Does anyone know the story behind the 7:05 kickoff time? I was expecting 4:05.

I think it's a good time. Don't know any stories, but I think it gives families from the Cedar Valley, as well as students a lot of time to get back from home for this game. So everyone, have a great Thursday and Friday, heck even a good family meal on Saturday at noon and then get on the road to the DOME!

UNI pretty much knew that it was going to be a 7pm kickoff if they got a home game. I don't know if it is trying to spread out the games or what. I know gateway opponents hated the 7pm kickoffs. It should make for a long day for EWU which will hopefully help us. Maybe there'll be a bus delay like we experienced at Deleware a few years ago. Seems like everytime we go on the road we run into something like that. Or waiting in an airport for 4 hours.Originally posted by Blue42If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game.

2 years ago it was 7:05 too. I don't have any inside info for you, but I'm just going to say that it's been 7:05 in the past. We are also hosting the MVC Volleyball Tournament this weekend and the Championship game is at 3:30, so they probably want to get the volleyball crowd out of the way before the football crowd comes storming through.Coach Whisenhunt 1/18/09. "There was never any complaints about not being named the starter, all he wanted was an opportunity and he took advantage of it. Kurt is probably one of the greatest individuals you'll ever meet. Kurt worked hard on a lot of things that a lot of times older quarterbacks aren't willing to do. That's a credit to his humility and his competitive drive, and the reason that we are here today in great part is what Kurt Warner has done for us."Comment

Also, the Valley Volleyball championship is @ 3:30 PM Saturday in the West Gym...it would be nice to have thave event completed before the football game starts
!!!
Wouldn't watching UNI Volleyball compete for a conference championship Saturday afternoon be a perfect tailgate for the play-offs??? GO PANTHERS!!!

8:05 EST
7:05 CST
5:05 PST (or whatever it's called)The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.Comment

I'm guessing they like the first round to take all day (constant stream of images, audio and information), so places that CAN play at night (lights, and in our case, comfort) play at night.Comment

Havent quite a few of our home playoff games been at 7 p.m. over the years? I'm almost positive the Montana State game was although I think the Maine game was during the day.Comment

Yes the Maine game was suppose to be played like late morning, but ended up being delayed about 30 min/1 hr. because of the snow storm. They had to bring in equipment to remove the snow off the field before they could play!!Originally posted by UNI MadCatComment

I believe we prefer the 7:00pm starts on the holiday weekend to allow families to enjoy their meals, etc. Also it allows for the students to possibly come back since the dorms close down after mid week.Comment
