1. With OUr football team set to kick off at 4:30 Friday, Dec. 30, wouldn't it be wise to reschedule the tip off time in the Convo for OUr basketball team? Perhaps a noon start time, allowing Bobcat fans to get home in time for the football game instead of the current start time of 7 p.m.?

Maybe the people in charge figure younger fans who'll find the bowl game on Barstool wouldn't be at the Convo to begin with while the older fans planning on being in the Convo have no clue how to stream the football game?

2. Looking ahead to the MAC opener, Ohio is scheduled to play at Buffalo on Jan. 3, a Tuesday. And, if ESPN can be trusted, that workday game is set to start at 12:05. Why? Won't members of the local UB fanbase be at work? And what about those who would like to catch the game on ESPN+?

Not to just bash ya - but I seriously doubt we're the only fan base that has these challenges come up - especially the P5's....

The Buffalo basketball schedule page lists it as a 7 PM start

This is logical and makes a ton of sense. Those are two qualities -- logical thinking and making sense -- that I haven't seen out of the AD's office recently, so I doubt it will happen.

I suggest sending an email to the Athletic Director, I’m sure they would be responsive

Please share with us the lack of logical thinking you've experienced with the AD's office recently.

But one example: Scheduling football kickoffs that conflict with Evil Empire games. And, I'm talking about games that are only on ESPN+ where clearly we set the times not ESPN.

Does anyone have any clarity on that Jan 3 time @ Buffalo? ESPN has to just have that plain wrong, right? Jan 3 is a regular business day.

Obviously Ohio is not the only fan base facing these challenges.

Secondly, seems like this topic is gaining traction (of the supportive variety) in the Chicago St. game thread.

Just saying. . . not to just bash ya . . .
