Same for the residents of Dearborn county and Cincinnati. So much like I’ve told many UK fans, move to the other side of the river, I don’t care.

Impartial_Observer Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I’ve heard some schools putting out feelers looking for officials on Saturday. One southern Indiana matchup has already been moved to Saturday night 7:00, I’ll let the athletic departments make the announcement publicly. I suspect a bunch of dominos are about to fall.

Plymouthfan91 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Plymouth has already put into motion cancelling all outside activities for Thursday. Nothing about Friday yet. It is forecasted ONLY to be in the mid-80s up north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also to others... for sure should be central time... think about it... SNF- 715 start MNF- 730 start Tues/Wed/Thurs CBB games-- 6pm+8pm starts. It would be glorious. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDGiant93 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 1) The time is the time. I don't have the time to complain about time zones. That's something above my pay grade. 2) I'd really be shocked if most games aren't pushed back an hour or so if it's going to continue to be extremely hot on Friday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The time doesn't have to be the time, though. You took just as much time telling us you didn't want to take the time to complain about time zones, as it does to complain about them. 😅 Edited August 22, 2023 by btownqbcoach1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize that's back in the dark ages, but we were on Central Time, here in Indianapolis, at that time also. It was a lot more civilized, imho. I was at Cathedral mid to late 60's. Yea, if you wanted a seat at CYO, you'd better get there early. I do remember the 8 pm start times. I'm not sure when or why they decided to start at 7 pm. Of course, real grass, not the hotter field turf back in "ancient times" :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Indiana is forecasting 88 degrees for a high on Friday, so not much lower than that at 7 pm. Forecasting 82 for a high on Saturday but chance of storms in the morning.

AW0352 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I did a quick check on temps. 3:30 PM on Tuesday. Mishawaka is 84 degrees and feels like 85 evansville is 95 degrees and feels like 108. The heat index difference is insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, real grass, not the hotter field turf back in "ancient times" 🙂 CYO Field was grass at the beginning of the season, but not much was left at the end of the season. With Cathedral, Scecina and Sacred Heart all playing home games on that field, and Cadet football on Sundays, it got used up pretty badly. Varsity games were played on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays in those days. Field Turf is not as hot as the original Astro-Turf and some of the artificial "grass" that was on fields in the early days. Field Turf is quite "grasslike" nowadays in fact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonecrusher Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I think moving kickoff time back 60 minutes is the best option. I can tell you it's brutal on the field and in the stands that last couple hours of daylight in the earlier parts of the season down here in TX -- and we're used to these temps! Been 103-110 (with heat index 110-120) most of the summer. It's got to be even more difficult playing/spectating in temps like those if you're NOT used to it. Regarding time zone, I have always thought Indiana is too far west to BOTH be in eastern time and have daylight savings, or even to be in eastern w/o DST. Indiana should be on central. DST is a discussion for another thread probably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember those days whenever I drive by whatever CYO Field is called today. That game in that picture must have been an out of town school, or a non Cathedral game. That must be a CYO jamboree picture on second thought. I also played CYO ball my 8th grade year on that field. It was hard! I caught a pass for about a 3 yard gain that day.

I thought some of the landmarks in that picture looked familiar. And the distinctive top of the old Kokomo gas tower gives it away.
