Duke at Syracuse, ACC Network or RSN*, 12:30 p.m.

That will be our fourth 12:30 kick-off in a row.

[DukeSean]

That will be our fourth 12:30 kick-off in a row.

Have our TV draws been that bad to justify this?

[devildeac]

That will be our fourth 12:30 kick-off in a row.

Any wagers if the VT game will make it 5 in a row?

If we keep on winning, I'll happily take that time again.

No worries folks, if I recall correctly the Orange Bowl should be on nationally and at a prime viewing time I will be there to tailgate and cause other ruckus.

Given that we have a hoop game at 8pm I would think Duke would prefer noonish...(parking, etc)

I know TV has the final say; I have wondered if Duke has any input...some tell me we have zero, I would think we'd at least request noon (in this case).
A 3:30 game (or 7pm) would pose some logistical problems for a system that often struggles with the basics (to be kind).

Even disregarding our game that evening, I like the early time. Less competition for eyeballs, plus I don't see the attraction of a Saturday night game anyway (don't young folks tend to do other things on Saturday nights?).

Most importantly, it lets me get in a good mood earlier in the day!

I keep complaining about our time slots and others post that it's no big deal.

Still, Louisville-BC in prime time? No. 24 Duke in another nooner.

It will be interesting to see the Duke-Va Tech time ... with the home basketball game that night.

But the Duke-Syracuse game also creates a conflict -- Duke has a basketball exhibition at 1 p.m. I know the football game is on the road, but now it's the same time as the basketball exhibition. So, if you are a Duke fan, do you want to stay home and see the Duke football team play the 'Cuse or come to Cameron and watch a basketball exhibition?

Any chance to change the BB exhibition to night to help Blue Devil fans out?

Geez, can't believe this is actually a difficult decision for many Duke fans. Exhibition basketball or a (hopefully) 7-1 and ranked Duke football game. We talkin' bout practice, man!

we play the heels the Thursday after the VT game, so the earlier the better AFAIAC.

Wait. I thought you always spelled concerned with a "K."



(OPK and I may be the only ones who remember this one.)

Funny, I typed it that way this time too! Caught it before hitting the submit reply button though.

AFAIK and AFAIAC are probably too close to be useful acronyms. JM(H?)O,

[DU82]

Ditto. Earlier is better. (Same for this week's Pitt game. Allows me to drive back to Durham after the game and save a night's hotel bill.)
