Really bizarre. I thought there was a chance this got flexed.

 

[Buttermaker]

Va Tech at BC seems like an odd 7:15 choice. Clemson fans shouldn't be quite as lathered up at noon.

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

On the road, would much rather play em earlier than later.

 

[wsc8521s]

Yes. Great news for us. Enhances the chances we won't get Clemson's or the fans' full attention

I'm pretty sure the massacre I attended at Clemson during Riley's senior year was an early kick. Manifest and I were the only fans in the Clemson student section (sitting with HS friends who went there) and we left at halftime down 42-0 or whatever. I guess they felt bad for us because we didn't really catch any heat even though we were rocking Wake gear. Man was I bombed at Mellow Mushroom later that afternoon.

Yeah '07 (I'm guessing is the year in question) was noon. Same for '11 when we shoulda beat them to win the division

 

[Lohengrin]

I'm like the only one on this board to love noon games. They're even at 11am where I am. Yay.

Pretty sure it was '09 because I was living in Charleston at the time and I carpooled down with my Clemson alumni friend. All I remember is Riley being murdered.

 

[wsc8521s]

Yeah '09 was early too. Spiller took it to the house on the first play and it was over.

We could easily get our clocks cleaned at noon as well, but at least its a good spot with them coming off VT and the early start

Wasn't the 2000 game that ended CJ Leak's career as a Wake Forest QB a nooner, too?

 

[Pilchard]

Agree that the earlier the kickoff time, the more home field advantage is reduced.

I've been to Clemson games at night........not pleasant at all for the visitors
Noon is the best possible time for us
