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

I'd be willing to bet LSU lost a lot of money in concession sales yesterday.

But if we want this to gain any traction we have to make it about player safety. Push the player safety narrative and maybe they will start to listen

That’s their problem though, this is our problem.

It’s all the same problem. LSU isn’t going to get special treatment over literally every other school in the south.

You know how LSU avoids the 11am start most of the time? That’s the preferential treatment. Live with the afternoon starts occasionally.

Would be a better idea to email him about the lack of cold water in certain sections of the stadium.

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


Weather is a factor when games are scheduled up north. They intentionally avoid night games late in the season where possible.

I’m not advocating that it should be done, but avoiding day games in August/Sept in the Deep South is not a crazy idea.

Yep, should have packed up the bags and headed to the Sun Belt when the getting was good.

bullshite takes like this is why shite never gets done. Defeated without firing a shot. Shameful and weak.

It is truly dangerous to attend a day game in TS in the early season. For that reason alone, we need designated night games. The powers that be can work out (well in advance) the freaking tv schedules. An AD with balls could address this.

Next year at this time the temperature could be 85 or lower. This is a stupid post.

This is a false narrative. There were 6 games (not including SEC+) televised on ABC/ESPN/SEC Network 6pm or later!

You are missing the point. LSU has NO control over what time the games are scheduled. They traded that away for millions of dollars in TV contracts.

The only thing Woodward can do is threaten to leave the SEC to get out of the TV contracts, leaving the program billions of dollars behind their competition.

Retard.

Why would you email Woodward about Miami's basketball team?

But there are things they can do…
1. Install fans hanging under the stadium. Air blowing down would help.
2. Misting stations throughout the stadium corridors.
3. Ice stations setup throughout the stadium.

Having these 3 things would help.

To be fair, they have sustained success ver the past 20 years even through roster changes. Pretty impressive.

Filled out the survey they sent and crushed the game start time. Doubt it gets read. They do the surveys looking for particular responses to back up their ideas.


This!

Also, LSU athletics and TAF admin and staff love day games. Why? They don't have to work late. These people could not be further removed from what the majority of the fans experience. And they don't care.

Brah. If China all of a sudden fell in love with SEC football and, for some reason, wanted us to play on the surface of Mercury, Sanky would make it happen before lunch time today.

Everyone has a breaking point….but you are correct on one thing. Sankey is to the SEC what Goodell is for the NFL. They put making $$$ over just about anything.

Ok, so ABC has a 230P timeslot with the tv deal they have...

Every school in the SEC is brutally hot in September. Who should occupy this timeslot then?
