espn burying the ND game into East Coast midnight is supremely chicken crap.
The are afraid NBC might get the Heisman winner. I hope Love runs for 275 yards on 10 carries.

Or…they won’t have much competition against other games. It also works better with my travel
schedule. Then again, I live in the central time zone. Maybe some of those West Coast Herman voters will get a chance to see him?
FL State & UNC had 10:30 KO times too. Those East Coast kids were still playing at 2 AM their time.
That scheduling penalty for Eastern teams is completely bogus.
BTW, I noted here then when FL State got hosed by that KO time.
I had insomnia so turned on the TV at 1:30 and they were still playing.
You think these kids go to bed at 10 on a Saturday?

Most of those guys are pretty disciplined in-season. The stakes are too high to be otherwise.
The East Coast ACC teams should scream bloody murder about this scheduling hack.
Maybe 10:15...after warm milk and cookies...and evening vespers...

Just pack up the wagon and drive out to the game, there's going to be plenty of tickets available

730 local times not a late game. Do u guys really believe someone is screwing ND and
Love’s heisman run by playing a night game in California?
College gameday was just at Pitt for ND game too.
The angst is silly
Every fan base thinks ESPN hates them - every single one. You should hear the moron Buckeye fans here in OH.
Sure, the ESPN brain trust came together and said 'how can we screw Notre Dame?'.
Much ado about nothing.
As I said, when was the last time a West Coast team played til 130AM on their body clock?
And shouldn't the entire country get to watch Love in Prime Time?
No reason this is not a 430 PM PST game. None.
I’m gonna enjoy it, fits in with my travel and 730 local for me
I’ve been to the at Stanford game 5 times
Pretty sure 2 of them were night games
No other plausible explanation. It is a ridiculous start time.

Where were you the thousands of other times that the West Coast teams played after dark...
and most of the poll and Heisman voters were sound asleep?. The system and late start has never been fair for all and never will be. Crying "wolf" has no meaning now....but the ND football team will show up and show out without a whimper of complaint because they are thankful for one more opportunity.
You're interacting with what could be termed a "Human Diode"...information goes only one way...OUT..
with whatever he conjures up.

I root for ND. When was the last time ND had a 10:30 PM EST KO with a Heisman candidate?
Suggesting that this was just a coincidence is absurd.
I fully expect the Irish to faceplant Stanford.
Just acknowledging the deliberate marginalization by espn.
It's a close Heisman race. Exposure helps.
BTW, when was the last time a west coast team played until 1:30 AM on their body clock?
In denial…

I couldn't care less about west coast teams.

They've had 5 home games so far and two have been night games. ND will be the third night game.
BC, FSU, ND are night games and Pitt was a day game. No conspiracy noted. IMHO, the players won't mind because they can sleep in a little on game day and have time to adjust to the change. If the players and MF don't have a problem, then neither do I.
I'm feeling it too. It's the thing now to break bad on ND over this playoff stuff.
Craig McElroy seems to be the only outsider that I know of that is high on the Irish. Unless someone tells me otherwise, I think the Stanford KO time was deliberate. The only other thing that the Irish might have to deal with are the officials. Canes can't get in on their own merits so they got to have big sisters involved to try and turn up the heat on the committee. That's the way I see it.
ND has finished the season at Stanford every other year for the past 25 years...and at USC on the
....years in between.
How many of those games have started at 10:30 at night?
Despite my skepticism that they are out to get us, this is a great point.
I can’t think of another. So, why now?
When was the last time ND had a 10:30 PM KO? It's a deliberate, chicken crap attempt to marginalize
Yeah some west coast teams have 7:30 PM KO games. Not when they Play ND. Ridiculous.
The game is at Stanford, and evening games are not atypical...just like on the East Coast. ND should
win by a large margin and J. Love will undoubtedly play well...his body of work already has gotten him into serious Heisman consideration. Let's hope he leaves the game hale and hearty.
btw, every FB analyst I've listened to has been 'Ga-Ga' over Jeremyah. With or Without the Heisman, he's going to earn 'Generational Wealth' in the NFL...Good for Him.
