Question and I am being serious and not asking with ulterior motive. Why does Fox have this game at 11am? Is there some financial, logistical or very good reason for the early kickoff?

Would think this game garnered 2:30 status or has it always been an 11am kick?

It’s almost always an 11 o’clock kick.  I guess it’s become a tradition.   Not sure why.   They do the same thing with Army-Navy and it’s usually the only game on that Saturday.

I thought CBS had Army/Navy?

They do.  But always an early game. 

I guess I just don't understand the logic behind Fox putting this game first on a Saturday schedule. To me a 2:30-3pm start would be better.

Agreed.  Like I said, it’s been tradition.  Even when both were top 5.  Outanup may be right with it having to do with the fair as well.

As long as I can remember, because of the state fair and fans interactions with each other. 

Used to be lots of fights. Always that way with rivals. 

Time is a non-renewable resource 

This ain't last year 

This ain't last month

From my understanding, it's because the 11am game is considered a national game, while the 230 games are considered regional. There are a lot more games on the slate at 230 so it is plausible.

Confirmed reason is OU fans past issues with OD’ing on corny dogs prior to game...

OU’s defense looks to be greatly improved 

They’re looking great today that’s for sure. I know texas needs to stretch the field, but I’d sure like to see some short routes and receptions turn into big plays, or at least to keep the chains moving.
