Oregon Kickoff Time

[C N Red]

What about like a cbs sports network? If a smaller network could pony up enough to get this game it could be a big win. But if it has to be disney family, is ESPNU a possibility?

Can't be (nor would we want it to be).

Updated "Marquee Games" on 9/17

 

w/o TV times

 

Oregon @ Nebraska

Colorado @ Michigan

UCLA @ BYU

NDSU @ Iowa

 

w/ TV times

 

Florida St @ Louisville 11:00 ABC

Pitt @ Oklahoma St 2:30 (no TV channel listed)

Alabama @ Ole Miss 2:30 CBS

A&M @ Auburn 6:00 ESPN/ESPN2

Miss St @ LSU 6:00 ESPN/ESPN2

Ohio St @ Oklahoma 6:30 Fox

Michigan St @ Notre Dame 6:30 NBC

Georgia @ Missouri 6:30 SECN

Duke @ Northwestern 7:00 BTN

USC @ Stanford 7:00 ABC

Texas @ Cal 9:30 ESPN or ESPN2

 

So ESPN and ESPN 2 each going with an SEC game kills the chance of a night kick as ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, and BTN are full.

A&M vs Auburn and Mississippi State vs LSU getting in over a Pac 12 vs Big Ten matchup?

 

C'mon man.

The rights to the Big Ten belong to ESPN/ABC this year. Random networks like CBS Sports Network or NBC Sports Network can't buy rights to individual games just to put them on prime time.

There's still a midday BTN slot, right?

[seaofred92]

This might be creative thinking but don't they still have the 9:30 ESPN/2 slot across from the Texas game available? 8:30 local kick? Fairly certain that teams in the central time zone have had this kick time before. Not likely since I think it'll be BYU/UCLA but depending on how well our administration can influence TV producers one would think that that slot is still in play.

 

In order of likelihood at this point:

 

2:30 CT

11:00 CT

8:30 CT

I am pretty sure the only time we have played the 8:30 kickoff was when we were playing on the west coast- UCLA/ Fresno State.

 

 

The fact we are playing a West Coast team might help the chance of getting a later kick, but i am not so sure on that.

 

 

I would imagine Memorial would be ROCKING for an 8:30pm kick... atmosphere similar to Miami a couple years ago.

The FSU game was 9:30 CT and 7:30PT

There is no way NU would agree to an 8:30 PM kickoff. There would be a lot of backlash from season ticket holders, especially those who live a further than an hour drive.

Hello 11:00 CT, or as like to call it - 9 AM Oregon time for breakfast

God forbid they have to get a motel room and drive back the next day. It's not like Motels quadruple the pricing in the Fall.....oh wait.

[HuskerNation1]

While I think the night-time atmosphere is ideal, if we have to pick between 11 and 2:30 I would take 2:30 assuming its nationally televised. It's unfortunate that our most difficult home game will not be at night, yet our most difficult road games will be at night.

[seaofred92]

to any and every person that thinks that it is impossible for the Huskers to play an 8:30 CT kick- games on the east coast routinely kick off at 8:00 ET and fans still somehow make it to and from the games. Personally, I would much rather the game be at 8:30 CT than 11:00 CT, I don't think it is likely since I think the UCLA/BYU game will go there but there's no reason that the BYU/UCLA game couldn't be at 3:30 ET (12:30 PT) and the Huskers/Ducks couldn't kick off at night.

[Minnesota_husker]

Wouldnt it be ironic that for the Oregon game we dont sell out because it is an 8:30pm start and too many people will miss their bed times...

 

So they have to announce to all our visitors that our Sellout streak has ended.
