Never seen this anywhere other than this board. There is a 5 game limit tho.

I believe the number is 5 but no it's not a myth. Alabama/Auburn was on ESPN in 2014 because Alabama had already maxed out its CBS games for the season.

Hey 2:30 games, means no excuses to leave early!!!



Sure there is. It was too warm and I was feeling dehydrated or had heat exhaustion. Also need to beat the traffic before it gets too dark because my night vision is bad. Don't worry, we will find an excuse to bitch and moan.

The Iron Bowl ended up on ESPN a few years ago because CBS reached their limit on Alabama games. So it has come into play recently.

Assuming both are undefeated going into next weekend... How does the LSU/UGA matchup NOT make college gameday?!!

Early kickoffs are better for recovery physically. You heavy drinkers need to start at breakfast, baws.

Somebody once posted Win/Loss statistics based on day vs night games, and it was astounding! Numbers show, Tigers play much better at night.

How many times did LSU play Southeastern or ULM or Tulane at 2:30?

That stat will be skewed because the rent-a-wins are always at night.

Away games at 2:30 are perfect.

The reason the Tigers record is soooo much better at night is, TV has never been interested in broadcasting games vs. heavy under-dogs and rent-a win type programs....it's just that simple !

I love the 230 slot for away games. It sucks waiting around all day feeling anxious for the game to start when you don’t have tailgating to distract you. Seems like it takes forever lol

Saban said if you're a national power, you're going to play in the day...and he was right.

All Tiger home games should be played at night. The networks want us that bad? They should play by our rules.
how naive.

A universal truth is that the one with the money makes the rules.

The TV networks have the money.

You people’s obsession with kickoff times is fricking ridiculous.

I have no specific hate with 2:30pm personally, just the "high noon" sun that comes with that time of day.
