While better to be neutral somewhere…. Being Week 0 and game #1 in CFB is big time. All eyes on CU. Last year’s Nub/Nwestern game drew nearly 5 mil viewersIf they put all the work in to flex to week zero for a low exposure 8pm game in Tempe, then the pac12 is truly dumber than I thought
It hasn't been announced or finalized at all. I think Coach Prime leaked it early being strategic about the stage he had. No one officially confirming and I don't think the Pac releases the conference schedule until April.Hasn’t it already been announced that it’s in Tempe?
Nub/NW didnt play at 10pm EST thoughWhile better to be neutral somewhere…. Being Week 0 and game #1 in CFB is big time. All eyes on CU. Last year’s Nub/Nwestern game drew nearly 5 mil viewers
It better be in Glendale then. The Pac12 isn't doing this for a 10pm ET kickoff... They aren't still that dumb right?
Why would the CU-ASU be at that time when there's little competition that day? Could be if the network determines that's the most valuable slot, but could easily end up as the 7pm ET / 4pm PT, for example, or something else.Nub/NW didnt play at 10pm EST though
If it’s in Tempe, 9pm ET is probably the earliest it will be playedNub/NW didnt play at 10pm EST though
I'd rather work out kinks against a non-conf opponentwhat advantage would we have on tcu? IMO this gives us the oppty to work out 1st game kinks against another program who will be doing the same. With max exposure
well, in August 9PM ET = 10PM ESTIf it’s in Tempe, 9pm ET is probably the earliest it will be played
There's no way we're agreeing to play outside in Tempe in August.
CU vs ASU would be that late if it's outdoors at Sun Devil Stadium...Why would the CU-ASU be at that time when there's little competition that day? Could be if the network determines that's the most valuable slot, but could easily end up as the 7pm ET / 4pm PT, for example, or something else.
Correction. I guess the P12 schedule announcement is actually delayed.It hasn't been announced or finalized at all. I think Coach Prime leaked it early being strategic about the stage he had. No one officially confirming and I don't think the Pac releases the conference schedule until April.
You're overthinking this. I haven't seen anything on a portal QB heading to TCU-so I would think Chandler Morris is the leader in the clubhouse right now to start for them. If I'm wrong, correct me. I don't know about you guys-but I wasn't wowed by him in the first half last year. Two, TCU's likely to bring back both coordinators. The college carousel is over barring somebody like Lincoln Riley wanting to try his hand at the NFL or a late retirement. Three, any game we play is big from an attention standpoint next year. In terms of how important TCU is to the success of the season overall.......we need a bowl-which makes Nebraska, CSU, both Arizona games, WSU. Stanford, and Oregon State more important.They have. I tape on us. We can obv speculate what we think the offense and defense will be but we’re not sure. They’ll get a full games tape of it. That’s huge
Zero competition in week zero. Nation hungry for football. This matchup will draw a ton of eyeballs
He may have been. But numerous “sources” coming out and saying the same thing.DID ANYONE STOP TO CONSIDER HE WAS MAKING A ****ING JOKE?! Holy hell. This was the national championship game, before anyone knew the outcome, they were talking about TCU. They said that he would open with TCU next season. He made a comment implying he doesn't want to open at TCU because they are good, and would rather have ASU because they aren't as good. Changing football schedules this late in the process is pretty difficult to do.
Not really. COVID showed that. How you guys have forgotten the San Diego State game that year (which I think was arranged on 48 hours notice).DID ANYONE STOP TO CONSIDER HE WAS MAKING A ****ING JOKE?! Holy hell.

Notre dame / Navy in irelandAll I've found so far on the Week 0 schedule so far is USC vs SJSU and Vanderbilt vs Hawai’i. Any others?
The Hawaii home slate is Stanford, Albany, New Mexico State, Air Force, San Diego State, San Jose State, and CSU.All I've found so far on the Week 0 schedule so far is USC vs SJSU and Vanderbilt vs Hawai’i. Any others?

That would solve the issue of asking ASU to give up a home game, since a move to Glendale is essentially an ASU home game and it solves the heat problem, which honestly is more an issue for traveling Buff fans than it is for the Sun Devil faithful.Maybe they'll move the game to Glendale.
Having lived in the Phoenix metro, my experience was that locals did everything they could to avoid being outdoors when it was 110+. You don't acclimate to that type of heat - you adjust how you live to avoid it (like doing your daily walk or jog at 4:30am).That would solve the issue of asking ASU to give up a home game, since a move to Glendale is essentially an ASU home game and it solves the heat problem, which honestly is more an issue for traveling Buff fans than it is for the Sun Devil faithful.
At 8:00 PM in Tempe in late August it will likely be in the mid to high 90s. The problem is late Aug is in the second half of Monsoon Season so the humidity will be a very atypical 50-65%. Not good. I was in Tempe at a night Buff game in early Sept way back when and the ASU fans were relatively happy while the 3 rows or so of CU fans were fidgeting and sweating up a storm. None of us had ever been so hot in the dark of night.Having lived in the Phoenix metro, my experience was that locals did everything they could to avoid being outdoors when it was 110+.

Yeah Deion's the reason people will watch.The national audience you speak of won’t be much outside of asu and cu fans. You’ll have the eyes interested in Deion sure but it won’t be half what it would have been playing TCU fresh off the national championship game. Make it oregon or usc sure. No one gives a **** about Arizona state. The money it makes by having it a “pac12” broadcast isn’t worth it imo. Not to mention our biggest advantage going in to TCU is no one knows what to expect. We’re losing that right away
