If we just refused to show up for any noon starts, it might accelerate the solution to our football woes. Let ESPN show three hours of Family Feud re-runs a couple of Saturdays and that will teach them.

That might get better ratings than Alcorn State at Georgia Tech.

Was the Alcorn game even televised? I know some of the cupcakes are online only.

I dont know. That was the first and only game I walked out at halftime. I dont give a shit about scoring 70 points on a cupcake.
 
Not knowing kickoff times 12 days before kickoff, or a few times 6 days before kickoff, hurts attendance by fans who have a distance to travel. Noon kickoffs discourage those who have to work a full Friday. I know I have a rare problem as a minister which means I have to take a vacation day on Sunday if we get a late kickoff. Not knowing kickoff times made it easy to quit buying season tickets after more than twenty years at the time the Tech fund was instituted. Now I just pick two home games and take the vacation. But, in the day you knew the kickoff time I never missed a home game. I can attest that the number of Tech cars traveling to home games on 85 South is greatly reduced from 15 years ago.

It certainly doesn't help that he prefers noon kicks

I don't think there's any evidence at all that CPJ's personal preference for noon kicks has resulted in more noon kicks. GTAA has been incredibly consistent for a long time that they simply have no control over game times.
 
That's exactly why I don't make home games anymore. I have to fly down. The flight to ATL is easy. But I can't get a flight back Sat night.

I still buy season Tix but can only come to Thursday night games. Last home game I saw in person was F$U.

It doesn't do us any favors that he's put it out that he likes noon games.
