re: Why start the Sugar Bowl so late?

An 8pm start time in New Orleans is perfect for visiting fans. Quit crying.
Except Bowl Games are more about ratings and fans watching on TV than they are about the crowd at the game. That's true for all sports.
Are you saying a 7 p.m. start time in New Orleans would somehow make the visiting fan experience horrible? Does an hour really matter for fans at the game? Heck I think it'd be better, more time after the game for fans to get hammered, lol.

Bowls are meaningless now anyway

I'll never understand why the Rose Bowl dictates so much. They held up the process of getting the BCS and now they frick up the dates of the semi finals. To be fair, the Sugar did as well.
The hard on that ESPN has for it is really weird and overdone.
I completely agree, they control too much. The reality is ESPN has the leverage over the Rose Bowl.
Just ask the Rose Bowl to move up from 5 p.m. to 4 p.m. That's really not asking a lot.
Honestly at this point I'd love to see them kicked out of the NY6. Replace them with the Holiday Bowl. The Rose Bowl would last for awhile but over time it would start to wither and die. At the end of the day though the Rose Bowl needs the NY6 and ESPN far more than the NY6 and ESPN needs them. The Rose Bowl needs to be reminded of that.

They expect the Sugar Bowl fans to party it up in the Quarter til the wee hours of the morning anyways, so why not start late.

There's this little thing called the Tournament of Roses parade that also dictates the start time of the Rose Bowl. You can't simply move the game up without impacting it.
More people probably watch the Rose Parade than they do Bowl Games. It was broadcast on NBC, ABC, and Hallmark today. That's Macy's Thanksgiving Parade level coverage.

The rose bowl carries the big dick and it swings it. Sucks for the sugar bowl but it is what it is

Atta boy, Boomer. Make the free market work as it should.
E- fwiw, PAC12 and B1G schools still take the Rose Bowl seriously. UGA couldn't give less of a shite about playing Baylor.
