Quarterfinal times

[JayJ79]

The ESPNU.com TV schedule lists these times for TV coverage of the games (well, Gameplan, ESPN360, and perhaps regional syndication). So I'm guessing these will be the timeslots for the 4 games:

all times in Eastern Standard
Dec. 6 FCS quarterfinal No. 1 12:00 p.m. ESPN360
Dec. 6 FCS quarterfinal No. 2 2:00 p.m. ESPN360
Dec 6 FCS quarterfinal No. 3 3:30 p.m. ESPN360
Dec. 6 FCS quarterfinal No. 4 7:00 p.m. ESPN360


Who do you think will get what timeslot?

The matchups:
Villanova @ JMU
Weber State @ Montana
Richmond @ App St
UNH @ UNI

I'm guessing that the two later times will go to the games at Montana and UNI, just due to the time zones. Time-wise, Montana getting the 7 pm game makes sense, but having a night game at Wa-Griz would be even colder, so maybe they'll have the late game inside the UNI-Dome, with Montana getting the 3:30 start, which would be 1:30 Montana/Weber time, and 12:30 Cal Poly time.

Richmond at App will be 12noon on ESPN-U while the others are all on ESPN Gameplan.

Possibly, but Montana has hosted late round playoff night games in 2004 and 2006, both covered by ESPN. I do agree that the later two slots will likely fall to the western teams.

Best news I've heard today!

[catamount man]

Best news I've heard today!

I'm only assuming of course. xthumbsupx

[DTSpider]

Darn...I was really hoping to be able to get to watch the game since I get the U and can't travel with the newborn at home.

[biggie]

Really hope for anything but another noon game.

[clenz]

I would love to see a 7 PM kick in the Dome

[FCS Go!]

I would be surprised if ESPN would bring in lights to WaGriz again. It seems like cheaper options are available in the other games that have stadiums with lights. Griz kickoff at 2pm I'll bet.xnodx

[achrist70]

I hope that they are smart enough to move the basketball game so we could have a 7:00 game, last year the 1:00 start just didn't seem right. The basketball game is why we played early.

[Cleets]

Montana does not have lights... xeyebrowx
so unless they shovel out butt-loads of cash my guess is a day game

[bcrawf]

12:00-- Richmond @ ASU

2:00-- Villanova @ JMU (JMU has lights correct?)

3:00-- Weber St @ Montana

7:00-- UNH @ UNI

This is by far the most logical, so we all know this will not happen. It is an NCAA production after all...

[grizzpaw]

no lights at the zoo. so any thing other than a noon start will need lights. its starts getting dark at 4. if its going to be on tv then its a noon start or lights need to be added!

[smallcollegefbfan]

JMU hostss Nova at 3:30est on ESPN Game Plan, ESPN360.com, and ESPN Syndication.
Montana hosts Weber State at 2est on ESPN Game Plan, ESPN360.com, and ESPN Syndication.
ASU hosts Richmond at noon on ESPN Game Plan, ESPN360.com, and ESPN Syndication.
UNI hosts UNH at 7est on ESPN Game Plan, ESPN360.com, and ESPN Syndication.

Actually I could see this happening.

[blur2005]

I'm pretty sure it'll be:

12:00 - Richmond @ Appalachian State
2:00 - Weber State @ Montana
3:00 - Villanova @ JMU
7:00 - New Hampshire @ UNI

I figure the Weber-Montana game will start at noon, local time, so 2:00 would make sense.

[appmountaineer]

App has been set for Noon.

[JayJ79]

UNI has 6 pm (central) on their schedule for the UNH game

BOONE, N.C. - Saturday's NCAA Division I Football Championship quarterfinal between No. 2-seeded Appalachian State University and Richmond has been set for noon, the NCAA announced on Sunday. The game will be played at ASU's Kidd Brewer Stadium.

[ericsaid]

I would think that the mid west and western games get the earlier times assuming those times are not all eastern.

The 12:00 game would go to Montana and the 2:00 to UNI.

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/clubhouse?teamId=2692 is for the weber st - montana game

http://search.espn.go.com/appalachian/ shows the asu game time is 12 pm, but it says tba on the team page.

The two others show TBA.

[bcrawf]

unipanthers.com shows a 6 pm (central) kick.

The Dome will be Rockin!!

[LehighFan11]

Any games on ESPN/ESPN2? or just gameplan?

[JMU1992]

Richmond at App will be 12noon on ESPN-U while the others are all on ESPN Gameplan.

ESPNU has Georgia-Illinois basketball at noon

Looks like just Gameplan or ESPN360

Oh I know, I just wanted to confirm it somewhere.

[yosef1969]

Another noon kickoff and this time due to freaking ESPN Gameplan. ESPNU was bad enough but Gameplan, geez. Another early start of it next week!

Ugh, I'm not a fan of another 12:00 start.

Also available in syndication. Last year many local stations in NC/SC picked up the second round Eastern Washington game.

[achrist70]

I love the 6:00 start early kickoffs suck, and Dome Magic really seems to show up at night!

Yeah but times are set to accommodate ESPN gameplan. I'd rather it not be on TV for entirely selfish reasons but whatever I'll still be there.
