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.

WOW!!! Thats almost all I can say. Words cannot explain how happy I am to see that we get to go out in style. There have been many games that I have been at where I literally felt the OB shaking. Come Nov. 10, we are tearing that place down baby!! GO CANES!
I hope the team and the fans bring their A games to give the Orange Bowl a going away game it truly deserves. Virginia is just the kind of middle of the road ACC team that we have had issues with the last few years. I would like to think that the crowd will be a wild one, and I would love to see a sell out for once. I believe the team will feed off the energy of the stadium and deliver a great performance. We can't have the last game played their be a loss against an average team. A night game would be a great send off for this historic place. Do you know what they are going to do with it after this season? Will they tear it down?

It's on the ACC's website too, so it looks like it's going to happen.
I hope it's true because I've been hoping for this.....it'll just feel more special at night. And you can bet your ass I'm coming back to No. Ga. with something from the OB for all the great memories I've had in that place...

Miami really knows how to throw a party! It's a shame they forgot to invite the football team.
It's all about the U: Unranked & Unimportant.
