Donald Emmons of The Blade has done some research. Backstory: Coach Clawson has been talking at pressers that he much prefers an earlier start---noon, or even 11 AM. There's just too much time for anxiety, etc, in the day-long wait for a road game.
The Emmons research shows:
For the record, Clawson's career coaching record for games with noon starting times is 9-1, including BG's 31-17 triumph at Ball State last Saturday.
Saturday's game is a noon start. So, you know, BG can't lose.
Seriously though, this is interesting. I suspect that most coaches feel this way. However, if they are coaching in the MAC, they are SOL. When you league starts off letting ESPN choose November game times, and then schedules the rest of the year around OSU and UM games, you end up with some pretty odd game times. And, you know, we bought those lights and everything.
