Big noon kickoff in Boulder next week?

- Start date
I was told that the hype train had derailed.
I know I already said it, but it bears repeating that the additional advantage of it being put 3rd 10am game of the season helps, too.
If this was a one off for both schools, then I'd be thinking 10 isn't that different than 9 for college kids. But we're pros at this now.
7pm EST on ABC is the absolute best of the best
3:30 EST on CBS is next
12:00 EST on Fox is 3rd best but still kinda sucks
CBS is no longer relevant. Fox putting Colorado front and center in their game of the week nearly every week is a grand slam.
My personal order of preference, and this goes for both watching on TV and attending games:
(Mtn time)
1:30pm
Noon (really only applies to P12N games though)
10am
5:30-6pm
8pm
When I was a student Folsom didnt have lights. I think we played at night once a year and that was it.
Yep - ESPN or ABC would truck the lights in and have them on giant booms over the east and west stands. I remember that well.
ETA - as a matter of fact, at one point in the Big 8, the only stadiums with lights were the Nubs and KState of all places. I remember thinking how funny it was that KState would think they needed lights on their stadiums. (This is obviously pre-Snyder.)
When your kids are gonna get you up at 6:30 anyway....
my kid said this morning, "Dad, I woke up at 6:01, but I fell back asleep until 7:27." I could have cried tears of joy.
They better get used to it. I'm sure they'll see more than a handful of early kicks in the BIG. **** em.Fox is taking a week off from having the Big Noon Kickoff in Boulder.
This early slot increases Colorado’s chances of winning. Equivalent of 0900 PDT kick time is really bad for U$C.
Yup. Early kicks on the road and late kicks at home. Not much in between. This is what they wanted, I guess.
Nebraska did not have lights back in 1989, they also had the big boom truck/trailers and the light was dim, especially on a dark, gloomy, and cold night
This is USC. I'm sure they figure they'll just tell Fox and the Big Ten what they want and they'll give it to them. When it doesn't happen that way, they'll throw another temper tantrum. Of course, they're f-ing around just like Texas and OU are, and they're bound to find out.
I bet they’ll likely have a lot of late kicks
I’d straight make every game where the former p12 teams are away be a noon eastern kick off.
Bama be like “yeah, we just found out….”
Remember though, boomers will always love CBS because they have 60 Minutes and that hilarious Andy Rooney.
Had they invented color yet?

I feel like memorial stadium didn’t get permanent lighting until some time in the 90’s.
Folsom was not until 2009 or so with help from the Big12

Would be nice to get even new LED lights to be able to turn them on and off immediately and to put on a light show type of thing when we score

Not to mention cold and sleet/snowstorms.
I'm too lazy to google but I'm pretty sure KU didn't play any night games until extremely recently.
I think Ryan Field at Northwestern also still doesn't have lights.
The new LED Lights can change colors and do a lot of cool things, imagine if after we score a TD, all the lights Turn GOLD and then flash.Folsom was not until 2009 or so with help from the Big12

I do worry that the real boomers just above me might croak from the flashing lights.

This is not the negative you think it is.
