Going to really enjoy going to two Cal day games in a row the next two Saturdays. College Football is meant to be played in the early afternoon.

@jsnell ::: weeps from his second consecutive nooner :::

(We had to miss this past game, which was a blessed 3:30 kick. 😭)

@caseyliss Why do you hate it? Not enough tailgate time? Too hot? Afraid of the sunshine?
Show threadCasey LissOct 14, 2024

@jsnell I don't like noon games:

• No other games to watch during the tailgate
• Breakfast food is *amazing*, but doing it more than once a season is too much
• Especially later in the year, it's too goddamn cold during the tailgate, and then too goddamn hot in the game.

3:30 is *perfect* IMHO

@caseyliss @jsnell as a Central Time watcher of college football (God’s time according to a professor I had at Tennessee) I prefer evening kickoffs - I only live 3 miles from stadium and it is not hot (which it is in Stillwater OK thru October). I have been to all but 2 games at Oklahoma State since 1996 and before that went to every home game at Tennessee between 1984 and 95 - can be hot in Knoxville too.

@AllenFinchum @caseyliss when you live 3 miles away it's a lot easier to get home at 11:30 after a 7pm game

@jsnell @caseyliss true that - plus most of those games are 6pm Central Time - 7pm is an Eastern Time thing

@AllenFinchum @jsnell @caseyliss Waking up to this. (sorry about the delayed commentary.)

Since the Big 8/12 “welcomed” a handful of former PAC10/12 teams this season my team  has played twice at 9:30 CDT.

I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE those late games. I’m an old Gen X’er now and my night owl days are long behind me.

@DanMorgan @AllenFinchum @jsnell 9:30p is way too late to start a football game. Anything after about 730p is lunacy.

@DanMorgan @jsnell @caseyliss I understand - this Friday Oklahoma State plays at BYU - 915 Kickoff - I am not looking forward to it (of course that is 815 in Utah, but still…. - as an even more senior Baby Boomer this is just nuts.
