I'm sure that the home games were always a 7:30 p.m. start ... unless national or regional tv was involved.

One of the most unusual start times I can remember was the Thanksgiving night (1973) game against Alabama ... a 5:45 p.m. start.

Originally, kickoff times were 8:00 pm. Later, not sure when, they moved kickoff up to 7:30 pm. There were very few day games.

Another thing about the old stadium configuration and the 8:00 pm kickoffs was the sweet smell of bourbon. I think bourbon was the drink of choice back then and people smuggled it in by the pints and fifths. When you entered the lower bowl, it was so strong and you couldn,t miis it.
