Being in the Central time zone works better if you have business dealings with people on both the east and west coasts but the sun sets at 4:46 PM today. This time of year it gets dark way too early.

Negative

One of the few joys of growing up in a border city in Ga was being able to haul arse across the “Hooch” and continue the party for another hour.

Alabama and Indiana should flip in both CFP rankings and time zones.

Used to work with a girl who lived in Cedar bluff and would drive to Rome GA everyday and lose the hour driving to work and gain it back on the drive home

There are places in Alabama that operate on eastern time in spite of being technically on central time. I used to coach in one of those places, so our football games didn’t start until 8:00 pm. And being on the eastern edge of the state, we had some hauls at playoff time.

Some long nights back then.

I live in AL after being in GA most of my life but I've grown to really enjoy central time. Obviously this time of year when it gets dark before 5pm sucks arse, but everything else is pretty good.

-sporting events start earlier
-you can buy beer earlier

I can't think of any other things off the top of my head but those 2 are pretty massive

Per AI: Today, Wednesday, November 11, 2026, sunset at the extreme ends of the Central Time Zone occurs at 4:42 PM CST on the eastern edge in Alabama and 6:04 PM CST on the western edge in Texas. That creates a 1-hour and 22-minute clock difference between the two edges within the exact same time zone.

Interestingly enough...Indiana was originally in the Central Time Zone in 1918, but many counties shifted to Eastern in 1919 after the Standard Time Act was repealed. In 1949, the Indiana General Assembly outlawed Daylight Savings Time and they passed a law making Central Time the official time zone of Indiana in 1957, but that law was repealed in 1961. Indiana was split into Eastern and Central time zones in 1972. Indiana adopted Daylight Savings Time in 2006.

You really think an international border would stop Bama from emptying out Tider Stadium?

I think there are a few towns along the border with GA that don't observe DST. They keep the clock the same year round, and when it is standard time they operate on Eastern time zone, and when DST happens they operate on Central.

That seems to be more of a Louisiana thing . Louisiana’s Jerry Lee Lewis married his under aged first cousin.
