I have to drive about 6 hours to get there. Usually drive up and back same day as I usually have to get back to work. As a student they did not have lights back then so all games were early. It helped so after the game I still had time to do weekend class assignments.

One of the biggest rivalries in college football. People on boards just like to #### and moan. They act like it just happens to us Night games would be cool sometimes

That was actually an 11:00 am game in their time zone. Can you imagine how our fans would feel about that?

yesterday and UNC hasn't had a home night game since 2004 so it could be worse. According to them their admin doesn't like night games either.

Nope, it was either a noon or 3:30, all I remember was

being in the blaring sun the whole time, they were renovating the stadium and you couldn't see a corner of the field because they had moved the jumbotron up to the field on scaffolding (which you couldn't see from the visitor section). Was a crappy game to be at, and Ron Cherry screwed us.

Noon kickoffs are great. It is nice to get there in the morning, walk around and then have plenty of time to tailgate after the game and watch more football.
Also never understood the argument that noon games are bad if you have to travel to get there. You either leave really early for the noon game or if it is a night game you get home really late. Kind of a pick your poison.
Now a 3:30 game might be easier for driving but it is still going to be a long day if you are travelling 3 hours or more no matter what time the game starts.

I don't mind noon games at all but I probably like 3:00 games the best. Really don't like night games..... way too late getting home....

I'm not complaining!
