2023 Colorado Football Schedule & Future Schedules
- Thread starter Buffnik
- Start date
Not for that. I don’t want U$C to have their internal clocks ready to play when it’s at altitude and 0900 for them.
Big Noon kickoff back in Boulder!
Looking at the the schedule for week 5 nothing else jumps out so I'm guessing we end up in either the noon timeslot or 7:30 EDT slot since they usually don't put their biggest game at 3:30/4.
The other Fox possibilities for that week are Michigan-Nebraska, Oregon-Stanford and KU-Texas. And maybe UW-Arizona
Burnout will occur. I'd say we'd be a guarantee for the USC game if that's the schedule but they are already doing us 2 weeks in a row. Are they really gonna come to fun for a quarter of the season?
Fox putting games at 10am local is dirty - under the p12 contract, that time slot is not allowable in the pacific time zone without the schools’ permission. Not sure why/if that is different for mountain time.
Fox also can chose to kick at 1:30pm as well, but according to Matt Sarz’s CFB TV page, Fox is doing MLB in the 5pm MT evening slot.

Fox putting us on as the Big Noon game is the antithesis of dirty.
It's rough if you want to pregame.
Next year that Fox slot will be exclusively Big Ten.
Yes.
We'll be on it in Lincoln.
Texas at Michigan is that day, and Fox specifically demended that they switch the home dates up on that series as a condition of Texas moving on from the Big 12 a year early. Can't see Fox passing up on that game.

No it won’t. Fox will be able to choose
The new Big Ten TV contract is Fox at Noon ET, CBS at 330pm ET, and NBC in primetime. Every week.
There can be noon games on FS1 or BTN, but they'd have to be passed up by all three networks.
Poor bastards gonna get boat raced by Colorado yet again on major network.
Man, if my friends had a wedding on a Saturday during the season, I'm RSVP'ing with "Maybe, depends on the time of the CU game. Dickheads. Happy 4 u tho."
I hope the USC game is 10am so I don’t have to cancel my wedding
But continuing to call the show "Big Noon Kickoff" when the game starts at 8pm is kinda wrong
I thought this was the Penn State/Illinois Big Noon Kickoff show brought to you live from Boulder, Colorado.
Maybe. From what I've heard, it certainly hasn't been commonly referred to as that
It's called the Big Noon Kickoff Show. It's Fox's version of College Gameday. Like Gameday, most of the time the show is at the same place as the game that is kicking off on FOX at Noon ET. However, also like Gameday, they sometimes have the show in one location even when the game is in another.
Their choice to do this in week three is not surprising. The slate of games this week is not good and they can ride the Prime/CU gravy train for their show ratings another week.
Yeah, I understand all that.
And it's a confusing name. There were several posts last week here in AB reflecting that.
What was confusing about it, particularly last week?
I assume people heard "...noon kickoff for the CU / CSU game", didn't realize "noon kickoff" was part of the proper name of the TV show and thought it was speaking to the actual time of kickoff
It's their college Saturday morning show. Their feature game to start their live game broadcasts is their "Big Noon" game, which starts at 12pm ET. The "Big Noon Kickoff" kicks off the day's CFB coverage on Fox.
That's not confusing to me, but I do know from frustration at work that a shocking number of people struggle with time zones.
yeah, I got that now. I was confused a few years ago when CU had a "Big Noon" game and someone put that in the thread title. I've been straight on this issue since, but when I was catching up on the weekend's threads Monday, multiple posters were expressing confusion over the CSU game time because of this.
if it was just me, I'd take the L and move on, but when multiple people -- on a message board dedicated to college football -- are confused by the name, I think there's something to it.
not a big deal, though. I'm sure Fox's marketing and branding people have good reason for keeping the name.
This is just what I am telling my Penn State friends...
In fairness to Hokie - I did have conversations with two random locals last week who really thought our game last week was at 12 pm MT, not 12pm ET/10am MT.
