Texas A&M Football gets 11 a.m. kickoff on Sept. 16

The early weeks of football season in Texas, however joyous, are usually pretty miserable when it comes to temperatures. That’s why many fans were pleasantly surprised to see Texas A&M’s early season slate give somewhat of a reprieve from these conditions. The Aggies start the season in Pasadena, facing UCLA in the Rose Bowl at 6:30 p.m. (central time) on Fox. They then return to College Station for their home opener on Sept. 9, yet another evening kickoff, this time at 6 p.m. on ESPNU.

But we all knew the penance would come, and it has come in the form of Sept. 16. When the Ags take on the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns, they’ll do so at the dreaded 11 a.m. kickoff time on SEC Network.

Start hydrating now, folks.
