2015 Kick-Off Times

[IRISH in MT]

Sorry if this is a duplicate thread. Just wondering if any of you insiders have some insight on when some of our kick-off times will be? Here are my thoughts:

9/5 - TEXAS (NBC 3:30pm Eastern)
Possible night game?

9/12 @ Virginia
Not a marquee matchup but others will be playing FCS opponents. Maybe CBS or ABC/ESPN?

9/19 - GEORGIA TECH (NBC 3:30pm Eastern)

9/26 - UMASS (NBC 3:30pm Eastern)

10/3 @ Clemson
I have a hard time believing this won't be a Prime-Time game on ABC/ESPN.

10/10 - NAVY (NBC 3:30pm Eastern)

10/17 - USC (NBC 3:30pm OR Prime-Time for recruit weekend)

10/31 @ Temple
Being played in an NFL stadium, will CBS or ABC/ESPN pick this up?

11/7 @ Pitt
Usually broadcasted. Afternoon game or Prime-Time?

11/14 - WAKE FOREST (NBC 3:30pm Eastern)

11/21 @ Boston College (in Fenway Park for NBC Shamrock Series = Prime-Time)

11/28 @ Stanford
Usually broadcasted on ABC/ESPN in Prime-Time
***Last year's USC game was first time in a long time the Thanksgiving weekend game on the West Coast wasn't televised or played in Prime-Time...

Texas will be a 3:30 kick since USC will be prime time game. Virginia could be a night game. Georgia Tech and UMass will be 3:30. Clemson will be prime time ABC. Navy will be 3:30. USC will be the night game I think. Temple will probably be either a noon or 3:30 kick. Pitt will likely be noon or primetime could change based on how good we are. Boston college will be prime time. Stanford game could be a Fox game and start at 6

If there was a year for two night games, this would be it with Texas and USC at home. That is quite doubtful though. All home games will likely be 3:30 besides USC, while all the away games with the exception of Temple and maybe Virginia will be at night.

There is a NASCAR race at 330 on September 5 on NBC, so I wouldn't say Texas is for sure an afternoon kick.

Thank you Gents! Here's to hoping Texas is a night game with the NASCAR race (good catch btw), that there are piss poor match-ups in Week 2 making the Virginia game a spotlight game, Pitt being decent and/or ND being undefeated for a prime-time game, and that ND/Stanford game is FOX's premier game of the week.

Nbcsports channel would carry the race I would assume

 

[arrowryan]

Texas is a 3:30 game, USC is a night game

I would doubt NBC would push NASCAR to NBCSN. I think ND playing Texas at night would be more logical.

According to NASCAR's website..the race is on Sunday, the 6th, not the 5th so ND vs Texas could very well be at 3:30.

The cup race is Sunday, their secondary series run on Saturday.

In which they would most certainly have that race on NBCSN and have ND play at 3:30 on the main channel.

Maybe. But their TV contract has a certain amount of races being on NBC and NBCSN. It's not mystery ND opens up that day. I kinda think this might be a night game.

The offseason.

 

[clashmore_mike]

Looking at the schedule on the NASCAR website, it shows which network airs each race. There are separate logos for NBC and NBCSPORTS. The race on the 5th is on NBC at 3:30.

Ours is just to watch or die.

Do any of you Insider's know IF the Clemson game will be televised and in prime-time? How about the Temple and Pitt games...televised or not?

 

[blueNDgold44]

Every game will be televised

 

[IRISH in MT]

Every game will be televised

Do you think Clemson and Pitt will be prime-time? I had my doubts about Temple...

Borrowing Clemson or ND bombing in the first part of the season, It definitely will be on primetime.

I had to upgrade my Uverse two or three years ago to see the Air Force game in Colorado. It was on that other NBC network...

I did the same 2 years ago to watch one on the CBS Sports Network. 2 years later I've yet to remember to lower it back down. Uverse 1, my household 0.

LOL...I haven't lowered my back down either. I believe it was the CBS Sports Network now that I think about it.
