I don't care at all for the 11 am kick off.

College Gameday could be a real possibility for this one. They usually announce before the saturday games start so even if Texas or OU losses, this match up is very appealing.

Haha, I'm good with that correction.

I'll add, currently Texas and OU is 1 of 2 current top 25 matchups - the other being 13-LSU at 23 Missouri. It's an ABC game this year so we probably get ABC/ESPN College Gameday but not Fox Big Noon kickoff. That said, I don't see a super appealing game for Fox to be at either.

Fox is all over Deion so they will likely go wherever the Buffs are playing even if they get boat raced again this week.

USC doesn't have a defense so I don't think the Buffs will get blown out. I really don't care who wins this one. I think it will be a high scoring game--100+ pts scored.

I agree. Both defenses are terrible. I just don't want Wingo to be impressed on his trip.

Cross posting  

not certain who made the call on this, but it might be the big 12’s way of dumping on both us and ou.

Isn't the game at 11:00 more often than not? I don't like it either, but am accustomed to it.

He might be more impressed by usc's offense than anything, but Williams is going pro this year.

Correct and I am more often than not unhappy about it. Should be a prime time game.

I agree, but now that I think about it, I think they do it at 11 so that hopefully attendees haven’t gotten too drunk yet.

I've heard that several times, but there's something else to it. 

Have you ever been to a night game in Baton Rouge? Those people are drunk the night before game.

Yeah. I think it's so the networks can have a compelling game in all 3 time slots and UT/OU has now become the expected game there. And maybe it has something to do with it coinciding with the state fair. I actually don't mind it but I don't attend the game. It's probably a lot harder for those folks who go to the stadium.

I really enjoy watching Sark's press conferences. He's clearly very bright and is always coaching in his responses which are spot-on. I have a feeling his relationship with the University is going to be long and successful.

Agree. After I said what I said, I thought about what it would be like if both fan bases had an entire day to drink before the game. lol
