One week after Alabama bitches about early start times LSU gets a non-conference game in Tiger Stadium scheduled the earliest one's ever been scheduled.



*2008 Appalachian State was originally scheduled for 4 pm.

*Edited to say NEVER because based on all data it hasn't happened

Yes it was. No moving air, no wind. It was so hot. It was like sitting in an oven for 3 hours.

Isn't this what Alabama was bitching about though?

I checked back to 1984 and LSU didn't have any non-conference games in Tiger Stadium at 11 am. I highly doubt there were any at 11 am before 1984.

The SEC is placating Alabama by boning LSU's biggest tradition.

I think we have a legit argument that this is a tradition, and the SEC has a history of catering to said traditions like Miss State's cowbells and Alabama paying players without repercussion.

It's def not a coincidence that this happened 1 week after they complained. This is from the LSU stats guy on twitter.

Dating to 1960,
@LSUfootball
hasn't had a non-conference game scheduled for a morning kickoff in Tiger Stadium (very possible it's never happened).

In 2008, #LSU-App. St. kickoff moved up from 4 p.m. to 10 a.m. the day before the game due to Hurricane Gustav.

I would expect this laying down and taking it from Alleva but not from Woodward.

I’m sure Woody is crafting his own letter to the SEC this week.

That 08 App state game was the hottest I’ve ever been at an outdoor event. Freaking roasted for the entirety of the game in the north end zone.

Wikipedia only went back to 1984 with the start times.

The second I saw the 11 am kickoff I thought about this never happening before.

Unless that letter is threatening to leave the SEC nothing will change.
