    I love the idea of 9am kickoffs.

    The older crowd that stopped attending games because they don’t want to get home at 1am? They’d be back. The bandwagon ‘football-is-a-social-event’ younger crowd that wants to be elsewhere Saturday night? They’d attend in much greater numbers. Hardcore fans? Home by early afternoon and can watch the all of the other CFB games the rest of the day. Casual fans? Can still have most of their Saturday to do dumb non CFB things.

    I’m not a morning person, but support this as well in lieu of the traditional 12:30pm kickoff. The biggest benefit in my mind is knowing consistently every week when the damn game is so you can plan your weekend.

    Switch out beer/hotdogs for Bloody Marys/pancakes at the tailgates (hi @Swaye). Boom! Done!
    I like the way you think girl.

    edit: I am of course down with pancakes, and all that implies, but I am warming to this idea of early kick offs and the thought of breakfast sausages, egg sandwiches and Mimosas!

    Showing your age here Gladdy. Hardcore disagree that the younger crowd would like this.

    The Dawg Pack would be 80% empty for a 9am kickoff. Students, especially those who only go to games for the social aspect, aren’t going to wake their asses up that early on a Saturday. Same goes for most early 20s fans.
    True, but we’re in a damned if we do, damned if we don’t situation. Late kick offs the Dawg Pack LEAVES! early (prompting the game day marketing team to have 3rd quarter giveaways like Dick’s burgers in a desperate attempt to try to bribe the students to stay).

    Which returns us to @Meek’s earlier point about how our conference should’ve shit canned Champagne Larry a long time ago and gotten a better TV deal.

    Believe you me, I sure as shit didn’t want to get up that early in my twenties. I don’t know what the sweet spot for kickoff times either to keep all segments of the fan base happy, but keeping things as they are isn’t a solution.
