Let's make them spend 4 hours in the hot summer sun for 2 meaningless tuneup games that nobody in the national audience cares about.

two to start the year. I wish it would be considered.

It's not even on TV. Just ESPN3

I seriously doubt ESPN cares what times they broadcast their non TV games.

Yep - glad to see someone mentioned that all games used to be at 1 - and a TV appearance was very rare. You can't have it both ways - some people pissed and moaned about lack of money and getting out of the ACC and blah blah blah, so now we've got the money and networks but lost the freedom to schedule things the way we want.

We'll be lucky if it's under 90 degrees at kickoff.

you can add 10-15 degrees to that for inside the stadium.

ESPN3 only. NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!! I have to attend a wedding that day and won't be able to record the game. I live in the country and don't have access to cable or high-speed internet.

Not sure about your internet situation but all games on ESPN3 are available all season long as a replay

12:30 kickoff times for games in September should be ILLEGAL

It's way too dang hot and a bad experience for ALL involved!

Re: 12:30 kickoff times for games in September should be ILLEGAL


May 15, 2015, 11:46 AM

This is why we need to schedule better opponents instead of cupcakes, then we might get a better TV option and time slot.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We have. Home and home with Aub and aTm for the next 4 yrs


May 15, 2015, 11:55 AM

We play two cupcakes every year no matter what.

We play ND this year and that's why we don't have a big OOC game.

Ain't it so! I remember EVERY home game being at 1

or 1:30 seemingly. Also remember ABC bringing in portable lighting to actually have a night game once upon a time. For you newbies, yes the Valley was not always lit.

So we should just do unpleasant things when better options


May 15, 2015, 1:38 PM

are available?

In the old days we couldn't have night games because stadiums didn't have lights. Now that stadiums have lights the only reason not to have night games when it's hot outside is old fuddy duddies yelling about tradition.

You gonna ride your horse to the game even though the car was invented?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

DV has had lights since both top decks were built...


May 15, 2015, 2:00 PM

Being able to play in the heat and humidity was once considered to be an advantage for the Tigers. But you're right, let's build an air conditioned dome stadium for everyone's comfort and convenience... SMDH

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: DV has had lights since both top decks were built...


May 15, 2015, 3:15 PM

Playing in the heat and humidity won't be much of an advantage against Wofford or App State, since they're both from down here too.

Also, why on earth would we need that advantage against them even if we had it?

It would make sense if we were hosting Ohio State or Minnesota, if that were the case I'd be all for a 12:30 kickoff. If I'm going to watch what is essentially a guaranteed beatdown though, I'd rather do it comfortably.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: DV has had lights since both top decks were built...


May 15, 2015, 3:39 PM

In theory, it's not about Wofford or App State, it's about being ready to play in those conditions whenever they may arise. The Orange Bowl game in 81/82 was a warm muggy night in Miami and Danny has stated in the past that Clemson had a definite advantage over Nebraska because of it. I'm not saying that's why we won the game, just giving an example of the importance of a team (and their fans) being ready to perform in any given conditions. But we now live in the era of entitlement, when fans believe their comfort is the primary concern. If that makes me an old fuddy-duddy, so be it (for the record I love night games...).

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The reason we traditionally had the 1:00 kickoffs was so


May 15, 2015, 2:39 PM [ in reply to So we should just do unpleasant things when better options ]

that people coming from the coast, Charlotte area, etc. could come to the game and drive back home the same day without having to pay for a hotel room.

Our admin has favored the early starts for years...for this reason.

Since it is Daylight Savings Time, which we older folks didn't have until around 1970, it is actually cooler on average for pre-game tailgating and the game than a 3:30 kickoff.

Why whould the conference dictate or even have a say in what time the Wofford game is played?


May 15, 2015, 8:33 PM

It's not going to be on TV, so why should they care. I think DRAD must have opted to have these games played at 1230 which is really dumb from a fans perspective. I remember TDP smartly starting some early season cupcake games at 330 which was better for everybody. Not near has hot and traffic is way better coming in. Not to mention you have time to tailgate. A 1230 Sept game agaist a SoCon team is just not taking fans considerations at all. Stupid.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Look at it as a couple of conditioning games


May 16, 2015, 12:54 AM

Yeah they will hurt some but our men will be in better shape because of it. A 7:30 game in Louisville will seem like a breeze in comparison. 3-0 and a solid start to a glowing season.
