Brian Kelly appeared on The Paul Finebaum Show this week and was asked about the extreme heat conditions at Tiger Stadium during last Saturday's game against UCLA.

In his response, Kelly mentioned that the State of Arizona has legislation banning games played before 6 p.m. in September.

On Thursday, Kelly said that while he was too busy to campaign for a change at the State Capitol, he would fully support a similar ban in Louisiana, which AD Scott Woodward could lead.
quote:

"I certainly would," Kelly said." I only need to see that happen once. In a place like Tiger Stadium to have that kind of environment where it is just so difficult to sit and watch a game. It totally makes sense."

"Look, I get it. TV's involved, the conference is involved, and there are a lot of things that you have to consider. We don't have to deal with it again this year, but I would definitely throw my hat in the ring on supporting something like that."

Its the conferences fault that they have lost control on these kind of issues. They have squeezed every dollar that can from the networks and in turn the networks do with they want regarding gametimes, etc. They could have negotiated this sort of thing (including the amount and length of commercials) if they agreed to take less money, but they don't care about about the inconveniences to fans at the stadiums.

We don’t want the government to tell us what we can do, until we like it?

LSU Tiger Home Field advantage starts when the sun goes down. Tell the Networks to frig off unless it is a night time game!!

LSU being a state institution, it needs the backing to the state legislature so they have the authority of state law when negotiating games times with networks. Sure, LSU alone could say to networks that they will not schedule September day games but they would be in a significantly stronger negotiating position having the backing of the state legislature to force networks to avoid day games in Tiger Stadium in September. With that said, there should be a cavate in the legislation that allows for day games in September if the local weather forecast calls for high temps below 82 on game day the week before the game and both the school and network can schedule it on such short notice.
