It’ll be on Saturday, November 9, in Wallace Wade Stadium. We (the TB’CC) will have a great tailgate. The stadium will be full of Notre Dame fans. There will be no Bell present LGD GTHc! Beat the Irish!

We should know Monday as I can't see a 7 day hold being placed on the game.

Taking a stab in the dark, I'd say 12 noon but that's a complete WAG. With losses yesterday, Duke is out of the Coastal Division race and Notre Dame is out of the College Football Playoff race.

This game doesn't have much audience appeal.

... Duke is out of the Coastal Division race ...

The odds are longer but the game's not over ...

NC 3-2 va, @pt, @st
VA 3-2 @nc, gt, vt

VT 2-2 wf, @gt, pt, @va
PT 2-2 @gt, nc, @vt, bc

DU 2-3 su, @wf, um
UM 2-3 @fs, lv, @du

GT 1-3 pt, @va, vt, st

unc beats va and loses to pt and st = 4-4

va loses to nc, beats gt, and loses to vt = 4-4

vt loses to wf, beats gt, loses to pt, beat va = 4-4

pt loses to gt, beats nc and vt, and loses to bc = 4-4

duke wins out = 5-3

um loses to du and who cares what happens against fs and lv = at least 4 losses

gt beats pt and loses to one of last 3 = at least 4 losses

PT losing to both gt and bc is the most implausible of the above scenario ...

I will stick with my 12 noon prediction and hope to be wrong.

[TruBlu]

It will be 5 o’clock somewhere...

It's always 5 o'clock here:

hoping for a 3:30 or so...anything but noon which it probably will be...

[duke2x]

I originally thought this would be a night game to promote the ACC Network. I am backtracking a little because the Game of the Century of the Week (AL/LSU) is probably going to be on CBS primetime. The ACC slate is awful, but it's awful every week this year.

7:00 if ESPN wants to compete with AL/LSU on a network most casual viewers can't see.
3:30 if it wants to pull viewers from its other games.

After yesterday's losses, I will be shocked if this game is not on at noon.

Might they develop a new 9 a.m. time slot for us?

Might they develop a new 9 a.m. time slot for us?

Well, we ARE playing the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. That's a prime time team, even in bad times.

Have I mentioned this month that I was at the Duke upset over Notre Dame three years ago?

Indeed. And here's the official signal on the game-ending FG.

For us, yes. But Our Lady of Northern Indiana still reps hards enough to play ball in the afternoon or evening.

[devildeac]

Might they develop a new 9 a.m. time slot for us?

Well, if the official start time is now 730 PM, perhaps if Duke starts at 900 AM and we get the ball inside the ND 5 yard line, we *might* be able to put more than 3 points on the board in a couple of early possessions .

Our chefs won't like this start time but I really, really like their egg strata, grilled bacon and sausage, French Toast casserole and our usual assortment of breakfast stouts.

I am very much afraid that you will get your wish on 11/16 on Fox Sports South. The ACC doesn't like to put teams in the same time slot every week if possible. Here's to this squirrel not finding an acorn two weeks in a row. I noticed on West Campus that the squirrels preferred stale beer from Friday night to the acorns anyway, but that was a very long time ago.

I think you'll be correct on this one.
