We get the late game again

[jef0071]

Pretty much guarantees that we won't see a single snap of this game. Not happy.

i have to work on new years eve (as do quite a few people), i'm glad that we play late, i should be home to watch it from the beginning...RTR!!!

I'm surprised they didn't do a 1-2 start for the first game and then a 5-6 start time since it's New Years. Game over by 9-10 so people can still attend celebrations.

Don't matter what time it is, if Bama wins there will be people celebrating.

What moron or morons decided that scheduling these games on New Years Eve was a good idea?

Thank the Rose Bowl, Pac 12/Big Ten, and the CFP. The Rose Bowl/Big Ten/Pac 12 refused to move its game from its traditional slot at 3 EST on New Year's Day. Since it was not in the semi-final rotation this year, they had to move the semis to New Years Eve in order to accommodate the Rose Bowl/Big Ten/Pac 12. Once again, they hold up the rest of the college football world for their "tradition."

I haven't rang in the New Year in about ten years. Hard for me to stay up for a game that goes past 11 pm.

I guess this New Year's Eve I'll have to opt for mixed drinks: Geritol and Red Bull.

8PM (I'm guessing that time is EST?) - So 7 CST (My time anyway)

Might want to update this to 7 EST. I just got an email from stubhub saying that the game time had changed to 7.

PrimeTime baby! Get a W and go out and celebrate new year's. Kind of liking it.

 

[Crimson Speed]

It's only the end of the year. It's not like it's Christmas Eve or something like that where people go to Mass, caroling, etc..... I never understood the Happy New year celebration myself. RTR!

I'm with you on this. No big deal for me. I just want to watch the game.

It is great when you are young there is a young hottie to kiss at midnight. when you are 40 and single, New Years is a waste of time.

Seriously? Actually, that's better for me, if so. I think it's a bad idea to have it on New Year's Eve. I can't watch a Bama game with a bunch of people unless they are all Bama fans focused on the game. That wouldn't be the case down here at the party we usually go to. Stayin' home, watchin' the game!

 

[Jessica4Bama]

I'm pretty sure the game is still at 8/7 central. That's what ESPN is showing at the moment.

 

[BradtheImpaler]

Works for me! Our kids are young..so we never go out on NYE. I will love watching the Bama game with my husband and kids. A great way to bring in the new year.

Same here.

That's what I'm seeing, too. 8/7. Ultimately, I'm home and glued to the tv!

Yeah a mixed drink for me is a glass of water and a shot of Propel Berry flavor..

 

[Alasippi]

This surprises me. I thought Clemson and Okie would get the prime time draw.

 

[JQBama42]

I'm trying to find a team seating chart for the game and not having any luck. I sat on the Bama side in the Wisconsin game and want to make sure I'm on the right side for this game and not in a sea of green. Any information to help would be much appreciated. Roll Tide!

We will be watching from our home also. Good food, then a chilled glass of wine is kind of nice about then...
Unfortunately for our neighbors I have two large farm bells I will ring when we win, then again at Midnight.
(I do ring in the New Year)

 

[crimsonaudio]

Love it - all I care about is watching the game, not going out on amateur night.

The same one/ones that ALSO scheduled 7 of the next 10 playoffs on 12/31.
