I'm not a big fan on noon starts at home, so I'm happy to see only one. I like both 3:30 and 7:00 starts. I like watching the games under the lights I guess. The 2:00 Akron game seems odd to me but what do I know?

I like the start times as well...except for Kent. Why not just make that 3:30 or 7 as well? Unless is is supposed to be televised. EMU weekend...BG hockey plays the Suckeyes Fri and Sat night so guess what? The start times won't clash! About time...

86 days to go...>BEAT FLORIDA!!!

"Home" game in Columbus? Only 1 freaking game at night?

Typical....we should schedule a game for a Tuesday at 3 AM and we'd be all set!

The noon kickoff is for TV. The MAC regional game of the week is always at noon.

3:30 is a good time for games, plenty of time to tailgate before and tailgate after. Or you can you go out downtown, gives people a chance who have to travel a chance to leave in the morning day of and a chance to get home before 1 AM.

I've never understood wanting night games in Bowling Green in late October / November. People complain about every aspect of BG home games, if Eastern was a 7 o'clock kick and it was 30 degrees people would be on here saying it should have been a 3:30 game.

Noon sucks. But, 3:30? Come on.

And are we really going to rehash the game in Columbus discussion? Some people like it, some don't. It is what it is.

Other than the Florida game the other game we're looking at attending is at Akron. I guess 2pm at Akron is better than Noon and will allow my son to take in his first Falcon football game which would have been more difficult with a night game.

For those planning on tailgating after games you should know that police will be citing anyone caught tailgating after kickoff. It's a new rule that the athletic department has decided on.

As they should. I can't stand people who just come to the Doyt to sit in the parking lot all day and tailgate during a home game. Show up, tailgate and go to the game or don't show up at all.

Ok...so what about those of us who want to come back to our camper after the game, eat and have a beverage with friends? Will we get cited too??? :?

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

I would guess it would depend on the beverage, I doubt they would be able to cite you for eating a hot dog and drinking a pop

I knew what you meant when you said beverage, was just suggesting a different one for after the game if they are really going to be citing people :-D

Pending the time of the game in Columbus, looks like I'll be making it to only 2 games this year. Can't make the 3:30 starts unfortunately... which means I'll miss homecoming

I can understand why they don't want people drinking in the lots during the game....allowing people to park it for several consecutive hours of drinking could put the university in a bit of a pickle from a liability standpoint.
