	Report Comment Arbythree, Tulsa (5/19/2009 3:42:07 PM) I hate that kick-off time!!!!! Anyone who has been to the game knows that it is a horrible time, for a myriad of reasons.
	Report Comment 57 Nomad, Tulsa (5/19/2009 4:07:35 PM) I agree arby. I don't understand this at all. I wonder if they had problems in the parking lot with tailgaters in the past?
	Report Comment Ignatz, Broken Bow (5/19/2009 4:10:47 PM) Big bucks folks, TV tells the BCS boys what to do.
	Report Comment Peter Piper, TULSA (5/19/2009 4:22:46 PM) Early Prediction: Texas 37 Oklahoma 17 Mr. Stoops' era drawing down---
	Report Comment Bullhead, Nicut (5/19/2009 9:49:26 PM) EXACTLY! nagnagnag. We're not finished yet! OU 49 Tx 21
	Report Comment Bullhead, Nicut (5/19/2009 9:50:04 PM) I hope someone at the TW saves these predictions. Maybe I'll bookmark this one.
	Report Comment shaw411, Scottsdale, AZ (5/19/2009 10:37:02 PM) That means I will have to tune in at 9:00 am here in the desert. Boomer Sooner!!!
	Report Comment texasbill, (5/20/2009 7:26:37 AM) BOOMER
	Report Comment JED, Tulsa (5/20/2009 8:13:41 AM) NO! NO! NO! 11AM start times is TERRIBLE for this game. To say that it "allows OU fans more time to return to Norman for the U2 concert" is REDICULOUS. Norman is 2.5 hours from Dallas and the concert is SUNDAY night. How much time do we need? This game should ALWAYS be at 2:30. ABC can still nationally televise it at 2:30 and make the regional game start at 11.
	Report Comment Matt in BA, Broken Arrow (5/20/2009 8:43:52 AM) Way too early for this game, I have to wake up so early after a Friday nite of parties to make it to Boren's brunch, but with 11am game time, its now a breakfast. My prediction of the score OU 45 TX 35. And I might add, on a neutral field. BOOMER.
	Report Comment 57 Nomad, Tulsa (5/20/2009 8:59:56 AM) I may have found the answer. USC is at Notre Dame on the same day.
	Report Comment Michael C., Tulsa (5/20/2009 9:35:37 AM) Yup this is the WORST time possible for this kickoff. NO football game needs to be played at this time. What a joke. This always makes for a logistical nightmare around the Cotton Bowl. Who likes getting up this early for a game? I hope this isn't necessarily set in stone.
	Report Comment Deep In The Heart, (5/20/2009 9:57:48 AM) That will give Texas fans at the Cotton Bowl more time to laugh at the loser Sooners after the game's over. Last year there was such a rush of crimson high-tailing it through the exit gates, it created a breeze (this was BEFORE the game was over). Texas 45, OU 21
	Report Comment SoonerDJ, Lisbon, Portugal (5/20/2009 10:23:36 AM) I like this time. That is 5 PM for me. The late games really kill my party time. Primetime is a 2 AM start time.
	Report Comment 57 Nomad, Tulsa (5/20/2009 10:44:08 AM) OU 100 TX 0
	Report Comment Steff M, Claremore (5/20/2009 12:45:50 PM) ABC will "most likely" make the game a national telecast? Like they were considering not making it a national telecast? When was the last time it wasn't? Definitely too early though for the people attending.
	Report Comment sidster, Tulsa (5/20/2009 1:26:04 PM) Stop crying about this game is too early. It would have to be a OU or Texas fan crying about this.
	Report Comment Steff M, Claremore (5/21/2009 8:27:04 AM) I don't know when stating an opinion became crying. And I'm not sure who else would be opposed to the time. Did you expect to see a K-State or Michigan or Georgia fan upset about the OU-Texas start time? The game is among the top 2 or 3 biggest games of the college football regular season and should not begin in the morning. That's all.
	Report Comment Arbythree, Tulsa (5/21/2009 11:26:49 AM) If USC is at Notre Dame as you say 57 Nomad, all we have to do is get someone at ND to invite President Obama to the game and ND will cancel it, then OU can play at the appropriate time. LOL!!
	Report Comment Arbythree, Tulsa (5/21/2009 3:58:50 PM) SOONER!!!!!
