OSU Football: TCU Kickoff Time, TV Details Announced

Oklahoma State will have an afternoon kickoff when it begins conference play against TCU. OSU announced the Week 4 home game will kick off at 2:30 p.m. and will air on either ABC, ESPN or ESPN 2.

The Cowboys played five afternoon games a year ago and six dreaded early games (Homecoming against West Virginia was at 11:00 a.m. kick and Bedlam was 11:30 a.m.).

It’s good news for Mike Gundy who prefers the afternoon games over the later affairs for the sake of TV coverage.

“It’s a good time to play,” Gundy told The O’Colly last year. “You get a lot of television audience. It is unusual, but obviously television dictates a lot of what happens.”

“It’s good for Stillwater,” Gundy said. “Most everybody can get here in time for The Walk, gives fans a chance to tailgate for a couple hours, and then also allows the families that travel an hour, an hour and a half to get home before it’s too late when they have little kids.”

Plus, it leaves plenty of time for an evening dove hunt.
