Author Topic: how many more 11am games do we have this year (Read 30140 times)

So it really is a bit ridiculous that we are playing at 11 am again this week

I am fine with 11 am road games as long as we win them

You guys, getting a lead-in from College Gameday on ESPN is not "burying" us. It's one of the highest-profile time slots available all day.

the 11 am game would be on FS1

I agree that 11am on ESPN sounds ideal because of Gameday leading in to it, but it seems like more often than not that game has always been between two garbage big 10 or ACC teams.

11am on FS1 is a very crappy time slot. No outside of the two fanbases involved watches that game.

i think abc used to have a 10 am game (NU 1994)

michigancat · « **Reply #154 on:** October 20, 2014, 03:37:32 PM »

IIRC our game at Marshall was either 10am or 9:30am

Didn't the Cotton Bowl used to start at 10am or something back in the day?

It was an early ass start. I went in 1992. Cold and way too early after New Year binging.

Can you imagine a 10 am game?

Like would you even try to get up in time? Would you just stay up all night and sleep afterwards?

"I better make sure I'm up by 945 tomorrow to watch my favorite college football team play", is an example of a sentence I will never say.

You need to work on your emaw Benja. Many Mountain and Pacific time zone cat fans are waking up at 9:45 or 8:45 practically every Saturday this year to watch our wildcats.

People have no idea how great it feels to roll out of bed at 8:45, have your coffee ready by the KSU Cats kickoff, then ending the game by 12:30 and enjoying the best part of the day in the California sun.

Am I not allowed to goEMAW anymore without people questioning my sleeping habits?

It is on FS1 but it definitely is not on ESPN. It's almost always the highest rated ESPN game of the day:

it is my belief that 11 am ESPN is a pretty good spot because of gameday but 11 am FS1 is meh

MSU vs IND drew 20% more viewers than our game vs OU in the same slot last year.

That is incorrect. We didn't play OU until November last year. They probably meant KU.

Grabbing a huge late victory lunch with your bro's after your team wins its 11 am game is pretty elite, though. Watch the ongoing games with an aura of superiority; these teams are struggling for a mid-day victory while your team got up early, jogged to the stadium and took care of business.

I think i'm just getting rough ridin' old based on how much i'm starting to enjoy 11am games, sucks.
