UGA vs. Colorado Kickoff Set for 12:30 pm

Well. Damn. I'm not sure when we joined the Big 10 and signed up for all these early afternoon kickoff times, but I'm against it. Lincoln Financial Sports will televise the Dawgs vs. Colorado at 12:30 on Sept. 23rd. (Note: Lincoln Financial Sports Affiliates)

On the worst SEC TV week of the year, I thought we were a lock for a nationally televised game. Then Dan Hawkins went and promptly dropped a Jedi Turd all over the Buffalo program. As the Buffaloes stare down the barrel of 0-3, they have played themselves (and us) off national TV. As punishment for their poor play, their families (if they can find a sports bar that has the Lincoln Financial game on satellite) will have to wake up at the crack of dawn for this 10:30 am Mountain Time kickoff.

By the way, the ESPN night game that day is Kentucky vs. Florida at 7:45 pm. Does anyone really think that's going to be a good game? Obviously not.

Other SEC games of dis-interest that week include:
    Alabama at Arkansas - CBS
    Buffalo at Auburn
    Kentucky at Florida - ESPN
    Colorado at Georgia - LP Financial
    Tulane at LSU
    Wake Forest at Ole Miss
    Mississippi State at UAB
    Florida Atlantic at South Carolina
    Marshall at Tennessee - ESPN (unannounced time)
    Tennessee State at Vanderbilt
I just hope that we didn't ASK for the 12:30 start in order to avoid a night game in Athens. That would be very interesting to know.
