Would have thought we'd see BG-Marshall on TV by now. Maybe ESPN will pick it up.
It's great that this game is 1:00 start now. Gives me plenty of time to eat dinner and then get over to AA for the
Ben Folds concert.

Jeez, a 6 o'clock start in November would have resulted in about 8,500 people in attendance because of the weather. Moving it up to 1 o'clock is a great idea.

I HATE 1:00 starts. We put up lights for a reason...no tailgating for that game...

Sweeeeeet buttah!
First, this will give Noah & I a reason to bring a sign to the game!
Second, earlier start probably means we have the best shot at warmer temps.
Very cool, indeed!

It's family weekend and UAO does programming for it. The game and concert weren't going to conflict in the first place.

Yes, but the problem is you have to start tailgating in the coldest part of the day so you can watch the game in the warmest part.
For a night game you tailgate during the warm part, and watch the game during the cold part. But the beauty of it is you have a great beer coat on by kickoff so you don't CARE that its the cold part!

This was actually a 4:00 game originally according to my magnetic schedule. The Eastern game on 10-30 is a 6:00 game. We have no 6:00 home games in November!!
Great news!! Now I don't have to miss bowling!!

I actually like a little mix of times for home starts. I like playing at night early in the year when it's warm, and playing in the day later in the year when it's cold.

Oh, I wasn't worried about a potential conflict. I was just referring to the fact that I don't like early games OR Ben Folds.
On the bright side, maybe I can catch a HS playoff game that night after the BG game.
