Shouldn't this be announced by now?

Last year was usually announced during Mountaineer Talk the week prior. So would expect tonight.

It's usually announced on Monday. The sunbelt web site said they are waiting on ESPN

Please not another noon kickoff!!!!

It is a noon kick off on ASN. Yay...

Yep. http://sunbeltsports.org/news/2016/9/20 ... 64921.aspx

Complete sidenote: South Alabama hosts a very good San Diego State team that day. They've got a solid OOC schedule this year with SDSU, LSU, Mississippi State, and Nicholls (who is FCS and hardly a world-beater, but gave UGA a scare a few weeks ago). What's crazy is that, the Jags having upset Miss State and LSU having a disappointing year so far, SDSU might be the best team on their OOC schedule.

Granted, the Jags haven't fared well in conference play (0-2 in the Sun Belt with losses to GaSt and UL-L). Anyway.

This is bull shit. We will be lucky to get 20,000.

my weekly schedule says 3:30

17,000 if we're lucky.

The only positive to a noon kick is I can go to AMB afterward

It shows 12:00.

Noon kickoffs being the new normal is worse than a lifetime of white out games and white uniforms.

Excellent! Another chance to perfect the breakfast tailgate.

Yep - my mistake - I looked at the wrong week - sorry ---

I have always believed that the optimum time for maximum attendance in Boone is a 3:30 kickoff time. Noon games are way too early and kill the attendance.

Is this ESPN punishing us for a bad showing on ESPN Saturday.

Why not Tulane @ Umass at noon, no one goes to their games anyway?

I might have to start waiting until kick times are announced to purchase my tickets rather than buying them all before the season as I have always done. I won't be at this one, but a noon kickoff makes the day trip from the Triangle a whole lot less appealing.

I really enjoyed the afternoon tailgating AFTER the Miami game. Tailgating before and then again after is fun.

One hour after a game doesn't make up for the three and half hours that were robbed of us in the morning.

Why is it on ASN? I was unaware of my partnership between the Sunbelt and ASN?
