Game Times Announced!

[wocorebel]

I have recently learned that Wofford is going to host next week against Richmond and I want to know what time kickoff is going to be. I have Duke v. Davidson basketball tickets for Saturday at Noon and want to know if I have to sell or if I get to go to both games. I would think that Wofford could get a later game being that we are going to be in the warmest climate. Please let me know if anyone knows.

[ASU88]

Times will be based more on working out TV schedules than climate. Don't look for times until all games are over and the TV games are set.

In my best Mr Chicken voice:

Son, I mean, Son!
------------------
I hope earlier. sell the ticket regardlessxrotatehx

[skinny_uncle]

I hope the NCAA has the sense to give the Salukis a day game. There is a basketball game Saturday night in Carbondale with the Hoosiers that is already sold out. If they try to schedule a night game there, the crowd will be pretty thin.

[dungeonjoe]

I didn't think ESPN was televising any until the semis.xconfusedx

[FCS Preview]

TENTATIVE STARTING TIMES:

2:30 PM
4:00 PM
6:00 PM
9:30 PM

[appfan2008]

Other channels than ESPN show the playoffs... and they can also pick the times... they probably wont be announced till late tomorrow or monday

[wocorebel]

Just don't give Wofford the 2:30, any of the other times would be just fine with me. I would be able to watch two of the things I love, Duke basketball and Wofford football.

[appfan2008]

TENTATIVE STARTING TIMES:

there is no location where a 930est time will work...

TENTATIVE STARTING TIMES:

2:30 PM

That seems ridiculous- anyone ever heard of starting a game at noon? xconfusedx

That would put the last game at a much more reasonable 7:00PM, if they must be staggered.

2:30 would work fine for SIU.

[matfu]

glad the southern conference, and particularly wofford, will get a home game. if mcneese loses AND wofford beats richmond, app state could get another three games at home in the playoffs. AMAZING!!

Those are probably EST times, if there is a game in the central, pacific, or mountain times it wouldn't be that late.

[FCS Preview]

9:30pm EST would be only 7:30pm in Missoula.

...oh wait...

[appfan2008]

if wofford or richmond win and asu wins... asu will get that home game!

speculation is fun, but today we have learned a lot about counting chickens and hatching and stuff...get past next week first

[wocorebel]

if wofford or richmond win and asu wins... asu will get that home game!

Maybe, maybe not. It seems to me that Wofford wants to host as much as it can and will bid accordingly. I know App has a bigger stadium, but I think Wofford would rather run it back again at Gibbs. Wouldn't App like an opportunity to prove itself at Gibbs?

bids and stuff were submitted before the first game. I doubt seriously the NCAA would pass on the Kidd-Brewer cash cow.

[Mountaineer]

Nice try spinmeister. xlolx xthumbsupx

I think ASU would much rather have another shot at Wofford in Boone. Providing both teams even make it that far, which, at least for ASU, I have doubts about. :D

[Saluki_man]

I didn't think ESPN was televising any until the semis.xconfusedx

ESPN might as well broadcast the UMass@SIU game, they will already be in Carbondale for the men's basketball game.

Anyways if the NCAA is smart they will put that game on at 2:30. Attendance will be better in the afternoon, because of the aformentioned basketball sell out.

UMass in the afternoon and the Hoosiers at night. Quite the double header!
xthumbsupx

[KiddBrewer]

1) Wofford WILL NOT outbid appalachian for a home game
2) We wouldnt care where we won, as long as we won.
3) I dont care what time the game is as long as its not 12 again.
4) Atleast this round ESPN can't show any sorry games.
5) Id like to see a UNI game from the dome
6) The NCAA isnt smart, so dont expect to much out of their planning
7) As for ESPN, see number 6

[Ud1Hens]

What time do you see the Delaware @ Northern Iowa game being played?

[Reed Rothchild]

What time do you see the Delaware @ Northern Iowa game being played?

I'm thinking its going to be the late game. Farley said on the postgame show that they wanted it at 6:30.

[HI54UNI]

During the post game show our radio guys said that times will be announced at 2:00 p.m. tomorrow.

[Ud1Hens]

I'm thinking its going to be the late game. Farley said on the postgame show that they wanted it at 6:30.

Is that 6:30 in CT or ET? Thanks, should be a fun atmosphere to be apart of.

[UNI Pike]

6:30 CT (7:30 ET)

[JayJ79]

there is no location where a 930est time will work...

Would make sense if EWU was hosting. But if they outbid App State (given their average attendance of just over 5500, compared to ASU's 27000....)

my guess is that the TENTATIVE starting times will be adjusted.
the late game will most likely be UD @ UNI, starting at 6:30 central / 7:30 eastern.

Give the UMass @ SIU game a noon/1pm or a 1pm/2pm start and the other two games spaced out in the afternoon/early evening.

EWU @ ASU 12noon et

UMASS @ SIU 3:30pm et

all games will be on espn gameplan...

why does ASU game have to be at noon???

Yuck! Ptooie!

Whoever planned the ASU kickoff time ought to be taken out back & shot!

It's hard to tailgate when the game starts at noon. If we tailgated, that would put lunch about 10:15. Yuck!

[KiddBrewer]

why do we keep getting screwed?!?!xmadx xmadx

[Screamin_Eagle174]

ESPN better freaking televise the EWU-Appy game since we got screwed on the time... sheesh... that would mean getting drunk by 10... I don't even get up until noon! Bastards!

Wait - another thread says ASU/EWU at Noon pt!! This makes more sense. 12 Noon ET would be 9:00 am in Washington. 3:00 in Boone is fine with me.

[appfan2008]

we certainly dont deserve to get the worst time slot everytime like this... it is just ridicules... i guess we will just have to take care of business whenever they make us play even at noon in the playoffs...

[bcrawf]

Not too happy in Cedar Falls either...

ALL of our start times are late afternoon/evening, we lobby for that time and we get stuck with a 1:00 local time kick, WTF?!?

[dgreco]

are any games gonig to be on espn/2/u?

[Mn_Moose]

Sat forecast for Cedar Falls is 26 and partly cloudy. Coldest day of the week. but, should be nice for tailgating for an early afternoon game. We don't get many of those.
BTW, game conditions will be 72, no wind and LOUD

[KiddBrewer]

theres no way they show the game at 12pm....that would put it at a 9am start for the people in washington.....they arent that dumb are they.....3pm EST maybe?

[appfan2008]

Wait - another thread says ASU/EWU at Noon pt!! This makes more sense. 12 Noon ET would be 9:00 am in Washington. 3:00 in Boone is fine with me.

where did you read that/ God I hope so...

[kalm]

are any games gonig to be on espn/2/u?

My question exactly. Game plan through comcast is $79.95.

[appfan2008]

the csn website has it listed as noon et... i sure hope not though

[FCS Preview]

All I know is that is the press release I got from UMass...

[EdubAlum]

ESPN better freaking televise the EWU-Appy game since we got screwed on the time... sheesh... that would mean getting drunk by 10... I don't even get up until noon! Bastards!

why not just go to the game and then it won't be so early? :-)

[FCS Preview]

My question exactly. Game plan through comcast is $79.95.
Per game? Or for the whole season?
IIRC DirecTV lets you purchase individual games for a fee...nowhere near $79.95

For example, an NFL game is $44.99 per game but the whole season I think is $249.

[biggie]

Damn noon games, screwdrivers were hurting at 9:30am this past week.

According to my DirecTV scheduling, MASN has Playoff games scheduled at 12:30 and 3:30 et. I'm sure they will be adjusted, but looks like they are trying to carry 2 of the games.

EWU has it listed as 9:05PM PST on their site also...

[UNHWildCats]

im sorry for the ASU fans who think their entitled to the best of everything, but theres 2 seeds hosting as well as the team that won your conferences auto bid and they deserve better time slots ahead of you.

Perhaps it's more than that. Perhaps we think it's unfair that EWU fans have to watch the game at 9am. With that said, I don't like it because I have a client appointment at until 12, so I will probably miss the game.

[FCS Preview]

ASU-New Hampshire, 12pm ET would be fine. But they are also saying it sucks for a West Coast team to have a 9am game...

[APPride]

switch to bloody mary's? :)
BTW, do we all have to be so worried about getting hammered? @ 1st I was against the 12 noon start this past weekend, but ended up liking it. Now I'm thinking lets just get it on...playoffs are the time to focus on the football, not just about getting smashed...then again I'm not as young anymore to think good times have to = inebriation...

[appfan2008]

i never drink before games...

it is about the football not being wasted!

[wocorebel]

I don't care, just keep the Wofford game at 7, all of the other games can be whenever the hell they want them to be.

[BestOfBreed]

EWU and their fans get the shaft. I doubt anyone on the committee has the intelligence to find Washington state on the map much less understand things such as time zones.

[AppMan]

WHAT THE HELL???

WHY ARE WE AT NOON AGAIN???

My guess is ASU & Wofford are the only two Eastern Time Zone schools hosting games.

[APPride]

I don't care, just keep the Wofford game at 7, all of the other games can be whenever the hell they want them to be.

w/ours @ 12, might just come by yours @ 7 for some scouting! (if we win) any other Apps thinking the same thing? are tix gonna be available @ gametime (see above as reason not to commit ahead of time...)?

[wocorebel]

why would APP need to scout us, you can just pull out the video of your defeat up here in Gibbs earlier in the year.

[proasu89]

Just got confirmation from Eastern Washington...game time is 9:05 AM Pacific time...

That stinks for EWU. Me personally, I'm not gonna gripe if we play at 8am.
Just damn glad to have lived to see another game;)

[mcveyrl]

I actually enjoyed our 12 noon start time. We tailgated with breakfast food and didn't worry about getting hammered.

Regarding the folks in Washington, with all due respect, the NFL runs the majority of their games at 1 pm, which is 10 am PST, plus there are a lot of college games on the east coast that start at noon EST, so they're used to watching football early.

But don't most of the games involving west coast teams start at 4pm? Even the Cowboys -- I can't remember a Giants/Dallas game starting at 1pm.

[Cincy App]

I agree with that perspective. I would also rather play later on Saturday but I'm just glad that ASU is still playing. The reality is that the bigger the game then the more likely that TV will dictate the gametime. BCS schools deal with TV dictating gametimes regularly.

[kalm]

EWU and their fans get the shaft. I doubt anyone on the committee has the intelligence to find Washington state on the map much less understand things such as time zones.

No kidding.

Far and away the longest trip for all the schools remaining, and across 3 time zones. Why couldn't they have the early game between schools from at least the same time zone? The earliest we have played a game in recent memory is 12 Mountain Time. I wonder if the committee will pay for an extra night's lodging so we can acclimate and let the jet lag wear off?

No junk... Hope they fly in Wednesday and let the jet lag wear off before Saturday. If they Fly in Thursday, boys will be anxious that day and Friday and it will hit Saturday - talk about flat for the game. Don't do it!! Let's have a great game!

For the record, I'm rooting for App so we can get another shot at them if we get to the NC.

If anyone from EWU will be here Thursday we've got Wichita State at home. With all of the playoff commotion our basketball team flies under the radar this time of year.

Stay warm this winter!

[Purple For Life]

When I was in Spokane earlier this year, for Week 1 of the NFL season, the games started two hours behind Iowa time (or on time in Iowa). So...hopefully that helps?

[DOME]

I hope the NCAA has the sense to give the Salukis a day game. There is a basketball game Saturday night in Carbondale with the Hoosiers that is already sold out. If they try to schedule a night game there, the crowd will be pretty thin.

UNI has an 8'clock BB game as well. I'd love to see a 1:30 game so I can make it to the Santa Bar crawl in Des Moines later that night.

[Peems]

Why the commotion over the noon start time? Most all of the Griz games always started then, is it not common place back east?

[appmountaineer]

no noon isn't to common in boone, almost all are games are at 3:30

[Peems]

Gotcha. I don't think the "early" start will bother EWU, just their fans :)

[HaveFunKc]

If anyone from EWU will be here Thursday we've got Wichita State at home. With all of the playoff commotion our basketball team flies under the radar this time of year.

Agreed... But, no offense to Houston and the boys for this time of year has this not become normal? Our Maketing group has been trying to tie basketball into football for a couple years attempting to capture some of that magic (free roundball tickets to football season ticket holders, heavy promotion to roundball games, etc...) Can't blame them - they've had some great seasons - just not as much publicity (or success) as the grid iron boys.

This is the playoffs! To be the best, you have to beat the best! xthumbsupx

[Purple For Life]

Sat forecast for Cedar Falls is 26 and partly cloudy. Coldest day of the week. but, should be nice for tailgating for an early afternoon game. We don't get many of those.

You ain't kidding!

I guess I don't mind the 1 PM start time...there's a Bball game in McLeod that night, but still...ugh!

Of course Delaware might be slightly jet-lagged, so that couldn't hurt. xthumbsupx

[Millwoch]

I have recently learned that Wofford is going to host next week against Richmond and I want to know what time kickoff is going to be. I have Duke v. Davidson basketball tickets for Saturday at Noon and want to know if I have to sell or if I get to go to both games. I would think that Wofford could get a later game being that we are going to be in the warmest climate. Please let me know if anyone knows.

where is the Duke games...if it is in durham you will have to sell no matter the time. it takes 3 hours to drive to Sparkle city. If it is in Charlotte 1 hour. My guess is you are not going to both.

[APPride]

Or takillya(Tequila) sunrise! xlolx
