Mr. Green, I will continue looking for your knowledgeable posts throughout the football season. Thanks in advance and keep up the great work.

Uggh! Noon games in the early-September heat!

Maybe we'll get lucky and have another hurricane. That seems to cool things off.

Please... NO hurricanes. They might hit here in South Florida. 😎

Kind of put a damper on the tailgate, too. (I am still wringing out my socks.)

While the noon games will be dangerously hot in that bowl, the Miami night game on ESPN is pretty sweet.

Especially the attendance.

And, yes, we did attend the Duke-Army game last year, despite warnings from WRAL, The Weather Channel and our tent-mates/visitors, all 25-30 of us, the only occupied tent on Devil's Alley that day.

if on 9/16 at 12:30 EST, I'm not in a festzelt in theresienwiese, something will have gone very wrong.

Well, we will get the Hurricanes on September 29. We still owe them one and this would be a good time to lay it one them. GoDuke!

We don't matter. TV matters. Just because September night games were enjoyable (and appropriate) years ago doesn't mean they can be granted now.
Costco level consumption of sunscreen looms.
Question: the rescue squad ambulance (and I among others) used to cower in the shade at halftime under the nice stand of trees on the East side, now devoured in the name of
progress. Where will they park now? I'm moving to the West side after 30+ years on the East side, primarily because some of those September noon games have become
ludicrously unbearable. And they wonder why families don't want to plunk down a bunch of money for tickets, parking,etc, opting for watching the game on TV at home.

Two tough games early, and Northwestern has been a tough nut to crack recently as well. Beating Northwestern is critical.

Now that we have an experienced Jones and hopefully better WRs and special teams, we should have a good shot at this. Not easy, though.

I agree. I think that Northwestern game is one of, if not the most, important game of the season (... until the third game). In all seriousness, I think it is important to one, finally beat Northwestern, and two, be 2-0 heading into Baylor. I don't know what to expect from Baylor. They could be a mess as they adapt to a new coach, or still be very explosive. I think beating Northwestern takes some pressure off going into Baylor, UNC and Miami, among others, and helps build confidence. Naturally, we have to take care of business against NC Central, but then let's finally take care of some business against Northwestern. It's time.

Unfortunately, those 2 afternoon games with no local following of the opponent guarantee true attendance in 15-20k range. Nighttime Miami game should be 30k plus. ESPN can kill a game day experience.

Yeah, my 3-year-old son makes it so that we can't attend those noon games as a family. I'm more than willing to suffer through that heat (well, maybe I should just say "willing"). But I can't subject my kid to that. Oh well. Will enjoy going the first half of the Miami game and watching the second half from home after I put my kid to bed.

You have to tell the young man to grow up! 😂😎

And yet they complain about attendance. You can't take money from tv, get a cheaper experience sitting at home in front of the tv, make the gameday experience miserable due to start times because of tv...and then bemoan that people don't come to the games any more. I wish there was a better compromise.

There. Fixed it for you.

September games should all be night time games imo. The sun bearing down on the East Side is just brutal. I darn near died at that Alabama game, and got fried at the Wake game last season thanks to someone's sunscreen being older than me and not effective. I won't mention any names but his initials are "Devildeac"


Either way, our guys have to suck it up and win the September games this season. We need to win all of the "winnable" games and steal one or two if possible of the underdog games. I am very much looking forward to the Soph version of Daniel Jones though, and hopefully an improved defense. I am also anxious to see Bracey hit the gridiron... Can't wait for it to start.

Hey, hey, now, the date on the faded bottle/label may have been 1900-something but I refill that bottle every year, almost always with SPF 30 or higher.

sorry

So you bought it out of the Sears Catalog in 1958? Shoulda been fine.


It was all good though...
