ColoradoHusk Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 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. The tickets would be sold, it would be just some empty seats. Big distinction. 2 Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 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. Late games are more "accepted" on the eastern time zone. It's just the way it is there. Late games aren't normal in the midwest, so fans wouldn't like it. ESPN/ABC can choose to televise the UCLA/BYU and NU/Oregon games on at the same time since they are in separate conferences for the home teams. Quote Link to comment

Television listings for the start of prime time shows are always "8, 7 central" the local new comes on at 11 PM. Report to work at 9 AM not 8 AM Quote Link to comment

Report to work at 9 AM not 8 AM For the gaining magnitude of recruiting this game means, an 8-830pm game shouldn't be a complaint, except for those who don't understand. Edit: not that anyone is complaining, but every Husker fan should be willing to accept this as a late game, if it came to it 1 Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Sorry to sqyash the 8:30 CDT kick fever, but ESPN and ESPN2 both have games kicking at 6:00 CDT. That would mean a 9:30 CDT (more likely 9:45 CDT) kick for the game after. And Texas @ Cal has one of those slots filled. I would think the other would be UCLA @ BYU. Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 We played Mizzou in 2008(???) as a 8:15ish kick. And Chase Daniel killed us. Quote Link to comment

I am aware of how the sellout thing works. I was trying to be funny. Quote Link to comment

Rusty Shackleford Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 This wouldnt be an issue if we won more games last year. Oregon did us no favors playing like crap against TCU in the bowl game, now nobody outside of Nebraska and Oregon want to see this game. Quote Link to comment

Oregon did us no favors playing like crap against TCU in the bowl game, now nobody outside of Nebraska and Oregon want to see this game. I don't think this is true. 11am games are problematic for the west coast fans because those games start at 9am over there. This game will be a 2:30 start on ESPN2. I'm sure. The west coast would definitely tune in to this game as long as it's not an 11am kick. Quote Link to comment
STL Husker Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Are we really hoping to play a 9:30 game or be on FS1/2 or CBS sports network just to accommodate a few recruits? I would much rather have the 2:30 ABC slot than be on a time or channel that no one will watch us. Quote Link to comment
Army_Allen Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Who is this Noone? I'm gonna watch no matter the time and most husker fans will. But if a later game means we get 8+ big cali recruits able to come to the game, I'm game for a later start. 1 Quote Link to comment
