UNC game time

We want Duke to win and beat UNC up while doing it.

Near the end of the season, we need Duke to get cut blocked and beaten up by Army and hobble the next week into our game for a beating.

Then, since they scheduled Army to tune up for us, I hope Wake motorboats them the week following our game.

I think that sounds the most logical. GT take care of their own business and let Duke get beat up before we play them in November.

I think everyone is in full agreement with that. The attendance is absolutely bolstered by the ability to sit around on campus and grill up some food, drink a few beers and socialize with your fellow GT fans.

So the only logical conclusion is that tv exposure is more important to the machine than the loyal, mostly local fan base (shocker). And if it so happens that the schools liability and clean-up bill is also lessened by having it at noon, hooray for the school. Every year we hear more about how places are struggling to fill seats amid rising costs for tickets and concessions faced off against better and better home viewing experiences. If I wasn't such a rabid fan, I would maybe go to 1 nooner a year and would damn sure not sign myself up for the time slot lotto for 6 games a year when the track record says 3+ of those are almost guaranteed noon kicks.

What would be interesting is to look at the rest of the conference's home start times over the same span as the above.

In the end we just are not perennially good enough to get better game times and I am butthurt about it.

You're last statement nailed it. Plus the fact that our coach won't play footsies with the ACC regime. Tech gets put behind the eightball just bcause most people don't like PJ. That also includes the local media both print and TV.

You guys don't need to fret - we'll be playing a night game in Atlanta on Jan 8th.

I really wish the roof would cave in on the MBS place so they could move our championship game to Bobby Dodd. I got the experience and don't ever need to go back there.

Numbers on VT for 1200-1330 games from '08 to present below; each year had a Thursday or Friday night home game stripped out except 2013 (2011 had 2). VT has also had a lot of kickoff classic type games that arent accounted for. Two vs Bammer, the Battle for Bristol, vs Boise in the Dome and this year's game with WVU.

I'd like to add that their cross-division game is BC and their out of conference yearly game is ECU. Those two plus a cupcake per year and another OOC (sometimes) patsy don't exactly load the schedule. At least at GT we have Clemson and UGAg to help draw some later time slots outside our division slate.


2008: 4/67%
2009: 2/40%
2010: 5/83%
2011: 1/25%
2012: 4/80%
2013: 5/83%
2014: 4/80%
2015: 2/50%
2016: 3/60%
2017*: 0/0%

Wow in 2011 they only had 4 saturday Home games.

Also thanks for getting this data. I plan on gathering the data for the ACC and select other schools in a new thread.

One does start thinking what our average record would be over CPJs tenure if we didn't have to play Clemson and Uga every year. If we had va tech or North Carolina's schedule could we have averaged 9-10 wins?
