Which do you find is more electric in Tiger Stadium, the 2:30 kickoff when Borne does the beginning of the fourth quarter speech or one where it starts at night? I've been to a few new opponent night games but never one like Alabama 2010.

If I'm going to the game, 7:00
If I'm at home, 2:30 so I can catch the primetime Sat night games after

Both unique and different. I actually really like it when its the start of the 4th quarter and the sun is setting and its a close game against a Bama or Florida.

How is this possibly even a legit question.

Night game in Tiger Stadium and it isn't even remotely close.

2:30 so he can read his it's almost night poem?

Night time. How is this a question?

2:30 for road games. I love road day games.

The 2012 Alabama atmosphere was more raucous and louder than the 2010 game, until the devastating final series. Night games are better in almsot every respect.

Still a night game, but we get home an hour earlier.

There's nothing in the world I'd rather be doing besides hanging out with my kids than spending a whole day of tailgating leading up to a night game in Tiger Stadium.

The later the better, more hours to tailgate, cooler weather in the stadium and rowdier fans.

where it starts at night


This should be the only answer in this thread.

We are LSU. We play at night. We are drunker and louder at night.

The Alabama game this year is proof of that. Crowd was unreal.

i love the 230 kickoffs. i don't start cooking (at the tailgate) til after the game. i put the primetime games on and enjoy the evening.

everyone saying 2:30 needs to rethink their opinions. This is ridiculous.

My favorite is the 6:00 ESPNU games. Gives you more time to party after but it's still at night.

I miss the old days when games started at 7:30.

The later the better. There is NOTHING like a big night game in Death Valley.
See:
1970 Ole Miss
1971 Notre Dame, Florida
1972 Auburn
1974 Colorado
1977 Florida
1979 USC (#1)
1982 Florida State
1983 Washington
1986 Texas A&M, Notre Dame
1988 Texas A&M, Auburn
1990 Texas A&M
1995 Auburn
1997 Florida
2000 Tennessee, Alabama, MSU
2001 Auburn, Arkansas
2003 Auburn
2005 Auburn, Florida
2007 Va.Tech, Auburn, Florida, Arkansas
2008 Alabama
2009 Florida
2012 Alabama (#2 right behind '79 USC)


There have been some great loud day games also:
1969 Auburn
1987 Ohio State
2003 Georgia, Arkansas
2010 Alabama
2011 Auburn, Florida, Arkansas
