June 2, 20223 yr I don't like the 9 am games. it hurts us by putting an onerous burden on our teams that no other conferences have to endure.
June 2, 20223 yr Author Yeah, no 9:00 AM games. I live in Eugene and I don't want to go to a 9:00 AM game. College kids won't be there either. The kids most likely to go to football games will have been drinking until 2-3 AM.
June 2, 20223 yr Let's see. The PAC-12 already has night games, sometimes as many as 4 on a Saturday night. Most fans attending the games (and some of us watching at home) don't like them--I hate them. I will watch Duck games that are on at night, but not any other games. The day before Thanksgiving at 5 pm? Uh, no. Believe it or not, a lot of people are still preparing for Thanksgiving the day before. The day before Labor Day? I might watch then, but I like to spend Labor Day weekend at home--not sure those going camping, to the beach, mountains, etc. are looking to watch a football game. While I would be fine with a 9 am game, since I live in Eugene and am an early bird, I certainly understand why it would not be a good time for most fans attending the game.
June 3, 20223 yr Anne I'm talking about the players who have to get up really early I believe around 3am to be prepared. That's 2 much off their normal schedules to promote excellence on the field, last year at tOSU was an outlier.
June 3, 20223 yr On a personal note, living GA as a duck fan, I hate the 7-8pm start times. It makes me a grumpy Gus the next few days after staying up past 2am to watch OBD.
