11 AM Kick...

[hawkforlife9]

Why do we get stuck with these? Let's schedule some night games and really make Kinnick rock. I hate leaving DSM at 6 AM to tailgate.

Night games are awful. Give me 11:00 every time.

Who says you can't tailgate after the game?? Then you don't have to leave so early.

Because they put the ranked teams at 2:30, 6,7,8. Who wants to watch 2-2 who can't beat a lowly MAC team play at those coveted time slots.

False.

I've seen many ranked teams play at 11:00.....including Iowa.

11 am kicks are perfect. This year has felt strange wth the 2:30 start times.

The pop-up Camper must has a flat terrrr.

11am is much better than 230.

I so disagree... playing under the lights is great Tailgating wasn't much fun last week after we dropped to CM.

That's up to the TV Networks and the B1G. If Iowa was 4-0 it'd be a different story. Winning games = better tv slots, well depends on opponent as well.

Apparently your wrong... 11 AM is the preferred slot from posts so far.

I like 11 AM so I can get back home and watch to good night games. It was nice to take my mind off last week's crap fest after a long drive home, by sitting down and watching some good football.

This is only our 2nd 11:00 a.m. game of the year.
We were spoiled with the first 3 games being 2:30.

I prefer 2:30 myself. Waking up at 3:30 to get to the lot by 5:45 sucks.

I've realized I've grown up when I now favor a 11AM kickoff over 2:30 or a night game. Harder to cram in a decent amount of tailgating, but get to spend time with my two year old son when I get home instead of getting back in time to put him to bed or not see him at all. He's a little fan in training just not old enough to make the trips yet. Seen some do it, but no way would I try it, I think I'll wait abit longer until he's old enough to truly appreciate it.

Imagine if you lived on the west coast, 11 am games start at 9 am.

True, worse part for me is I only live an hour away. Can't imagine what others go through, and how much time they have to dedicate to make that weekly trip.

Then don't do it. Why would you want to tailgate for 6+ hours? Anything gets stale after 6 hours.

You've never been to the kind of tailgate that features hawt coeds doing nekkid beer slides and also ButtChugging mimosas.

That's what I was going to say. Go up Friday night, spend the night, and you have all day Saturday. Problem solved.
