The countdown to kickoff at gousfbulls.com indicates the Elon game would start at 8:30 pm.  What gives with that? The bullspen.com countdown (probably more accurate) indicates a 7:00 kickoff.

Sorry, posted this and then I saw the other thread on the same topic.

Our "Countdown to kickoff" Methods and Process Team used a complex algorithm that was run on two front end processors then ultimately subjected to linear regression analysis and vector modeling on the back end before being input into the javascript countdown script you see on the board.

How USF did it, I don't know....but sounds like they put a lot less into it.  Typically, games have been at 7:00 p.m. as you know.

Yeah, I'm confused now with all that regression talk.  All I know is you guys got it right and my alma mater top research university is having issues.
