2:30 is better unless you’re driving back to Austin after the game. 

2:30 kickoff for blOU also gives yah the option to drive up the morning of the game. 

Watch high school football Friday night, then drive up to CottonBowl Saturday morning.  🤘

It is actually better at 2:30.  with the 11AM kick everyone gets there all at once between 10 and 10:30AM and it is a clusterfuck.

I know, totally. Pisses me off when the lines suddenly become long when I go to get my 8th wax cup beer.

I was told that the SEC is all about night games.  How is Arkansas and Florida both 11am?  I think they adopted a flex rule so hopefully these games will get moved back.

Florida is probably going to be hammered dogshit in the middle of a brutal schedule run. 11am as an "at least they're both big fanbases" counterpoint to Big Noon Saturday makes sense.

You are right.  I think part of it for me is just we are usually looking at a Kansas State or Iowa State those weekends.  Having a big name school in Austin that late in the year is not something that we usually see.  I would have hoped for at least a 2:30pm kick.

Well, they are all about night games. There's only so many spots to go around. They have 3 options for night games. ABC/ESPN/SEC Network. 

These are the games slated as night or flex for the same day as we're playing what will be a terrible Florida team at 11am

Mississippi State at Tennessee Night

  Alabama at LSU Flex

  Oklahoma at Missouri Flex

  Georgia at Ole Miss Flex

It's pretty easy to see why Alabama/LSU or Georgia @ Ole Miss will get one of the night spots. OU and Mizzou could also be decent teams this year. 

The Arkansas one is more of a headscratcher but not playing at night is great for us up there. It's also FCS weekend for some so they don't want to waste the ABC spot on those.

 Missouri at South Carolina Afternoon

  New Mexico State at Texas A&M 7:45 p.m. SEC Network

  LSU at Florida Flex

  Tennessee at Georgia Flex

how tf is that not a night game or at least afternoon 

There are only 4 conference games that week.

But all of them could be big games.

Noon - Texas at Arkansas - ABC or ESPN
3:30-4:30 - Missouri at South Carolina - TBD
3:30-8pm - LSU at Florida - TBD
3:30-8pm - Tennessee at Georgia - TBD

It not being a night game is good for Texas.

It also screams they don’t think Arkansas will be good this year.

yeah 11:00am @ arky is a gift.  would like the florida game to be later on in the day but when you look at the rest of the conference games that day you can see why it's 11:00am.  I wish we could just swap florida and miss st's places on the schedule.  overall though, not a lot to complain about.

Alumni Band game kickoff at 7pm ... awesome.  Last year's temps were beyond what I could take.

This is the 125th year of Longhorn Band.  The 100th seems like it was 20-something years ago...

So it’s possible we could only have 2 night games all year and both against cupcakes? Why do the schedule makers hate fun so much? 

6pm, 7pm on the schedule. Aggy will be a night game. UGA probably will be too. 3 min, 4 likely.

I drive up and back every year…(with corn dog in hand by 7:30). 2:30 blows for that.

11am kick you’re back on your couch for the primetime games. 
 

this sucks, but have been expecting this for a few months now. Oh well.

I mean, multiple 11AM games starting at 6AM my time is not ideal for my drinking schedule. But yes I’ll take anything over the offseason

11am road game at Arkansas is great. Piglets do not have all day to tailgate and the environment will not be as rowdy (at least at first); and for most of us watching on TV, game is first thing.

will the television networks broadcast pitbull's much-heralded performance to open the season?

 

Why does there have to be some big grand connection? Pitbull is just a really famous performer they got to play a SEC kickoff party for Texas, it's that simple

Agreed. Happened to me 20 years ago with that 7:45PM kickoff. I'm lucky to be alive.
