First game I get to see in person since 2015. Will be my son's first game too so I'm`excited about that but we have to leave at halftime to get to a wedding that starts about the time the game will wrap up. Unfortunately I can't talk my wife into wearing "wedding attire" to the game and sticking it out past halftime!

Totally changes travel plans. Another national TV showcase though.

That messes up my plans with my son playing 9 a.m./11 a.m. doubleheader in North Newark Little League fall baseball league. And this being my first year as a parent on parents' weekend. C'mon ESPN, picking up Kansas at Ohio? Really?

Dang, if it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.

Good news is you get the entire game

Oh joy...

Believe what you want, Irma created a void in their schedule, so the moved the next best game they have. Not sure why you find that hard to believe.

Now we need Irma to have passed by Ohio by Friday night, which I think will happen.

Is it safe to assume that lots will be accessible at 9-9:30am?

The logistics of getting equipment and people into hurricane-impacted areas, uncertainty about access to electricity since millions are without power and the optics of using generators/other resources for a football game instead of emergency response might have led ESPN to it's decision.

Make perfect sense. I think you've got this figured out.

Thanks for the correction Allen, I thought we were favorites.

There's an article in today's The Record about quarterback "quandaries".

One of the teams they talk about is Kansas,especially after last week's loss to CMU.
