Game Times are Set!

[MGNation92]

Mostly night/late afternoon games at home. Nothing earlier than 4:30. I can dig it

Wish those September games started later.

I don't know if the conference TV partners have made any announcements on which games will be covered and whether that will affect any of the game times.

[Ben Gooding]

This is awesome news. Very good times all across the board. 0 complaints.

Exactly.   These are not set in stone.

[BeliefBlazer]

Those two 4:30 kicks are likely beIN Sports. Was just released today all ten C-USA games on beIN this year will kick at 4:30PM after international soccer ends. 

[NTAlum09]

All I wanted was another 6pm start time vs SMU!

AGAIN! The AD keeps shooting itself in the foot!

If TV makes the times change, then fine, that is outside our control.  Otherwise, this is very nice and long overdue.

All six games are on Saturday?  What is this wizardry?

My goodness. First of all, why would your own athletic department promote a "lone victory." And secondly, how in the heck do you not get who that "lone victory" was correct. 

 

*Understand, the same athletic department personnel are all still there. 

 

*Also, still no complaints about the times of games this upcoming season. Pretty stoked about them honestly. 

 

I guess having a former Cincy DL writing about a school I can almost guarantee he doesn't care about allows this kind of stuff to happen. Over. And over. And over. And over.

Not only did they put up the erroneous information on Meangreensports...I just received an email with the exact same faulty crap.

They just sent out an edit -- let's cut em some slack ok?  It's Friday and you should have a beer instead.

This can be smoothed over...but it will require TWO Shiners ...in cans!

Honestly, I'm good with letting a small thing go here and there.  But when there's a little thing every...single...fricking...time.  Well, they add up.

 

It got instilled in me early in the accounting career that even if you make a typo that is entirely inconsequential to the outcome of a return, it can still leave the customer with the perception that if you missed this little thing, what bigger things might you have missed?

My first boss out of college had many folksy sayings. I can hear him now when even a tiny, tiny error or typo was made..."Can you be just a little bit pregnant? Either it is correct or not."

[EagleGreen]

Great times.  Would be better if home games were not on opening day of hunting season but that's pickin quite a bit.  Good schedule.

I understand that SID is brand new. I think he's the guy that replaced poppy. I mean like two weeks brand new.

No sir...they do not get some slack...this shiatt happens constantly...how hard is it to double check shiatt??? Was the guy in a hurry to start the weekend or what? Tough shit...you have one effing job...send out a correct email with good information and they can't do that!!!  Are they gonna blame the CBS company that sent out the wrong email earlier in the year???....shit! This is sad...

 

Sorry for my few bad words for poop...just disappointed again...

They haven't. We could end up with a Thursday night game or a noon kick in September when that happens

I know you work for the AD now, and I know how dedicated you are to both your craft and UNT athletics.  Please know that I know that people like you working in the AD give me hope for the future.

Good lord. The AD doesn't even remember the lone win last year.
