1. You have a perfect 3-4 hours of tailgating, not 7-8 hours all day and then you are tired as shite by game time but also not too little as is for an 11am game.

2. It is dark by the 4th quarter so you get the “night game” when it matters most, plus the sun is behind the west stadium bleachers by halftime. Sun sets at 5pm on Nov. 7th. With how freaking long ABC games take, the entire 4th quarter is playing in darkness.

3. Weather is usually mild this time of year anyways.

4. The crowd is way more rowdy, in my opinion, at this time. By 6pm-7pm, people are drunk and tired and frankly are more worried about trying to make it home before 10pm.

I remember playing Bama in 2010. It was a 2:30pm game. Unreal weather, sun set behind the stadium and the cool air felt incredible. It went from sunny, to dusk, to night, all in one game. Got the dub and was home by 7pm to relax.

I will be downvoted but I am right about this.

if we could get one lightning strike around 2:30 the entire second half would be in the dark

I really don't mind 2;30 games in November the biggest problem is how shaded the field looks on tv...maybe it will be overcast

Man, you must get to campus late then if you're only getting 3 or 4 hours of tailgating.

The crossing route TD to Randle is burned into my brain. He threw that ball so hard. Crowd lost it.

Hey bastard, put the OP on the list.

If it were up to him we would play all games at noon wearing purple shirts with purple britches.

Dude, like 90% of our night games, people are toast by the 3rd quarter. They’ve been awake and drinking for 12 hours at that point. People can’t be engaged for that long.

I guess. I leave Nola by 8:30/9 and am at the tailgate by 10:30. Same with people coming from Laffy I’m sure.
