I’m not sure if any of you are working on the scheduling puzzle for kick times or planning your potential road trips but I am pretty confident that OSU/ILL will be a 7:30 NBC kick if that helps at all

It's just nice to be in a place where we don't have nine 11am rooster kicks anymore.

1 pm kickoff is interesting and a break from the usual 11/2:30 slots.

Certainly better than 11, but I was really hoping for at least 2:30. Talking to several SIU fans coming up and wanted more tailgate time. I'll have to leave home at 5 am to get 4 hours of tailgate time in.
Leave it to Peacock.

Pretty annoying to essentially lose out on a game of your season ticket package if you can't make it to Champaign on a Thursday, especially after the price hike/reseating process. Definitely annoying to not have as many fans in the stadium.

I just wish that the schedule was set before season ticket renewals are due. Out-of-state season ticket holders might opt out if they knew that two of the games were going to be held on a weeknight.

That was the normal kickoff time when I was a student in the late 70s/early 80s.
