Tailgating has sucked this year. 3 of the early games at 11 and then you had the mess that was the Iowa game. Don’t get me wrong it was great but the rain and Gameday threw everything off for normal tailgating.

Probably when we get to November. Then all of them will be.

Trying to schedule a family birthday party that day. Was hoping for evening, but at least this way I can try to persuade those involved to have the party in the evening.

Have generally felt like night games are more beneficial for the home team, and 11am games more beneficial for the visiting team as well.

We need a sunny, breezy morning to dry off the dew because the grass has been taking a beating this season in the rain and dew.

We used to get 11am games because we suck. Why are we getting 11am games now that we are so much better?

That stinks. I have to help with the High School team at away game that night in the booth. I guess my wife better have everything packed and ready to go when I get home at midnight!

Love the 11 am kicks. Man I'm getting old.

I'm 28 and I'm starting to like them a little bit.

It's nice getting home at a decent time in the early evening/late afternoon to watch some games.

Maybe the 20 hour Iowa game experience has changed my mind a little.

I used to hate them and I am coming around on them as well. Yeah there isn't much time for tailgating especially for those of us coming from a couple of hours away but we also get home a decent time.

If I'm going to a game, 2:30 would the be the prime time slot. If I'm home, I don't like waiting all day.

Off topic: How does OU / KU get an ABC slot where we get the ESPNU slot? Do they even care about competitive games anymore, or is it all about hyping up brands? (Rhetorical)

Neither of those things are determined yet.

OU/KU is ABC OR ESPN -- along with Purdue/Penn State

ISU/TCU is ESPN2 OR ESPNU -- along with Kent State/Wisconsin
