The dreaded noon start.

I don't know if anybody can even compile our record for noon starts, but IMO we always suck when we play at noon for some reason.

Hopefully it won't matter.

What do you guys think? Has anybody else noticed this? Maybe I'm just remembering the Campo years where every other week was a noon start!
 
i rather it be early...get it over n done with, and move on with my life

instead of waiting, panicking, worrying....F that

right after i am done playing football in the AM i rush home n cowboys are on
 
I love the noon start. Hate the 3:15 start, especially if it's on the road. FOX + Joe Buck are just depressing to watch when it's against an east coast team
 
I love the noon start as well

I feel just like the posters above..I despise the wait..

with that said, we do struggle with 1PM starts like the OP mentioned..but ill chalk that up to a wade problem-like everything else..seriously
 
I don't care what time they start. All I want is another game that's not decided until the VERY last minute. :D

Get ready for another nail-biter. :laugh2:
 
You're right. The crowd seems extra dead for noon games... I think that's part of why we have ragged games at noon. Plus, we don't play that many noon games, so it's probably different for the players.

Personally, I love the 3:15 or Sunday Night games. I like catching at least parts of another game while listening to all the pregame shows. And our 3:15 games are usually bigger, national games, which are always more fun.
 
As long as it isn't a night game, I'm happy. It screws up my sleep ....

thats my guess..but its just a guess
 
Love the noon starts, especially when we win and our division rivals play later. Takes a load off my mind! LOL
 
i hate noon starts. I usually wake up at 11:30 on sundays so Im still outta it when the game starts. Plus, a noon game gives me a higher probability the game is blacked out in Houston...
 
I'm going to the game, and I always make it to a noon game so I have plenty of time to drive back to Abilene before it gets too late. In the last couple of years we've lost the games I've gone to, but before that we usually won, so I think we're okay for the noon games.
That doesn't mean we'll win this one, but if we don't it won't be because it's early.
 
nothing better then winning a noon game, then watching all the other games rooting for whatever helps us the most high atop of cloud nine.

AMEN to that!!!
 
Give me the 4:15pm game starts every week! That's what I love and what I grew up on. I only got to see 7-12 games a year growing up (pre1989), depending on how the shedule broke out and how good the team was.

Very seldom was a 1:00pm game televised in Phila. Maybe once a year. So I lived for the 2-3 Monday Night Games, Thanksgiving, the 2 Eagle games and that occasional national 4:00pm game.

I used to hate when we had the eagles in a national game I'd see anyway.

BTW Isn't it amazing I got to see so many Cowboy games back then. No wonder they're America's Team.

Yeah, I think if when you play is a problem for your football team, you have much bigger issues than that.

There's nothing better than a Cowboys' romp in the early game. Then you can relax and enjoy the rest of the slate.

And if they lose, well you didn't spend all day in front of the TV before getting let down.

That's exactly how i feel.....
 
I hate popping the top on a cold brew a 11:00 in the morning. No wait...that's not it.... I hate having to buy beer on Saturday because I can't on Sunday until noon. Somebody P.M. me on Saturday and remind me to go to the store.
