Figures...

Really? We jump at whatever time they tell us to jump, and the best they can do for us is put the game on ESPNU (again)? Not ESPN or ESPN2?

13,500 attendance prediction, and 3,000 of it will be in the press box.

Too bad we aren’t top 25 ranked and one win away from a top tier Bowl invite. I’d like to think we’d draw 20,000 plus with that on the line.

Perhaps people will drag their in laws and kids from out of town to the Glass Bowl for a fun afternoon. If the weather is sunny and mid 40s we may have at least half the stadium full. Either way, just get to Detroit...

We are playing for a division championship. Ill get up and play at 6am if they want us to. Go Rockets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow - beautiful time for a game. 11:30 am and ESPNU to boot. Those a$$holes at ESPN are not paying nearly enough for the BS we have to endure as one of the top programs in the MAC year in and year out.

will be in town from Chicago. No reason not to go!

Blaiming the winner doesn't make sense. It's not their job to negotiate a payment that makes sense for the MAC, it's the MACs job. I'd like to know who they wined and dined in order to get the decision.

But even some fan's argue it's a good deal because of the exposure. ESPN would just go to another minor conference in order to get the games on tv for vegas.

Is there ANY information available as to how many watch UT on the tv? Does ESPN publish the numbers and demographics? Maybe the numbers are such it would change the argument in their favor? For me? I think have full stands is more important to the health of university athletics.

I wonder how many of you people who complain about the starting time, where down at B.G. to watch the Rockets smash the falcons? I don't care what station they are on, as long as they win. Call MOB and complain to him about the b.s. start times.

Why are you all complaining about that time I LOVE IT CAN"T WAIT

Game time doesn’t really bother me...I’ll be there in the Glass Bowl as usual. What I DON’T like is that our ESPN games this season seem to have been relegated to ESPNU, and it would be nice to be on the flagship channel instead...

I thought 11:30 am was a joke. Granted, it's only 30 minutes earlier than noon, but come on. Noon is bad enough. And for ESPNU that hardly anyone gets? Is this the first morning game since the leather helmet era?

Yes I'll be there. If you see a guy in pajamas and slippers it might be me, but don't ask. NOT A MORNING PERSON!!!!!

Really, this is ridiculous.

I’ll be tailgating at Bob Evans or Al’s Diner before this one...

French Toast, Eggs, Sausage, UT Football, Celebrate Championship, Order Championship Tickets, Eat Thanksgiving Leftovers, Pass Out

Or we could have the game whenever we want in obscurity

Some new breakfast place about across from Al Smith's I think, supposed to be good. One of those farm to table things I think.

What's the best way to get tickets as an out-of-towner? We're coming to visit the in-laws for Thanksgiving and this is a fantastic opportunity to take my son to his first college football game.

Ranger, you gonna be around? Would love to catch up.
