Noon start for OSU v. Mich this year....blah. Would much rather have a 3:30 start personally. Seems like team/fans are still half asleep at noon. Plus, not ideal for west coast exposure to start a game at 9am

The Game doesn't need exposure; it's OSU vs. Mich. You could play it at 3:30AM and people would stay up to watch it.Benny The Jet;1813985 wrote:Noon start for OSU v. Mich this year....blah.

Personally I would like to see it at night but it is almost always a day game.

Not a surprise, but noon starts are the worst.

every year for at least the past 25 years it has been either noon or 1:00, with the exception of 2006 (3:30 start)Heretic;1813994 wrote:Hasn't it started at noon the past several years?

Noon starts are for Toledo vs. Kent...not the best rivalry in sports.

It's tradition...but it sucks. Wish it was a night game.

I get the argument...but I hate the "it's tradition" thing. Remember how much of an uproar there was when they changed the stripes and added black on the uniforms in like 2006? Or when we wore an alternate uniform? People lost their minds...so dumb.SportsAndLady;1814016 wrote:It's tradition...but it sucks. Wish it was a night game.

I am all for traditions, but a start time isnt really a big deal at all for me, tradition-wise.Benny The Jet;1814020 wrote:I get the argument...but I hate the "it's tradition" thing.

I'd correct my statement from before..."some" traditions are dumb...but for the most part I agree with this. If we kept all traditions...we'd still be running 3 back and running 85% of the time up the middle.thavoice;1814021 wrote:I am all for traditions, but a start time isnt really a big deal at all for me, tradition-wise.

Good to know who the real fans are vs. the ones who QQ about game starting times.

Haha, and I bet you were one of the guys who flipped out about a change of a stripe on uniforms? REAL FANS KNOW YOU CAN'T MAKE ANY CHANGES EVER!!!!!! LET'S RUN RUN RUN AND PUNT TO FLIP THE FIELD! PUNTING FROM THEIR 37 ON 4TH AND 2 IS THE SMART PLAY!!! TRADITION RULES! Give me a break.sleeper;1814029 wrote:Good to know who the real fans are vs. the ones who QQ about game starting times.

I prefer the noon kick. That way you don't have to spend the early afternoon watching shit games.

False. It's not about tradition; its about not complaining about the times of the game.Benny The Jet;1814032 wrote:Haha, and I bet you were one of the guys who flipped out about a change of a stripe on uniforms?

Real fans do not care. That's the only statement that I made and its based entirely in reality; surprised? I'm not. Everything I say is just an extension of reality.

Not complaining just like night games compared to noon kickoffs.

My two cents...
Good 8:00/9:00pm start
Better 12:00pm start
Best 3:30pm start
Honorable Mention (only because it rarely happens) 5:30/6:00pm start
