      TV on ESPN2. Probably their decision I would guess.
      It's my kind of team, Charlie. My kind of team!

        I see its part of a MVC double header. Perhaps after some other 1:00 game?

          So Cat80 can watch the game and still make it to his 7:30 commitment.

            So I can finally take my son (who's 4) to a game, being in DSM it is tough to take him to a 7:00 game and he has been begging to go to every game. I like it, in fact I would like a few more early-late afternoon games.

              I really like the 4/5PM games. I think they fit into the slot that allows families to come and bring their kids, as it's before bedtime and after most of the youth sports programs throughout the day. Plus, it allows out of towners to make it up and still be able to get home before it's too late. Plus, I would think restaurant owners would like it b/c you either get the late lunch crowd or the late dinner crowd coming into their places due to the timing of the home game.

              But, the bottom line is that this game is as 5PM b/c ESPN says that's when it will be, as someone stated earlier.
              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.

                  I'm very happy it's at 5:00. My two year old will be able to be in attendance. Although I'm sure he'll be much more interested in chasing TC down than in actually watching the game.

And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

                    I am also thankful it is at five. My five year old can go to the game. He is pumped. He loves the panthers. We are counting down the days.

                      I like the early start too so I can get my old bones home and in bed before midnight.

                        The earlier start on weekends is GREAT! Kids can come, out-of-towners....makes so much more sense than 7 pm games on Saturdays/Sundays.
