    My problem is an 8 year old and a 7 year old who just have to play soccer on football Saturdays.

    Tell them sometimes you do things for yourself to become a better person and it shouldn't matter if you're there or not.
    I promised them we're going to a game this year. Their season doesn't start until the second week for the Huskies, so we're definitely going to Eastern. Cal is a 12:00 Shanghai time game, so I'll probably be at that. My dad is a huge USC homer, so we go every time they're in town, and we've already planned to fly him in, so that's a go. I'm sure both Oregon and Utah are going to kickoff sometime between the beginning of Saturday Night Live and last call at the bar, so I should be able to make those as well (I'm the rare fan who LOVES the late kickoffs, as it all but guarantees that I can go).

    So I'll be at a few games. I thought about season tickets for the first time this year, but there's always just too much uncertainty with my schedule to do it. And who wants to pay full price for bullshit non-con anyway?
    Not so sure about Oregon being a late game. It’s homecoming, so it’s ripe for a prime 1pm on Fox.
    From my understanding, for homecoming UW gets to kickoff whenever they want. Last few years have been 12:30 (UCLA, Colorado)

    This 6-day window bullshit needs to stop. Larry gave way too much power away to the networks. Is it a football game or a TV show? I went to the 8pm Arizona game on Halloween a few years ago and it was the smallest crowd I’ve ever seen at Husky Stadium. Had to be only half full, if that.

    I’d definitely buy season tickets if I lived in Seattle and the late start times wouldn’t be as much of a bother. Trying to make plans to fly up can be a pain when you don’t have a gametime. (Yeah I know, #FirstWorldProblems)

    So yeah, it’s all Larry’s fault.

    It’s this way with ALL networks. ESPN and ABC and all of these agreements are about the cash grab from TV money.

    I agree #firelarryscott but big business is really to blame. Well, that and Larry Scott sucks ballz so EVERY conference out there with a marque matchup will have it scheduled during the early and late games so pac-12 top games will be prime matchups typically.

    So yes, full circle, #firelarryscott.

    I know of 6 people who didn't renew. Reasons provided were start times, and unable to get a beer/drink.

    Code for: Can’t afford it.

    Once again this is not a Larry Scott problem. Everyone with a brain knows he is worthless. It's a problem with the Executive committee of the Pac 12 which recommends his continued employment to the rest of the Presidents. The Presidents of Oregon State, UCLA and Arizona State is where the blame lies. People need to start looking at these things as top down issues.

    It's flat out embarrassing.
