I'm doing a brisket and Boston butt tomorrow. I always apply the rub the night before but I don't feel like it tonight for various reasons. Will there be a noticeable difference in flavor or texture if I just season these things tomorrow morning before I put them on the smoker? There are a million BBQ myths, so please explain why if you think I'm making a big mistake.

You are making a big mistake. Because I said so.

Go to bed. Get up, season and start cooking. I'd brine the pork tonight and if you have time to read this you have time to brine.

It takes like 5-10 minutes max to apply a rub. I'd do it tonight. I mean if you're still awake just go ahead and do it. Gives it time to sit and let the meat absorb some of it. I've never done a brisket but on a butt I've read somewhere that the salt in the rub will help by sitting overnight.

Unless your rub has salt in it, it wouldn't make a difference. Salt is really the only thing that penetrates into the meat. I always dry brine the night before and apply the rub before I put it on.

Trimmed brisket?

How long do you cook it? Using what wood? Temp?

What is your rub made with?
