Yay! Season opener time change

By: HDubya on July 18, 2014, 11:09 AM | 36 comments

The season opener against William & Mary is no longer a nooner. The game has been pushed back to 4pm!
Virginia Tech's football season has been pushed back 4 hours, but I'll definitely take it.

This may or may not be Whit's doing, but I'll just assume he's being awesome yet again!

Broadcast on ESPNews? Isn't that supposed to just broadcast news?

We ARE the news.

21st century QBs Undefeated vs UVA:
MV7, MV5, LT3, Grant Wells, Braxton Burmeister, Ryan Willis, Josh Jackson, Jerod Evans, Michael Brewer, Tyrod Taylor, Sean Glennon, and Grant Noel. That's right, UVA. You couldn't beat Grant Noel.

I'm hoping around 11 PM on 9/6 we ARE the news. :-) While OSU is good, they aren't an LSU/Bama/FSU.

I have a message on my phone from May 20th telling my friends that it was at 3:30... had it been moved to noon without me knowing? If so, I'm glad they changed it back!

You are correct... it moved from 3:30 to 4pm

But thats still an extra 3 bourbons or so before the game, sooooo win!

The fact that our season starts at 4 pm instead of noon just seems to me like it is going to set the tone for the season. Great things are going to happen. I'm putting my name on it.

OK, I'm curious - why does a 30-minute difference in kickoff time change your minds?

(or maybe I missed the sarcastica)

Its too bad this game being so early in the season won't quite be a night game by the 4th quarter but we should get a nice sunset to usher W&M back home nonetheless.

I didn't think this game was ever a nooner. I thought it was always set at 3:30. Would like to see them do the same for East Carolina.

OandM Blood's picture OandM Blood | 11 years 11 months # ^

You're right. We had the option to set the time for this one and picked 3:30. Apparently the extra half hour is due to ESPNews deciding they want to air it. Glad they pushed it back and not up because I've actually been excited to play W&M for a while now so I don't have to tailgate with just breakfast.

Yea I guess I was wrong when I assumed the game was originally at 12:00. That makes this post a little anti-dramatic...
