re: The biggest dent to the in game atmosphere is the growth of all day on campus tailgating

Depends on the game.

I rolled up to our spot around noon vs Grambling and a few others were in the process of getting it set up.

Arkansas will need to be a little earlier, and Auburn a little earlier than that if we have a 6pm or later kickoff.

Florida and A&M will be dependent upon how they season has gone and start times.
