Some of the higher ups actually DO get it. After weeks of flipping and flopping, Miami landed the coveted night game for the season finale at the Orange Bowl. We’re looking at a 7:15pm ET kickoff and as hoped for, the freaks will come out at night.
I shudder to even think what a noon kickoff would’ve felt like for the Orange Bowl’s swan song. Even 3:30pm ET would’ve been decent, but not good enough. With all the tradition and history, this needs to be an all night thing. I can’t even imagine how many lunatics will try to steal their seats or some sort of memorabilia.
Again, this was just reported by Manny Navarro at Herald.com and the kid is usually spot on, so I’ll pass the news along here. I’m still trying to get conformation from a few ESPN contacts of mine. Will keep everyone in the loop.
