybe a hyped Mami carries bigger numbers in the late timeslot, I get it that no one is gonna watch VT @ Stanford but people are going to want to see Cam Ward and the Miami offense.

2. Maybe the late AF kick ***** with Miami and they literally come out sleepwalking and lose. Which does nothing for the ACC except crater it

The slate is dookie that week. Literally the only other game that really looks to be decent in the SEC is at Noon and you got Clemson FSU which will be over after the 1st Quarter. I would have scheduled them at the same time that way when FSU ***** the bed you can get most of that viewership to flip over to Miami Cal to get some common opponent comparisons. Once FSU Clem goes south everyone is going to flip away from ACC matchups to other top 25 games.

Why place the game that is likely to garner the most national interest that week in the worst possible timeslot?

Yes I’m getting old hahah. I’m asleep by 9:30 most nights.

 

[Tony4Canes]

How many late games that day?

To me this isn't bad. Those that love college football, all eyes on game.

I’m not thrilled with the start time either, but it sounds a lot like we are building in excuses…

Good thing for us Cam, Cam, Meesh and Martinez all played on the west coast before …

10pm kickoff

 

[NCCanefan]

I can't drink that late, I won't sleep right. Either ESPN, the ACC, or both hate us and this is Exhibit A.

So don't sleep right one night.

 

[JD08]

They don't want to put us in prime time because that's where the Clemson-FSU game is going.

 

[The canesman]

Looks like with the time difference and cross country travel they want the canes to be off their schedule and tired come game time.

 

[scane]

Gonna need some TUDCA for my liver that day

Maybe one of the CIS lawyers can get a class action going for the liver damage this kick time will cause

 

[NCCanefan]

For those of you who are on twitter and saw the banter between Cal fans and FSU this week, the stuff they're going to come up with for playing us is going to be legendary.

I'm fine if Cal kids win banter week so long as we crush the football team

 

[JD08]

So don't sleep right one night.

If only it were that easy.

 

[CBurrr93]

**** we need AA in here. Kickoff time ruining drinking schedules

I have a 3 year old and a 19 month old. I am in no way, shape, or form old-shaming here . If I had to play football at 10:30pm, I’d retire. But we got a bunch of 20 year olds on a mission. We’re gonna be fine.

The networks set the times, not the league.

 

[NCCanefan]

Wonder if Cal will ever have to play a game with a noon kick on the east coast.....

No.

Who is the they ?
