That is good.
1. IF we are so fortunate as to be able to be in FCS playoffs, this change gives us at least 1 more hour to get ready, whether the potential playoff game is at home or away.
2. Since Thanksgiving is the following Thursday, maybe the earlier kickoff might convince a few students to stay around and attend at least part of the game as fans and supporters, instead of leaving earlier than they otherwise would for Thanksgiving travel.
3. If we are not so fortunate as to be able to be in FCS playoffs, then we fans may want to get the game and season over with sooner, and move on to other things, including Thanksgiving, basketball, etc.
4. The change in kickoff may help the many Furman fans who will be attending both football and the Charleston basketball games.
5. More time to celebrate whatever it is that we have to celebrate, whether that be a SoCon championship, just a win over Wofford, and/or just families of players wanting to be together following the Senior Day game.
All positive. Tailgating can continue post-game.
Go Furman!
