Stanford football television schedule announced: Plenty of afternoon games for the Cardinal

Bring your sunblock and break out the Bloody Marys. There's some early wake-up calls coming this fall.

Stanford football announced the kickoff times for six games this season, including premier matchups against USC and UCLA.

Here are the dates, times and networks announced thus far:

August 30 vs UC Davis - 12:30 p.m. - Pac-12 Networks

September 6 vs USC - 12:30 p.m. - ABC

September 13 vs Army - 2:00 p.m. - Pac-12 Networks

October 4 at Notre Dame - 12:30 p.m. - NBC

October 10 (Friday) vs Washington State - 6 p.m. - ESPN

November 28 (Friday) at UCLA - 12:30 p.m. - ABC

The times and networks for Sept. 27 at Washington, Oct. 18 at Arizona State, Oct. 25 vs. Oregon State, Nov. 1 at Oregon, Nov. 15 vs. Utah and Nov. 22 at Cal have not been announced yet.

My initial impression of this schedule is that it freaking sucks. For both fans with season tickets and fans across the country.

Good thing Larry Scott is making millions of dollars every year so he can make a team with only six home games play a conference opponent at rush hour on a Friday and put two of those home games on a network that nobody can watch.

Keep gettin' dem checks, Larry.
