UNI/IOWA Football Gametimes Announced
- Thread starter hawksuck75
- Start date
I'm guessing the UNI game is whatever time ESPN+ wants it to be.
In 1974 we played at 3:30pm against Washington. That was the first I found actually at 3:30pm
Or they have realized that 2:30 start times no longer work for football as college games always run long. Amazing what happens with college games when clocks stop after first downs, all the booth reviews, etc.
I went back to 1921 because before that the data for game times is pretty fuzzy.
1946 we played Colorado at 3:30pm
So in 2021 we are going to double our 3:30pm kickoff times from 2 to 4 and it will have been 47 years since the last one.
That whole day on ABC has been moved back an hour. 11:00 game will now be at noon, 2:30 moves to 3:30, and 6:00 moves to 7:00.
Its a one-time thing due to the 9\11 special, but damn if i wouldnt prefer that change. End 11am games.
Yes, every time a "round number" anniversary of 9/11 is on Saturday it will probably happen.
For reference, this doesnt happen in the next 100 years.
I don't have ESPN+ or CBS Sports Network, so I'll be spending some bucks to watch the UNI and UNLV games I guess. All these channels suck!!!
But it will all be worth it to watch the Clones kick UNI and UNLV's arses up and down the field.

That'd go in the books as a 1:30 kickoff, since it was played at Washington. Local time (at the game site) is normally the time of record.
I don't know, I went to college in the eastern time zone and have always preferred 11 a.m. games to noon games.
Although I'm biased because I've rarely had to travel a significant distance on Saturday mornings for games
