Florida game time announcement?
- Thread starter 23jumpboy
- Start date
Hope so I'm waiting to see if it's a Saturday Night game. If so I'll see everyone at Kroger Field
Kentucky at Vandy plus Charlotte at UF = prime time game on ESPN2 the following weekend.
If UK slaughters Candy both teams will be top 25 heading into that matchup.
No way the Deuce passes on that.
Even ESPN isnt “that” stupid.

It’s announced today, so next game results don’t matter. Occasionally they will do an “either or” but that is usually for which channel, not the time slot.
You can kiss the SEC on CBS game goodbye. For you it would be that 4:00 SEC Network start but I’d give someone 100-1 odds UK/UF would get thrown there.
Florida beating UT helps our chances at getting a night game for UF. We will be projected to be 4-0 and hosting a ranked 3-1 Florida team. Hoping for primetime ESPN / ESPN2 or SEC.
Florida game is at noon, man that sucks, that game should be the 7:30 kickoff on SEC network
We are getting the shaft on game times this season. Three noon games so far. That bites.
Of course the SEC doesn't want poor pitiful Florida playing on a potentially colder night in Lex. Gotta keep the sun out for the suck azz reptiles.

That scar Vs Tennessee game should be the noon game, and Kentucky vs Florida should be the 7:30 game, that’s bs
I was hoping you were pulling everyone's chain, but unfortunately it's true.....

They played a good team and beat them. They have played two good top 25 teams.
Playing dog crap teams for 3 games and looking like dog crap against the weakest of the 3 hurt UK.
Our crowd will be hyped regardless since it’s Florida, but there’s just no comparison in a rowdy 7:00 or 7:30 crowd vs noon. It’s like an entirely different environment. I was desperately hoping for a night game.
What time do people start tailgating for noon games? My friends and I are coming down from Chicago and are super bummed about this but we will get there as early as we need to. Will get to Lex on Friday now.
It sucks, that game should clearly be a nightmare game, I don’t know why gave scar vs Tennessee the nodI was hoping you were pulling everyone's chain, but unfortunately it's true.....

Win the next two and we’ll get CBS or ESPN prime time for UGA. Noon games suck though, really messes up my plans.
Late Sept nights can be in the 40s. We usually play Florida early in Sept vs late. Temp can be a difference maker for a team that isn't used to playing under those conditions like UK is.
I like it. Noon games favor the home team…usually.
IDK. I used to live in Jacksonville/grew up in Central KY. Central KY doesn't typically get cold enough (consistently low 30s or below) to make a difference to teams hailing from North Florida until Jan/Feb. September weather in KY impacting the Gators?--not likely.
The whole...."cold weather will impact UF in Lexington" is dubious at best unless we get a freak weather event in the fall. Either way, Gainesville isn't exactly equatorial South America. We're cooler than them, but not by too much this time of year. Even in a night game, temps in the 40s would mean little to Florida teams IMO.
GBB!
This is true for UGA.
If we beat vandy, we should get a great slot for uga regardless. I assume game time for that is picked next Monday.
NavyCat that’s what I love about Kentucky, some of these fans are amazing at weather. Like the first game of the season there will be frost the night before another noon kickoff and the field will still be wet and cold 🍺
How could I?
I lost a friend to spontaneous combustion on the 23rd row of that equatorial Hell of Southern Mississippi.
Ply em in Nov - like in the old days. They hated the snow (but still won).
Actually the KO for the EKU game was at 3PM, but I get your point about the day games. As another poster stated, our less than scintillating performances so far this season probably didn't help us in terms of getting the night game time slot.
I guess it depends on how the games go, but UGA already played 1 3:30 game on CBS and have AU at that time on the 30th. Maybe if both are 5-0 but not sure UGA would get back to back games on CBS. I think the prime time ESPN game more likely.
Happy to play them in November, but I wouldn't hold my breath for snow. Late Dec, Jan and Feb?....possibly.
Snow or no snow, the chance of us getting cold enough Fall weather in Lexington to knock UF off their game is kind of slim.
Also, they transition out of hot weather too in North Florida. They don't get snow too much but it does get cool in the Fall and somewhat cold in the winter.
GBB!
Lol, people act like Kentucky is in the mid-west. We have the same climate as Alabama and Tenneessee if you run off climate maps made by actual weather experts.
Agreed but with what Florida has done the last 2 years you would think they would have to do a bit more to get back into the polls. Remains to be seen if TN is as good as advertised or if perhaps overrated some.
While I won’t argue that UK should be ranked and/or that we command total respect when it comes to tv scheduling, I will say I’m very baffled as to putting our game at noon. 4:00 game is Mizz vs Vandy and 7:30 game is UT vs SC.
UK paired with a newly ranked UF team I felt would garner a more prime time slot but I was wrong. I’ve always heard the argument that earlier games favor the road team so here’s hoping we wake up before halftime!
