Football/basketball schedule conflict on 11/27.

**CameronBornAndBred** · 11-21-2010, 09:15 AM

Good news / bad news here. The game is thankfully (for tailgaters) not a noon kickoff, it's at 3:30. The bad news is that do to some seriously bad scheduling on Duke's part, the basketball game vs. Oregon is at 4:00. I blame Duke entirely for this. The athletic dept. knew when it scheduled the basketball game that Duke was playing not just any football game that day, but it's LAST football game of the season, and that it would be against the holes. They also had no idea what our record might be, for all they knew this could be a game that we were playing for bowl eligibility. Way to go, people.

note...goduke.com has not posted the game time yet, but theacc.com has.

The game time was almost certainly set by Oregon, and the game was scheduled around the home dates for the Trailblazers. Don't really see the point in blaming Duke.

I'm not blaming the time, I'm blaming the date. Both parties agreed to that one. Oregon's next football game is Friday, not Saturday..they avoided the conflict on their end.

You're right, CB&B. Duke messed up.

Love ya, Kyle. You'll look good coming from my Cisco DVR. 'Cause...

It's football season. It's the Sheep. Wallace Wade calls, and there's a bell I have to help deliver.

Go Duke! 9F to the tenth!

Blazers have a home date Friday night, then hit the road. Meaning all day Saturday and Sunday theoretically open (unless concerts, the circus, whatever in town). Maybe Duke did consider the football game and was thinking/guessing it would be a noon game, so opted for 4 pm, realizing there was a chance there would be a conflict but trying to avoid a conflict?

Most gametimes are set by the networks nowadays, but with both on the same day, it was pretty likely they would conflict, so Duke had to know that.

During the unc/ncsu game football yesterday, the announcers said something to the effect "we don't know WHAT game/WHERE yet but we will be the air next Saturday."

Is there any way the unc game might be in the list, and perhaps a (rescheduled) noon game?

(Heck, that's when I thought it was all along....

)

No. The announcements were made after yesterday's games.

I don't understand the 4 pm start time for the basketball game. That's 1 pm in Portland - why not a 4 pm game (PST), which translates to 7 pm EST? Then at least the overlap would only be 1/2 hour. I'm guessing we can blame Fox Sports for this, since they're covering the game.

Personally, I'm a little relieved. I got my grad degree at Oregon and I love my Ducks. I wasn't looking forward to rooting against them...now I have a good reason not to watch the game.

At least the basketball game is against a team that just lost to Kentucky 79-48 in the same venue.

Kentucky beat the Portland Pilots not the Oregon Ducks.

Perhaps. Easy to understand why a Sunday afternoon game in Oregon during the semester would be less than desirable, though.

An excellent point as it is 110 miles from Eugene to Portland.

**Devilsfan** · 11-21-2010, 12:56 PM

My solution DVR the BB game and be in Wallace Wade supporting our students.

And a good 2,800 miles back to Derm. Perhaps they wanted just a bit more time to get ready for MSU on Wednesday.

That is my plan exactly but it still stinks. The BB game should have been played on a different date. I realize there are a zillion factors that go into it, but there still should have been a concerted effort on our part to avoid this. Playing in Oregon's arena would have made it easier to avoid the conflict. (As well as helping with the "Duke never plays true roadgames blah blah blah")

Whoops. Well Ken Pom has Portland ranked 10 spots higher than Oregon so even more reason to watch the football game live and then basketball on DVR afterwards.

And avoid traveling on Sunday, the busiest travel day of the year?.

TV sets the day/time, so no sense complaining about it (not you, jk, others in this thread.). Set the DVR to record the basketball game, and come watch the football team get the bell back from the cheating Smurfs.

The only problem with that plan is you KNOW they will announce the basketball score at the football game.

Seeing as I'm going to be in Portland at the basketball game, I hope they announce the football score at the basketball game.
