Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted April 29 My brain is so wired about Our Beloved Ducks these days, that I am really pondering some off-the-wall stuff. What if we had a B1G away game, and they wanted to start put us in the noon or 12:30 PM EST slot. It would be on TV, and because of the attractive time and because it is Oregon...it might be an option someday. I recall in 2014, when we played Wyoming at home, and the start time was actually 10:00 AM, and people tailgated with Breakfast Burritos and Cinnamon Rolls. But again, my question is an away game on TV that starts at 9:00 AM or 9:30 AM PST....are you in? 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PittDuck No. 4 Share Posted April 30 Oh yea! 9 am on a Saturday let’s me sleep in and still be in front of the TV in time. I may have Baileys and coffee instead of Black Butte Porter until lunch time, but I think I could make that sacrifice… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Marsh No. 6 Share Posted April 30 In 2021 when Oregon was at Ohio State we had a 9am kick off that day. That was pre-kids for me and I found that an acceptable start time. Now I have 2 kids and I'm up before 9 anyways. So 9am kickoff is fine with me. I'm one of those people who likes earlier in the day kick offs or later in the evening kickoffs. That way I have most of the middle of my day to do things. Granted I usually consume Duck football via the TV and I don't go to many games. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElPatoUO No. 7 Share Posted April 30 They could be playing at 3:00 AM and I would be watching. That being said, with DVR it is often more enjoyable to just start watching a game an hour or two after it starts anyway. Then you can just fast forward through all the commercials, halftime, etc. 1 1 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But being constantly relegated to late night isn't pleasant. Even if Oregon gets some late night games the coverage of them the following day would be much greater in the B1G with the B1G network. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicroBurst61 No. 14 Share Posted April 30 9am. 9pm. And Anytime in between. The "time construct" we all live in has NO bearing on a rabid Duck fans viewing pleasures. Kauhlua and coffee (am), Fine Oregon IPA's (early pm), or a 12yo bourbon on the rocks (late pm). I shall be "primed" and ready to let my Duckdom pour out in unabashedly "fan"atical ways, regardless of the time of day/night it is to be released! Bring on the B1G! Go Ducks! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie No. 15 Share Posted April 30 When the Ducks play WA, USC, UCLA, and Oregon State will probably be the most likely night games. Oh, and OCC games against less-than-top-tier teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDuck No. 16 Share Posted April 30 I doubt most West Coast fans know that 8 of the 14 current BigTen schools are in the Eastern Time Zone, not Central. Thus, a 9:00 am kickoff is 12 Noon for the home team at those 8 schools. It is 11:00 am for the other 6. I do worry about how well visitors from the West can adjust to 9:00 am PT kickoffs. Arrival on Friday does little to help adjust. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastBayDuckDad Moderator No. 17 Share Posted April 30 I was in Jerusalem on November 3, 2012 with a church group and found an Irish sports bar (yep, they've got them and it served Guinness. I bought our pastor a pint ) that put the USC-Oregon game on for us. It started at 1am local time. We watched most of Kenyon Barner's record setting rushing performance and the high scoring seesaw until they kicked us out at 4am. We then hoofed it back to our hotel where we watched the last 5 minutes on someone's laptop. Memorable. So it doesn't matter what time a game starts for the rabid Duck fan. 9am is just fine by me. I am hoping that there will be fewer 8pm starts, but I imagine we will still get stuck with one when we play USC, UCLA or the Fuskies. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1G fans wanting to check out Oregon will watch some and record the rest, thus our viewership on Fridays could be superb. 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan2785 No. 24 Share Posted May 2 (edited) I like a night game every once in a while, then again I don't have kids, so I understand why others hate them. I like a mix through the season, some 12:30 kicks, some 3:00, some 5:00, maybe one 7:00 at home. As long as we don't have more than one 9:00AM and two 7:30 kick times I'll be happy. I'm a huge Liverpool FC supporter, so early morning kickoffs are normal to me, if I can wake up for a 4:30 match against Norwich I can get up and be ready for a Oregon game against Michigan St. or Rutgers or whoever.

For tv watching I like 7pm games with kids. They're in bed not long after kickoff so the game gets my undivided attention. At some point I'll probably end up going to a game with my daughters and I'll probably not want a 7pm kick off for that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I more meant home games, away games are pretty easy I would think as long as you don't get into the power struggle when you need to put them to bed (then again I'm sure for some parents that's a constant struggle ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
