Its supposed to be sunny and a high of 90 in Auburn on gameday. I understand TV controls the time but damn why not take sweltering heat into consideration for these times? They change times around for games all the time so it can be done. That has to be so miserable for the players on the field.

Damn, I thought it would be a lot hotter than that. Welp, no excuses now.

I agree. But CBS doesn’t.

The low is also 70.

It’ll be fine football weather.

Because the players aren't bleeding pussies like you.

The bigger question is what time will it end?

2:30 CBS start.

60 minutes of football.
30 minute half time.
120 or 150 minutes of commercials minimum?

Do you guys realize long before TV and CBS afternoon games were the norm even in the south with the exception of a handful of schools like LSU

Hey I think the 2:30 kick works great to LSU advantage. It would be a massacre if night game

No I didn't realize that. I thought a lot of the southern teams played at night to avoid the heat.

yeah, that’s what we need. Let someone pussify football even more, make them play in indoor climate controlled stadiums

I swear no other fan base in the south or the west complains about day games like LSU fans. Y’all know the players do not care as much as you believe they do about day games right? Especially on the road. Why the hell are you mad that we get Auburn during the day? They’re tougher at night just like us..
