Fans Pissed Over Noon Kickoff For Penn State/Ohio State

Matt Sniegowski | Onward State

Fox Sports sent the college football world into a frenzy Wednesday afternoon when it announced that the highly anticipated matchup between No. 4 Penn State and No. 1 Ohio State is officially slated for a noon kickoff.

Fans quickly took to Twitter to share their frustrations and blow off some steam. To say they were pissed might be the biggest understatement of the century.

Seriously?! WTF!

Whoever decided to play y’all’s best game at 11am central should not only be fired, but incarcerated. Move this to 7pm central, please.

@foxsportspr
Get a clue – noon games are terrible for a big event like this. Why take it away from the players and the fans? West coast = 9am.

A select few saw the silver lining in all of this. What’s better than some Buckeyes for the most important meal of the day?

Scrambled eggs and Buckeyes for breakfast out here in Oregon! LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOO!
