ACC announces 6 day hold for Wake Forest game time

Full Story »

6 day hold just to give us a 12 noon game?***

Wake plays ND


Oct 31, 2011, 12:27 PM

Doesn't matter if they win or lose our game will still basically be for the Atlantic. I guess if they beat ND our game will be more attractive. I hope they destroy the Irish but it is not likely.

F- the ACC, now way a game to decide who wins the division


Oct 31, 2011, 12:24 PM

should be at 12. All of our important games at home they make us play at noon, but when we go on the road they are night games. F Swofford and the ACC.

more interested in our game if we were playing FSU in a winner takes all game for the Atlantic.


But we are playing WF.

This isn't even winner takes all


Oct 31, 2011, 2:39 PM

Even if we lost to Wake next Saturday, they could still lose the next week and give us back the division if we were to beat NC State.

Not saying it'll happen that way but this one only fully decides the division if Clemson is the winner.

Yes Wake! A one loss acc team playing another one loss acc team. Fla. St. and Miami have how many losses between them. Wake has a better chance to play in the ACCCG than Fla. St or Miami does....

If you don't get that Miami vs. FSU has more national appeal

appeal than CU vs. WF then you are doomed to a life of believing that there is a conspiracy against the Tigers.

WF will likely be 5-4 when they play CU. They will likely

The ND game has nothing to do with the ACC championship

That game should have no bearing on our game time. Swofford is a c***su**** and will try and screw us any way he can.

Lots of hold. CU has a reputation of lossing a game to a

team they should not have.

The TV executives are not "all-in". They don't know that this is a new CU.

Even worse is all the 12:00's we've had to endure.


Oct 31, 2011, 12:34 PM

A 3:30 would work for me. But once a year a night game would be great too!

The ACC plays favorites that's why I wish we could say goodbye to all those wine and cheesers and all their BS.

Re: Even worse is all the 12:00's we've had to endure.


Oct 31, 2011, 2:25 PM

I kinda like our Noon record for this year. We don't really do to well at night.

Stick for the early time. Players dont have all that time during the day to let their mind wander. Focus on the task at hand.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We do not do well at night because we play them on the road


Oct 31, 2011, 3:47 PM

Maybe the record would be better if we had some of the night games at home.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Alumni hate night games


Oct 31, 2011, 2:44 PM [ in reply to Even worse is all the 12:00's we've had to endure. ]

The students love night games, the alumni, not so much. Clemson, SC isn't exactly the easiest place to get in or out of. Plus, almost all of our fanbase/alumni have to travel. After a night game, the fans are still stuck in traffic at midnight. Even if they only have to get to Greenville, they won't get there until 1:00AM.

Night games are a relatively new phenomenon at Clemson. IIRC, Clemson didn't play at night until 1992 (first in-conference FSU game).

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

wrong. I live in CLT and love night games. Just get a hotel***

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Does anyone know the pecking order for the networks?.....


Oct 31, 2011, 12:36 PM

obviously the 3:00 RSN game is the last pick and the 12:30 JP is the second to last pick, as those games are determined.
My guess is the 8:00 primetime slot is determined first, but then is it 3:30 regional or 12:00 national that gets to pick? I assume ESPN or ESPN2 and ABC pick before ESPNU does.

If this is the case, I think that whatever Miami and FSU do will determine it. If they win and potentially take the 8:00 slot that they have an option for, then our game will go to whatever slot is next, but I'm not sure which one that is. Anyone know?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You are right except that ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU are


Nov 1, 2011, 9:54 AM

all equal. They are one company. The company choses the highest profile game for ESPN at 8:00 p.m. and then work their way down from there.

They want a nice "opening act" for their national noon game.

They want games of regional interest at 3:30.

They want games of national interest at prime time.

They put their left overs on ESPNU.

They have the "first pick" rights to most every NCAA game in the country. They chose game times in order to get the best ratings so they can sell their commercial time for the most money.

There is not a conspiracy against the Tigers.

If Miami vs FSU does not make the 8:00 p.m. "cut", they will move down to the 3:30 regional slot and Clemson vs WF down to the noon slot.

LOL...really?


Oct 31, 2011, 12:57 PM

God...I thought they could only do the 6-day option to a team's home games once per season.

I'm fine regardless though. Clemson has been magic at noon so far (the wins over Auburn and North Carolina) and if this is a noon game then we clinch the division at high noon!! GO TIGERS!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

GO TIGERS


On the bright side.....


Oct 31, 2011, 1:23 PM

we can win the nooner and then watch the bottom line say "Clemson clinches Atlantic Division" for the rest of the day.
Not to mention that we will equal the Gamecocks win total from last season (one of their best ever) with 4 games still remaining.

Beat Wake, clinch division.
Beat NCSU, get first 10 win season in a long time.
Beat SCAR, win state championship, get first 11 win season in a long time.
Beat VT/GT, win ACC championship for the first time in a long time.
Win Orange Bowl.

Go Tigers.

Re: On the bright side.....

And if we beat Wake and NCSU, we can go into Columbia with as many wins as their best team ever.

Re: Translation: Nooner. The only way this game goes off at

Actually, I believe Noon is rated higher than 3:30 by the TV people.

Noon is national and 3:30 is regional.
