OU football: Why OU prefers to avoid 11 a.m. kickoffs


Amen....thanks you Joe C!

While the Sooners can only push back so much regarding Saturday kickoff times, the athletic department has resisted other pressures from television networks.

“We will not host a Thursday night collegiate game here,” Castiglione said. “We just won't. We've said no a lot more times than people ever realize.”

This part is complete bullshit.

"Since the start of the 2013 season, Oklahoma and Iowa State have each had seven such home kickoffs. Kansas has six.
Baylor and Texas haven't had a single 11 a.m. start at their home stadiums in that span."

Huh. WTF is that and why is it that Boren and Castiglione allow that to happen.
How about Texas and Baylor get the next 14 combined 11:00am starts then.

At some point you have to put your foot down, and this may be this point, but Jesus Christ get on top of something like that before it gets out of hand. Sounds like we just say "OK" to the networks and they're pussies and go the path of least resistance and ask us and dont ask anyone else, and poof, we get a shit ton of 11:00am games.
