With the Buccaneer's game against the Titans that Sunday at 1:00pm, a night game may not have been entirely feasible (although you'd think 3:30 could have been).

 

 

We played years with 7 PM kicks and the Bucs at 1 the next day. 

It may impact how the field is painted, but if its not on TV, I'm not sure I care that much about the paint job.

Yep.  Was hoping to be cooking up philly cheese steaks, but Bloody Mary bar sounds good!

Blackstone breakfast for the win.

I should mention, I personally love noon kicks. I am also hoping Ok State at UCF is at 7, so I can go to both ...... but I spent too many years worrying about attendance, and I know noon kicks kill the crowd.

Might be 3 games if Charlotte on the 25th isn't on cable.

That Charlotte game better be on tv. Their coach has been getting tons of media attention so I would be surprised if they are not on tv.

I know that UCF is playing more exciting teams and has a better game day atmosphere, but I still can't bring myself to go to UCF games... seems wrong.

I wouldn't hold my breath... it MAY be on cable... but Charlotte has already had four of their eight games on ESPN+ ... and their next two games (at Tulsa and vs Memphis) are both scheduled for ESPN+.

All things considered, it seems more than a 50-50 chance that USF and Charlotte would be on the streamer at this point.... especially since it's definitely not the most attractive AAC game that week.

Also have to keep in mind that the Charlotte game is Thanksgiving weekend when there are also more games on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday, so there might a few more available slots open for TV on Saturday.

Noon game will probably have less students. We need 7pm games 

I wonder how much Seats for Service will boost attendance, if at all.

It will definitely boost the attendance number that counts.

What sucks about noon games at RJS or we lose an hour. Gates for lots don’t open til 8am when they should open at 7am. Can’t wait til OCS which USF has more control over the tailgating & all. I will probably just get an RV and start tailgating Friday and leave around Sunday…

Just an FYI, gameday email from USF that just went out has parking lots opening at 7AM (normal 5 hours prior to kickoff).
