A 2 p.m. and a 12:20???
At least the 2 isn't 12
Certainly not against the 2pm kick. Ton better than noon, but still allows for viewing of prime time games. The ECU time sucks.
I got ya covered...
You're a good man, Nerf!
12:20?
I'm almost afraid to ask what god awful platform this game will be broadcast on
That's a bold move, Cotton.
Almost assuredly on ESPNU or the ACC Network (aka ESPN3).
These matchups against ECU are exactly the type of game that will end up the linear ACC Network once it launches.
Sept 8th- 2 pm on ACC network EXTRA
Sept 15th- 12:20 on ACC Network
Doesn't get much worse than that, WatchESPN was awful last ye...
Oh god
I'll take ACC network I get it on a local channel here in SC.SHIT I don't know if I have an ACC channel in Jacksonville!!
I checked a few of the links from last year, and all of the ones I looked at had WJXT as an affiliate. Appears to be an independent station that identifies as channel 4.
Thank god.
The UVA VT game on Friday still hasnt been announced, they said TBD time and platform
Games that will hopefully compete for primetime with us are:
Oklahoma vs West Virginia
Oregon vs Oregon State
Washington vs Washington State
Nebraska vs Iowa
That one prob won't be announced until 10 days prior, at least.
Big 12 throwing hammers for Black Friday. Shit. May not be a late kick this season.
Unless LOLUVA has a "good" season
->Sigh<-
How the hell did LOLUVA get a 3 pm slot for Ohio on the 15th?
Because it's an Ohio state university.
Because they got to pick it, just like we picked the 2 pm kick for W&M.
2pm is a decent tailgating time for W&M. They only way to make an ECU game watchable is to either not have it at all or make it late so you don't have to remember it.
Hammered at noon makes for a long evening/short night.
2:00 p.m. is a sweet spot. Hope more games get scheduled then.
I do remember that our 2 PM ODU game last year had a much better stream than the 3:30 Delaware game. Not sure how much of that was due to ESPN figuring their crap out with an extra couple of weeks, or maybe the load isn't that great of people flocking to the platform for an off time game.
Fuck, I hate playing ECU. I'm confident that I will never live to see another season where we don't play them.
ECU has compromising photos of the Hokie Bird. It's the only explanation.
Those bastards!
The guy in the yellow shirt is lit.
Also fuck ECU.
ODU kickoff time is announced.
*checks ticket prices
What are they? I have some family in that area.
Starting at $198 per ticket on Stubhub
You could get season tickets for about the same
What the fuck
Fake news. Just saw one at $197.99.
EDITED: I put "179.99" instead of "197.99"...that joke would've killed. I feel like I came off dickish instead. My B.
Easy solution. NASCAR is in Richmond that night. So watch the game in the parking lot while tailgating and then go smell some racing fumes.
Intriguingggg.
Wow, some ODU alum are trying to recoup their season ticket costs in one game!
Here's hoping the ESVA Hokie Club is doing a bus trip!!!
Just an FYI since I live in Virginia Beach and have been to a few ODU games in Norfolk. This is an extremely small (but very nice) stadium. I believe there are less than 30K seats so tickets will be at a premium. There is plenty of parking deck parking across the street from the stadium but be advised that this school is in downtown (almost) Norfolk and there are main roads (Hampton Blvd) running through campus. Tailgating is good and the folks are plenty friendly, bring some Bourbon and meet some Monarchs.
How the hell did LOLUVA Indiana get the 7:30 slot on September 8th!! I give up trying to figure out these game times and networks.
It's BTN. The rest of the conference is probably FCS games or a marquee P5 game snatched up by the real channels.
In their defense, that is one of the more evenly matched games...
loluva vs lolindiana
