Remember how many people were pissed off over the 7:00pm or 7:30pm kickoffs last year for games? Remember our OSU game that started at 7:30? Or our Cal game that started at 8:00pm?

Well, it looks like the Pac-12 is responding by opening a new window for games to start at 11:00am on the Pac-12 Network.

Here's the link: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2014/06/08/pac-12-restates-call-for-reform-at-end-of-meetings/10204591/

It's not my favorite time (12:30pm) but it's an improvement over games that start at 7pm or later. I'm guessing we're looking at Georgia State and maybe Colorado as 11am games now.

    as a parent, it's impossible for me to watch a game real-time and so the night games were awesome for me b/c I could watch them almost live and no spoilers... now I'll have to figure out how to avoid all forms of technology for an entire day before I can retire to the man cave for some football. The more night games in the Pac12 the better for a guy like me.

    Huh? What does being a parent have to do with not watching day games?

    Mine are 2 and 4. I don't miss games. Just sayin... But I'm a good father the rest of the year.

    Take your kids to Husky games?

    Brainwash them from an early age and have them watch with you?

    Give them $20 and tell them to go for ice cream in Spokane/Victoria/Calgary?
