When will they, whoever they are, pick the time for the kickoff?

It will be decided on September 25th by the TV network potentially showing that game. I, for one, will be livid if they allow homecoming events to be moved for television.

I am kind of hoping they will be moved back. If the game is at 2pm and they move the Homecoming parade back an hour that would make it much easier for me to get my family to.

That's the standard, traditional time. 10am Parade time, 2pm kickoff. Frankly, I don't know why Homecoming Game can't be at 3pm or so, and the parade just a hair later than is 10am time slot. For some reason Ohio Athletics is married to 2pm start times.

I think it would be a stretch for the parade to be moved.

I started school in 2009 and every parade in those 8 years have gone on at time stated ahead of time.

The game on the other hand I could see being moved - probably not to an evening contest but a few hours either way.

TV keeps the lights on.

If you see the link, it states parade at 9 if the game is noon, and 10 if the game is at 2pm.

Totally agree! That day's schedule should not be held hostage by ESPN 8.
