Drinking at 6am

I’ve heard it mentioned several times how some of our older alum said fuck season tickets when all the late starts and scheduling became the norm.
Does any body here think this could be an actual solution for getting more butts in seats? (I get the goal is national perception and exposure)
3 straight 10+ win seasons and I haven’t seen the annual times fluff piece on how off season ticket sales are booming. I feel like the opportunity to take over for sales exists here. I mean HH is already doing all of the branding and marketing.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. Of course it’s from doogman

CFB has an attendance problem pretty much everywhere. 9 AM games would make it worse though.

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.

it's a regurgitation of a Wilner thought piece that tries to figure out how to give the Pac12 better exposure. It essentially suggests that only a few games per year would fit into this window and, as such, I think we can all assume that means it would be games like Oregon State hosting some random cupcake or, at most, 2 shitty Pac12 teams that nobody would watch anyway.
That said, it fucking baffles me that guys like Wilner are trying to come up with these creative ways to give the Pac12 more exposure in ridiculous ways instead of just stating the obvious - fire Larry Scott and re-set that entire fucking Pac12 Networks shit show. That is the sole problem with the exposure issue. -
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.Gladstone said:I love the idea of 9am kickoffs.

Switch out beer/hotdogs for Bloody Marys/pancakes at the tailgates (hi @Swaye). Boom! Done! -

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! -
9am is way better than anything after 3pm.

Have kids and you’ll change your kind. You have to be out of the house for all their shit until after 4-5pm on Saturday.whatshouldicareabout said:9am is way better than anything after 3pm.
