Future 9am kickoff time?
https://sports.yahoo.com/pac-12-not-giv ... 35282.html
Interesting article. I hope it doesn't happen because that would definitely hurt the pac12 team and its fan experience. A noon kickoff would work so much better and not be so late that east coast viewers don't tune in.

Larry Scott is now on Tom Hansen watch if this goes through. I feel like I've said this before though so perhaps I should just go show myself out.

Re: Future 9am kickoff time?
From a guy who watches the games from his home......... I like the 9 am kickoff, beats the heck out of the 7:30 kickoff! Plus it give the PAC 12 teams a lot more national exposure. I do realize what it does to the tailgate crowd and the commuters from Portland but......... motel room..... party Friday night? Plus 8am is not technically too early to crack a beer! Lol

A 9am kickoff is awful for the fans and awful for the team. Who is this "national exposure" and why do we care so much about them?
National exposure comes with winning football games. Try that tactic.

Maybe Larry Scott thinks it will make the refs better by being more alert from their morning coffee.StevensTechU wrote:A 9am kickoff is awful for the fans and awful for the team. Who is this "national exposure" and why do we care so much about them?

Re: Future 9am kickoff time?
The ducks did try to gain national exposure through winning in the chip Kelly days with Marcus Mariota. While winning helped him especially late in the season they still did not get the exposure of an Ohio State or in Alabama. I wonder how much of the 9 o’clock start time Makes discussions like this between game attending fans and arm chair Makes discussions like this between game attending fans and arm chair fans?

Oregon went from having notoriety equivalent to Oregon State to having notoriety equivalent to Florida State (or greater) in that span.Alan wrote:The ducks did try to gain national exposure through winning in the chip Kelly days with Marcus Mariota.

Re: Future 9am kickoff time?
Apparently our game with Ohio State is one of two being considered for the 9AM start next year. That's what Fox wants.
Ridiculous. I would have to get up at 5AM, and I'm not sure if I'm willing to do that for even the biggest home game we've had in a while. This might work at another school, but considering how many Duck fans travel 2+ hours to games it just doesn't make sense. I hope Mullens and the president veto this nonsense.

Mullins has zero juice with Larry Scott. Only the pac-12 presidents do.
