Post your complaints about noon games here.

I feel like I am back in the first 10-12 years of the 21st century.
(However, generally, I like noon games. Get home a lot earlier.)

Well, Wake’s loss dropped them & us to a lesser prominent tv timeframe..

but it’s still gonna be one interesting & important game for both teams what with a high-flying Offense (theirs) vs a pretty dang good D (ours).
We’ll see~

Well there is always "Taking the noon stage out of Dodge", or 12 noon at the O.K Corral! Noon games are good if You want to watch the better teams in the country play in the afternoon, or the weather is nice and you can get in a quick nine holes of golf on away games. Noon day games do take me back to the days of Tommy Bowden ,where our only concern was beating the Gamecocks at the end of the year because we would always be just good enough to get a decent bowl game. Is that enough complaints?

Hate them. While we always enjoy the game, tailgating is the main reason we buy season tickets. It’s a social event. I’m okay with 3:30 or later and prefer a night kickoff. But, this is what happens when we have a substandard year.

noon games do add an extra element to the tailgate party.
We'll generally do a breakfast type meal as opposed to the more traditional offerings (i.e., French toast on the griddle, sausage links, bacon, hash browns, fresh fruit, and mimosas).
Someone will generally bring a bunch of Chick-Fil-A minis, Duncan Donut Munchkins, or some of those mini ham biscuits from Bojangles.

My biggest complaint is the traffic. Everyone trying to get into Clemson at once. My three hour drive sometimes turns into 4 plus hours.

Noon games are perfect for us older folks. Nothing prettier than blue sky early on a Saturday morning in Clemson.

No complaints here. For noon games, chick-fil-a biscuits in the morning is a new family tradition ever since Dabo said, “lets get up and eat a biscuit and be ready to roll at high noon…cause our team is gonna be ready.”

All depends on your age:
18-29 - 7:30 is favorite 30-59 - 3:30 is favorite 0-17, 60+ - noon is favorite
Just based on my personal experience and the people I know. I’m squarely in the 330 crowd now, don’t like noon mainly because very little time for tailgating & socializing

A lot is going to have to change in the next year for noon to become my favorite time. Remember, age is only a number. I used to drive 2+ hours to the games so 7:30 games were a little rough but now I’m only 25 minutes away and kind of like the late games. But the survey is right that 3:30 is probably my favorite.

...and never getting to go to a home game, I kind of like the noon games because I hate waiting for a 3:30 or 7 PM start. Whatever the game time is I'm always ready to pull for our Tigers!!!

Noon games are my favorite to attend and watch on tv........
Nov 8, 2021, 1:00 PM
|

If I'm attending it reminds me of when I was a kid and every game was at 1:00. You can still get home in time to watch the night games. And I like watching our game at noon because it gives me the rest of the day to do what I want. And this team is so frustrating to watch I feel like I don't get as stressed watching us play the early game.

I like 3:30 away games. Gives time to go hunting before the game Saturday morning and then not be up too late to get up and go hunting again Sunday.
