Civil War Game Kickoff at Noon PST
They just announced a noon kickoff with the game being on the B1G network.
How is everyone liking all the early games? Personally, I like the 12-1 kicks, but rather have a later start than Saturdays 9 AM versus Northwestern. Wasn't a big concern about playing in the B1G that that they would make a bunch of late games? Last year seemed like way fewer late kicks and this season seems to be trending the same way.

Re: Civil War Game Kickoff at Noon PST
love it. this is one of the benes from Oregon joining the B1G. we'll have a 6 pm Friday kickoff for the Minnesota game this year, and I can see maybe UO-USC being 7 or 7:30 cuz it will still pull the large LA TV market. but most kickoffs in Autzen should be in the daylight going forward, this year & next.
we were on-the-road before 7:30 a.m. Saturday, and sailed along, despite the Bevo game also being 12:30. got to the coffee shop in Springfield by about 9:20 and set up the tailgater before 10.
left Autzen just after Shout and exited the city quicker than usual. there was the first wave of Beavis leaving Bean-Dip merging onto I-5 as we got to milepost 228, and things slowed for maybe 5 miles, and then unstuck. most BeavFans who witnessed that debacle of a loss then got jammed on I-5 with the rest of the returning Autzen crowd; probably took 3-4 hours to get home to PDX. 
as one who attends the games, I'm liking our move to the B1G better & better every year.
