Kickoff times for Nov. 22
Submitted by jpg on 11/10/2008 - 12:23
N.C. State @ UNC, noon (split Raycom)
Clemson @ Virginia, noon (split Raycom)
Boston College @ Wake Forest, 3:30 (ABC)
Duke @ Virginia Tech, 5:30 (ESPNU)
Florida State @ Maryland, 7:45 (ESPN)
On the ACC web site it says "reverse mirror on ESPN or ESPN2" for the BC-Wake game. I have no Earthly idea what that means.
Update (from Jonathan Tannenwald of Soft Pretzel Logic): the reverse mirror is when ESPN or ESPN2 carries an ABC regional game in that time slot that is not broadcast on the ABC affiliate in that market.
And, hey, look the ACC is getting an actual conference game on in primetime on Saturday. Way to go fellas.
Also, good for the ACC and its TV partners for splitting the noon game. In years past, either fans in North Carolina would be out of luck for the State-UNC game or the neighboring states would be more interested in their own teams. Good compromise.

UNC
Tue, 11/11/2008 - 11:46 — gvillegatrthis game should have least been at 530 on the U but i'm thinking Raycom had first shot.
how much does anyone want to bet, after UNC runs the table like i've ben saying for awhile now, all the pundits have UNC ranked inside the top 10 next year and talk about how good they will be. yet, they've been this good all season and no one talks about them.
given up
Tue, 11/11/2008 - 11:42 — gvillegatri've given up on wondering why. UNC is the most popular team in the land on any given day. thye are ranked higher than any other team in the ACC. they have been projected as the Chic - Fil - A Bowl representative (#2 in ACC) from this confernece for over a month now even though they were no better than middle of the road team at that time.
I bet the DUIke game will be at 11am!@!
Why is it....
Mon, 11/10/2008 - 19:43 — UNCAlumnusthat if UNC is regarded as possibly the best team in the ACC they get put in the noon slot for football games? I guess I'll have to wait until New Year's Eve or New Years night to see them in person not in the noon slot.
