Late afternoon football

The time of the Penn State-Syracuse football game in the Carrier Dome has been set at 3:30 pm on ABC. That brings the number of announced game start times to five, all of which occur at 3:30 or later.

The Nittany Lions' contests against Illinois (Sept. 27), at Wisconsin (Oct. 11) and at Ohio State (Oct. 25) have been set for primetime national TV exposure. In addition, Penn State's 89 homecoming game against Michigan on Oct. 18 will kick at 4:30 p.m. and air on ESPN or ESPN2. The Illinois and Ohio State games will kick at 8 p.m. on one of the ABC-ESPN networks while the game against the Badgers will kick off at 7 p.m. on ESPN or ESPN2.

Yeah we're talking about game start times, it's officially the dead period before summer practice begins. Man we need something to talk about; is NCAA 09 out yet? I can't WAIT to ice the kicker.
