UNC-Duke game to kick off at 12 or 12:30
- Thread starter heelz2345
- Start date
Blame ESPN and the Big 10. ESPN/2/ABC assigned the Nebraska - Mich State game (boringgg, NU is awful) for 8 p.m. kick and mirrored the Ohio State - Minnesota game for an ABC 8:00 p.m. kick.
That left only 3:30 and 12/12:30 for the ACC.

A 12:00 kickoff in Wallace Wade is GOOD for the Heels ...Battlestar Gallatica overlaps this time frame so the only fans in the stadium will be wearing baby blue or a State Trooper uniform.
Clemson - FSU....
ACC assigned its best game from that week's slate to 3:30. All that was left was 12/12:30 national slots (ESPN/2) and then the 3:00 RSN, which I think Wake got because it's a low-demand game.
Well got to make way for crappy SEC games. By the way, what does UNC and Alabama have in common so far this year? Neither have beaten a current top 25 team. Wow.
I don't know why everyone is upset by this. I have been to the last two games. Beautiful weather. One game is against an in state opponent, the other against UNC's oldest rival. Result, plenty of empty seats. Pathetic.

How can you blame the B1G? Doesn't the network have total discretion as to which games to televise when? Looks like some favoritism being displayed to the B1G (14) , in a effort to get TWO playoff spots for their conference by putting their 2 most prominent undefeated teams on prime time display .....could there be some back door negotiating and non-contract "compensation" going on to accomplish that?? Seems like Swofford, and the similar reps of the Big XII(10), and SEC should be asking ESPN for some explanation of WTF is going on. Here's to hoping that the Cornhuskers and Golden Gophers both have GREAT games like Ga Tech did last Saturday night!!
I agree but see my post above. B1G games were selected by ESPN for primetime instead. Plus the Oklahoma game.
By "blame the B1G" I meant more like get mad at them for being so attractive for TV broadcasts because of large alumni (and thus potentially much more eyeballs) and larger stadiums which look more impressive on TV.
Got to be worried when our fans don't realize the game this year is at home. I don't care if it starts at 7:30 a.m. as long as we kick the azzes of those arrogant douche bags and their old codger coach all the way back to derm and I will be there.
Yes 58 .. be worried that I got confused. Sad thing is, I even have tickets to the game, ha! I'm headed from RDU to Pittsburgh this week ... will be in Blacksburg in a few weeks ... I'll get it all figured out by game time!
Agree that the Meeezcigan State/Nebraska game won't be for those with a weak stomach...
Minnysota/"The" Ohio State game will probably be just as boring to watch as well as the Gophers lost their Head Coach today as he stepped down due to health reasons, and the Buckeyes seemed to have finally figured out who their QB should be...
I very seldom if ever watch a B1G game because it is indeed too "Boring" for me personally....
I actually don't mind the early start time for Dook/Carolina because I can watch the game, and then take my wife out to dinner while the B1G is being showcased....
well if you had gone to derm it would have only been a short drive to Kenan ..LOL now if I could just remember where I left my cell phone.
That's terribly disappointing. By the way, I'll be coming with the fam and a couple of my buddies (one a duke fan) and their families. We'll have quite a few folks so I still don't know what our parking arrangements are. I'll post next week after I know and we'll see if it's convenient for any of us to get together during the tailgate.
Oh so you are one of the enablers. I will not allow dook or moo fans in my seats or in my car to the game....just me though.
I go to the duke/UNC game every year. My buddy gets the tickets when it's at Wallace Wade and I get the tickets when it's at Kenan. Despite being a duke guy (just a lifelong fan, not an alum), he's as good a friend as I've ever had. But I hear you on moo. I just choose not associate with those folks so having them at my tailgate would never be an issue.
Unfortunately the reverse of what Bleed posted will be true. A 12:30 (or earlier) kickoff in Kenan will negate any home field advantage we'd have against the dookies as the place will be half empty anyways (half full if I wanna look at it optimistically haha).
Although if both teams enter the game undefeated in conference and ranked, I would love for the Tar Heel faithful to show up in droves to serve me a nice pile of crow.

I got a feeling it will be a good crowd, particularly if we win tomorrow night. Shoot, even 'slinger is coming.
