A 3 pm start for Cal has to be one of the worst decisions yet. Typical BS

The person who scheduled the coaches caravan should have sheduled the games because they all start at 6pm

Buy season tickets and sit on the shady side.  It will still be hot, but not as hot as general admission.

Also, look at the Dolphins/Bills game early last year.  The Dolphins outlasted the Bills and the heat was a major factor.  Hopefully it will be again.  This time the Mean Green prevail and the Bears wilt.

I still have PTSD from the 11 AM kickoff against SMU in 2014. I was a student at the time and got absolutely ROASTED that game.

It is not just the heat; we have much better attendance with 6 pm games. If it's a hot day this game will likely have more Cal fans than Green for Coach Morris's first game.

I'll be there sweating my ass off in section 106. Might need an IV that evening, but it will be worth it haha.

If you want to be seen on the bigger ESPN networks, you have to go where they ask. This should be a decisive advantage for us late in the game.

Sept 2 would be a great day for a White-Out game.  Use the white with lime green flying worm throwbacks and let Cal wear their dark blue uniforms

Wasn't Indiana the game we won, after being down in the first half? Thinking of the early season afternoon game. Opponent was in the sun the whole game and we were conditioned for it.

Back Jack, do it again.

I agree @untcampbell.  this could be used to our advantage.

We probably were more conditioned...but that was Pre-Indoor Practice facility!  : P

Ball State I think.

[untcampbell]

Well, I had the state right! Thanks @Marty

A couple Cal fans noticed the possible heat-impact on our game time...

"Playing in the afternoon in Texas is not ideal...I watched Cal battle incredibly in the 70s in Nebraska heat, and wilt in the Maryland humidity like 13 years ago... Hope for a mild day..."

I'm looking forward to watching Cal melt in the TX heat.

Take it up with ESPN and the AAC.

I am pointing out how it has worked historically at UNT home games for the beginning of the season. I would expect our AD to take it up with the AAC. 

Next, we will hear about the band being forced to melt in the sun.

Then people will be upset that the stadium looks empty on TV.

I like longer Tailgates.

BTW the Indania was near the end of September and a 6:00 pm game.

6:00 PM, September 24, 2011

Better have fall practices outside and not in the IPF unless it is raining. Time for a little Junction Boys conditioning. 

[Texas Stranger]

Ball State was the one with the high heat at a 3 pm kickoff that affected the visiting team.

There’s nothing the AD can do about it. You think Texas wants to play Rice at 2:30 PM on Sept 2nd? No one is immune. Sure it sucks, but it’s a small price to pay for moving up to a conference with an actual TV contract.

Absolutely wear white. White helmets, jerseys, pants, socks. Make Cal stand in the sun. If they want porta coolers, they bring their own. Take every advantage.
