No complaints from me about the 2pm kick for late November. Really like 3:30 but for this one it makes sense.

I'm perfectly happy with this. Didn't want Noon and 3:30 would have been unnecessary. Plus Idaho has a long flight home and they've will have logged over 20,000 miles flying this season

IMO this is the perfect starting time this should be when all games should start.

This is the final nail in the sub-20,000 coffin. Ready for FCS playoff level attendance?

I like it for a mid to late November game for sure, even 2:30 would be fine after daylight savings time ends.

What time would you suggest to combat a small Thanksgiving weekend crowd? I'm not sure there is one. I will be there for only my second time this season simply because it is Thanksgiving and I will be visiting my parents.

See, here's my issue. If you turn on the TV for any game that Sat. and stadiums will be full all across the country. It is thanksgiving weekend in those places as well. At least I think they celebrate t-giving as we do. This is where we have to grow up!

Need to get App vs stink the Friday after turkey day. This would rock. I'd love to see the Sunbelt get on CBS Sports Network. ESPN 3 is getting old.

CBS Sports Net sucks hind tit. GS/Navy is on it this weekend and GS fans who can't go to Annapolis are scrambling to find it.

As a former member of the BOD i can tell you that would be a solid way to piss off about 300 students. We woke up early to watch the FCS bracket show in my apartment and prayed we would be seeded high enough to avoid that in 2012. Thanksgiving and students on campus don't mix

It will be interesting to see how attendance works out for the Idaho game. I'm not sure that historical trends apply for this one. Our history in FCS for games on Thanksgiving weekend were playoff games for which the game had a one week notice and tickets were not included in the season ticket packages. That's not the case this year. People have had a chance to plan, and season tickets do apply. I really don't know how it plays out, but I'm not sure attendance takes the drop some assume. Obviously the students won't be on campus so that will almost certainly hurt attendance. I guess we'll see how it plays out.

Well I guess that's nice for people who have DTV. What about the rest of us? ESPN 3 works great and you can go back and watch it again if you want.

I agree 2:00 seems better for starting time, especially for those of us who travel 2 hrs or more.

The student attendance will be way down. I do think we have a shot at some decent other than student numbers. Two days removed from the holiday and a chance to plan the trip. I wish I had the answer to getting the students back for the game. I don't think the 2:00 start helps.

I wonder why the conference didnt just schedule the last week to be the first weekend of December? Other conferneces are playing their final games that week and we dont have a conference championship game to worry about.
