Yea. No noon games this season. Wife will be happy about that. 

Yea! No Noon Games !

I wonder if these 6 PM starts mean we don't think the games will get picked up by TV.
Regardless it should help attendance.

Best news all year!

NO NOON GAMES! WOOHOO FAU!

Awesome start times. Good riddance to that TV contract. Never thought I would wish for that but those noon games were killing the fan base and not allowing growth.  If we can take care of some football business on the field, this year can be a giant leap in the right direction.

I hope the games are streamed so Owl fans who don't live here can watch.

I know It's Owl Time is happy with the times. Game day sales ! Those noon games must have been killers. Six o'clock games mean, fishing from 6-10. Nap from 12-1.Stop by It's Owl Time from 2-3 for last minute gear.  Drink and good food with friends at the stadium 3-6. Hopefully go home with a win. ( plan will change slightly for 3:30 kick off ) My daughter , student, even told me that her and her girlfriends may even attend a game at six. Amazing how a simple change can affect people positively.

There is no question the later games are better, you can have a full day and then go enjoy football/drinks.  I am really not sure why college football even plays noon games anywhere anymore?  

I guess it's just different in Florida or the south?  Mid-west in November…not really much to do and need the sun for warmth to play football so noon makes sense.  Noon doesn't make sense ever anywhere in the south.
