If it wasn't New Years Eve I would find it interesting, but since it is I don't.

It is weird, but it is a semi-holiday

 

[Hawkfromnorwalk]

New Years Eve. Maybe they are assuming everybody has it off.

Not considering that it is New Year's eve. Probably get a better attendance and TV audience than if it was held in the evening.

I'll bet Franstehman has to work on Christmas day to get time off from Burger King to watch this game.

They did the same thing a few years back we play OSU at 3pm to I believe.

 

[pmchawk]

I find it exciting that if we start out hot the 1st couple weeks of the B1G season what people will be saying about us...

 

[storminspank]

Rumor is that it's New Year's Eve

Bazinga!

Hey guys, I heard that the world is holding New Years Eve day on that same day. Why would they do that when its a Monday?

I predict that there's going to be a lot of people on this planet celebrating our win over the number 1 ranked team.

Clever, but fortunately for my sake your sister makes all my money for me.

I am confused as to why they would do this, even on NYE. I would not think a Monday afternoon game would get anymore butts in the seats than a 7 or even 6 pm tipoff.

You might remember that there is also a couple bowl games going on that day...a possible reason for a 3:00 pm start time.

Fortunately, IF Hawks make a bowl, it will have been played several days earlier, so no conflict.

This. It's essentially a Saturday. It'd be worse if it was on at night on NYE.
