Poor BDF...

Change.Org Petition: "Move the TTU v UT game to the afternoon"

Letter to: Big 12 Conference, University of Texas, Texas Tech University, and FOX SPORTS NETWORK.
Subject: Move the TTU v UT game to the afternoon.

Supporters' Top Comments:

-Morning games are the number 1 cause of sunburn and consequently skin cancer.
Sean Settle, Lubbock, TX

-9am tailgate last time almost made me end up in the hospital
Bailey Renfroe, Lubbock, TX

-I am a Texas tech alumni. Knowing the rivalry of the game and the countless people who will be traveling to watch one of the biggest home games for tech. To put this game at 11am makes me very disinterested in traveling from Houston to Lubbock my one chance a year. I can only imagine all of the others who now have to face this tough decision. Move the game to later and fill an 11 o clock game with at least teams a lot less people care about.
Ethan Reid, Houston, TX

-Trying to blackout later in the day not at 11
Alicia Rodriguez, Fort Worth, TX

-Because drinking at 9 AM is detrimental to my health
Ryan Harrington, Lubbock, TX

-Because 11 am tailgate for our last home game is a joke
Alex Patti, The Colony, TX

-11am games are stupid, especially the last home game of the season against texas
Ren Ellis, Grapevine, TX

-A can't even wake up for my 11 ams
Cathleen Cash, Lubbock, TX

-It's my last home game as a Red Raider! I want a full day to enjoy it!
Holly Bearden, Lubbock TX

-I believe it's appropriate to make an important game available to everyone concerning time management
Lenre Longe, Mesquite, TX

-Patrick mahomes plays better in the afternoon
Sydney Watson, Lubbock, TX

-It is dangerous for college students to drink this early
Josh Bulla, Lubbock, TX

-I hate morning games and Texas fans deserve at least a good morning since the rest of there day is going to be ****ty. Wreck em
Pax Oldfield, Plainview, TX

-Please don't make the Goin' Band get up to rehearse at 9am. Have mercy
Emily Reed, Spring, TX

-I'm signing because as a season ticket holder I believe this rivalry should be a full tailgating game. Even if it started at 3:30 or so, but 11 a.m is unacceptable.
Clayton Stanford, Amarillo, TX

-11:00 games are way too early for rivelry games like this one. Fans, as well as players, need more time to travel and get prepared for these types of games. An afternoon time, 2:30 or even 6:00 would be better.
Joel Clary, Lubbock, TX

-People will start drinking at 9 AM and will die of alcohol poisoning!!
Dylan Blair, Lubbock TX

Serious question. Has a change.com petition ever changed anything?

Call the LHN. I'm sure they would be willing to broadcast a night game for you.

If the sips don't play this game at 11am and therefore don't get the tv money for the game, their AD will be in the red.

11:00 am kickoff is bad for ITT "grads", because it will interfere with their noon pizza delivery routes.

Maybe they are going for a 9:30 PM game. That was a big winner for the horns earlier this season.

10 is the key number for this game.

Tceh is hoping to score 10 TDs While tu hopes for 10 points.

Then, in the second half......

Time for both tu & tceh to embrace irrelevance.

But tu has at last found a "rival". That's nice.

It would be funny to see Kliff guide his team to 59 points and 800yds against the sips.

Charlie Strong is a defensive genius. TBAT will be lucky to get 100 yards and a Field Goal.

Poor, entitled little snowflake. She wants it, so the network should just move the game for her.

Oh well, soon enough she'll be dancing full time at Baby Doll's.

Look at it this way, 11am is kickoff, not when you start tailgating.

Get up at 9am and get your stuff together and by 10am you could be drinking heavily.

What is the kickoff time for the CUSA game of the week? Is that channel near FS1?

How do they not realize that 11 am gives both programs the best chance to win a time slot? The BDF gets murdered at any prime time showing. It's good strategy for the BDF to put its best games at 11.

No way they win that time slot with a Top 10 SEC team also playing at 11:00. Also there could be another BDF game on an ESPN network Is this game on the Speed Network?. If it is, it will be the only thing fast about this game. With these defenses, first team to 100 wins.

All joking aside, I hate 11:00 kickoffs, but when you sell out to the networks, they own you.

Bobby Bowden once said, "When TV says they want a 2:00 kickoff, I always ask, is that am or pm?"

Unfortunately for the Big 12, most of the Texas fans will be watching another game.

Can we start a petition to just not even air it? Then the time won't matter, and no one outside of those delusional fab bases would have to watch. It's a win-win.
