Poll: What time of day do you like our games being scheduled?

[jangalang]

Without considering your hatred for certain stations *ahem CBS*, what time of day do you like our games to be scheduled for? Personally, since I don't have the means to make it up to T-Town, I prefer the early 12:30 eastern games so that I can go on with my life after 4 pm. When we have night games, it's very difficult for me to get anything accomplished that entire Saturday, which makes my weekend seem like just a Sunday. Or maybe I'm just weird, I dunno.

Road game: 11:30 (central) because I think it's to our benefit.

Home games 2:30 or later. Don't particlarly like the 8pm ESPN slot, though.

I hope we are never on CBS again!

It depends on where we are in the season. During the warmer part of the season, I like those early evening games starting somewhere between 5 and 7 CT. During the colder part of the season, I prefer a 2:30 CT start time.

Edit: As you might guess, I attend the games.

Im a night game person. I just love the excitement that goes with it....RTR

I have to vote for the early game, given my current location. That being said, I've done what it took (including staying up over 24 hours) to watch/listen to every game thus far this season.

I like the excitement and build-up of the night games in most cases, especially the big games. For the cupcake games, I prefer an early start that let's me watch other big games later. For the road games I attend (usually Arkansas, Ole Miss, or Miss State), I'll take an earlier start that lets us get a jump on the long drive back.

For purely selfish reasons I prefer night games. I go watch my daughter's rowing competitions on most Saturdays ( Oct and Nov).

 

[BamaBoy3684]

Depends on several things.

If I am not going to the game, then I prefer at night.

If I am going and returning same day, as I usually do, then afternoon.

If I am going and staying in T-town, then night game.

I NEVER prefer a morning game. NEVER!

 

[rtr1973]

There's no single answer.

From August til mid-October (when the weather is hot) - night games.

After mid-October (when the weather is cool) - afternoon games.

Morning games are OK when on the road, but not at home.

Night games. There just seems to be more excitement with them.

 

[BamaPride1979]

Well it seems to me that Bama plays better at night. plus an all day tailgate before the game is fun ROLL TIDE ROLL:biggrin:

 

[saraelizabethua]

Well as a member of MDB, I'd say I prefer night games since the sun isn't beating down on us all day and the schedule is a little less rushed. Saturday we had a relatively short lunch break to get our uniforms and meet at the quad (about 2 hours not including travel time from rehearsal to wherever and then to the quad). Its always nice to have time to rest for a while and then walk the quad. Plus, sun + thick uniforms = not that fun.

Ditto. But an 8:00 PM start is just too late. 6:00 - 7:00 is about perfect.

The early (11:30 Central) slot is horrible -- screws up a perfectly good golf game!

 

[chris]

i love me some nightime Bama football!

 

[Dallas4Bama]

I enjoy a late game because it gives me a chance to take in the gameday experience when I'm there. There's nothing like a day of walking around campus, visiting the Bryant Museum and just enjoying the days activities. I also enjoy watching the game under the lights, everything just seems to be more crisp and vivid.

 

[Vinny]

I hate the 3 30 CBS games, but do like they are over at 7 ish. I like espn games, but they are over too late. Now that we have the Gameplan, I do enjoy the 12 30 games on Raycom.

 

[hamil022]

Not at night in Baton Rouge.

 

[RTR13]

always love those late games on ESPN.

Lincoln Financial games (early game) ... not enough time to tailgate and get a good eat.

mid-day games just don't have a GAMEDAY atmosphere, in my opinion.
