Not sure it will help, but share your experience. The Athletics department needs to have testimonies and experiences to make the case to the SEC and other Partners to avoid these games in the future. I know money always wins, but in the case of safety, sometimes exceptions are made.

I stayed til the end, and only hit the shade with about 3:00 left in the game. It was only rivaled by Auburn about 10 years ago.

As long as we keep buying the tickets, it won’t make a difference.

There’s only so many TV time slots. This is a fruitless endeavor.

Agreed. And SEC and LSU both only care about those tv contracts.

Exactly. They want the money, they get the money. Nothing changes until people stop getting money.

I’ll let Woodward know to turn the sun down before the game next time.

Only because they sold out decades ago.

No they have no leverage anymore. They gave their rights to the SEC in return for a big slice of the pie.

Are they putting players and fans at risk and are you willing to let them do it? There is a simple solution to be had. Take it.

Was on the NorthEast section and me and my friend moved over to the student section for the second half. Much more managable in the shade

This has nothing to do with when the networks decide kickoff times.

Agreed, well before game time is announced. You can either go to the game & watch or leave early, watch at home or favorite sports restaurant/bar, or sell your tickets. As long as schools receive TV $$$, I doubt we’ll see much change…

The same AD that destroyed the basketball program and gave BK a 10 year deal? Yeah, he doesn’t give a shite!

As long as ESPN pays their billions it won't make a difference. TV dictates the schedule. You don't absolutely know months in advance it's going to be a miserable 100 degree day in late September. But they also put Florida's season opener at 3:30. And You do absolutely know it's going to be a miserable near 100 degree day in Florida in late August and they did that anyway. So I don't think they give a shite.

You're a fool. The same thing can be said for 2:30 games in College Station, Austin, Gainesville, Columbia, etc. NOT GOING TO CHANGE.
