I remember when LSU played Appalachian State at 10am in Tiger Stadium one year. That shite was miserable. Saw so many students passing out from heat exhaustion.

They are on a broadcast network so that probably has something to do with it.

Game was originally scheduled for 4 pm. Moved to 10 am due to the hurricane on its way.

Tulane played USM in a bowl game at like 10 in the morning two seasons ago. It was January but I remember it still just felt whack

Its in Utah, its not like the fans need a full day to get drunk before the game. Guess it is because CBS has the game.

Saw so many students passing out because they woke up early after a night of drinking to drink more instead of eating breakfast and then sat in the hot sun suffering from heat exhaustion.

oh yeah, alcohol was more of a factor than the heat. but it was incredibly hot. IIRC there was a heat advisory and the PA kept telling people to drink water

Yeah, USC said they got up at 4am for the 9am kickoff.

Pregame warmups:



Get the players going, pregame meal, prep, etc.

But that was local.

Oregon had to go across the country to Ohio State this year for a 9am PT kickoff. Jet lag, biorhythms, etc.

Suits in NYC don't give a shite what Utah and Idaho want. You want to be on our network, you play when we fricking tell you to play. Night starts on TV are for Michigan, Notre Dame and Ohio State.

I love how when I see a post that’s either racist or bitching about TV networks I know it’s from you without even looking.
