It literally does....that time slot is reserved for the best SEC game of the week (unless LSU and Bama are playing) and historically we have had great fan attendance and great atmospheres for 2:30 games in Tiger Stadium.....that one not so much.


11am =\= 2:30

2:30=\= 6 or 7pm

Either way that auburn atmosphere is going to be way better than the Arkansas kickoff at 11am. Regardless of this weekends outcome

Isn't the point of this board to complain about shite we don't like? Or praise stuff we do like? Seems like a great spot to do the former

Wait so I can't go to the game if I complain about an early start? When did this LSU policy start

Now here is a point we can truly debate.....recruiting, tailgating, attendance, etc are all ancillary to this in my mind.

FWIW I think you are right....LSU has finally dropped down to that level where the SEC and the networks are simply OK with putting us in that 11AM timeslot. To me that should be the concern rather that the fact that we can't tailgate because the game is at 11, we can't recruit because the game is at 11, etc.

I think the reason for this is because we let the in stadium atmosphere die for the night games even before they thought about putting us on at noon. So now the thought is if we aren't getting out of them at night what we got for every game up until about 4-5 year ago then why the hell not put them on at noon. Essentially, our atmosphere has devolved to the level of every other SEC team....Saturday Night in Death Valley is no longer special.

Unless Fred's is closing at 10 pm that Friday night, then it'll be quiet as a mouse.

If we beat Bama actual attendance will be better against Arkansas than it was for Auburn.

Wait you didn't get the memo from Uncle Joe? The new policy includes the following; 1. If you don't like the kickoff time you must stay home. 2. You can't be selfish about why you don't like a kickoff time, this isn't about you. 3. If you can't do 1 & 2 then you better keep it to yourself!

Atmosphere and attendance are not directly correlated. You can pack 150k in a stadium but if everyone is half awake it'll feel like a sun belt game

This is true....if LSU plays good football people will keep drinking and get loud.

If not...that whole place will be asleep.

However, those statements are true at any timeslot for LSU.

Bit of good news, 10 day forecast is calling for 40% morning thunderstorms. Maybe well get a nice 3 hour rain delay!

Absolutely not happy about this for my own selfish reason. Frick off, I don't care about what you think.

However, I will be there and will start earlier in the morning to compensate.

My beef is with the games chose for the night time slots. aTm and NMST???? and then who could want to miss the annual late season classic UT Mizzou dumpster bowl?!?!??!
