Noon kickoff for Iowa.
- Thread starter DJ Spanky
- Start date
It's actually an 11 a.m. start for the Hawkeyes' body clocks, right? They'll have it tougher than we will because it's easier to gain an hour than to lose an hour, at least for most people.
Iowa plays 11am games all the time.
No I knew going in we were looking at a bunch of these. Still beats the alternative but it really kills the tailgating.
Even with our own network, it seems you either get the 8pm prime time game, or noon.
Get your lazy butts out of bed, make it a breakfast tailgate with plenty of eye openers and get into the stadium for kick-off. You want to be big-time? Act like it.
Since we are usually out and set up at 8am for 8pm games "laziness" is not especially a problem. The duration of the tailgate for noon games is.
I love noon time games. Let's me enjoy the rest of the day.
Fail. When your team blows or you are playing a team that blows, you play a nooner snoozer.
Good programs plays at 3pm or 6pm. Great programs play at 8
Noon games suck for those of us with family commitments for fall sports. Pretty much any other time works better. Heck, give us a Friday night game, that works great.
Such is life with kids. Pretty much everything I do outside of 11pm - 5am has a conflict with something child related or work related.
I don't get why people think this is a new thing. Big 10 plays a lot of games at noon. Get used to it people
100,000+ Michigan and Ohio State fans have dealt with this for a long time and it doesn't seem to bother them. I've been to quite a few noon games at the Big House and the tailgating is just fine. Chronically challenged Rutgers fans seem unable to cope with .... well, just about everything.
Seriously.
I look forward to waking up to RU football and watching the first quarter in bed. Noon starts might just be my favorite.
Fail. This thread is about Iowa, a top B1G team.
Noon starts are my favorite. Breakfast tailgate, beautiful afternoon game and get to come home after the game and catch the 3:30 and night games. Get my fill of as much college football as possible
The league should let its teams play its ooc games at night if it wishes to do so-especially in September.From October on,I prefer noon.
Ohio State has 8 kickoff times scheduled so far. 2 at noon, 1 at 3:30, 1 at 5:30, 1 at 7:30 and 3 at 8:00. So there is at least some truth to that.
Is it my imagination, or were we playing some noon games *before* we entered the B1G? Didn't they happen sometimes when we were in the Big East or AAC? I agree they're a hassle but surely the great majority of our fans can adjust.
Yes, it was a stupid post! (how often do professors admit to being stupid?)
Indiana must be a powerhouse:
7:30
4pm
3:30
8pm
3:30
already scheduled.
Illinois is a major powerhouse!
3:30
7:30
4pm
3:30
3:30
already scheduled
The best B1G games are going to be at 3:30 on ABC. (or 8pm if they're scheduled in advance) No questioning that. The next 2 best games are usually noon games...and the 4th best is usually another 3:30. Has nothing to do with records, in my opinion.
Well, I have friends from IA coming out for the game. I told them that I was bummed that it's a nooner and this was his response:
"that's one hr later then what we are used to. Can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning"...
I'm not a fan of noon games either, but we'll be there bright & early.

So you're calling RU a crap team?
And you're still wrong about the greater point.
Congratulations on that pile of flaming failure.
