I start to watch, then fall asleep.
Not me, I usually have something riding on the game so..No sleepy for me till I know if I need to sell my car or not to avoid broken kneecaps...

Also, what would a gameday tailgating experience be like for a 9am kick?

This is WORSE than the RRS not being played at night, and that's saying a lot.

I'm not sure they need to go this far. But I've said in the past that it's entirely stupid to have fing 10-11pm ET kickoff times; no one on the east coast watches their games. If they would do more noon and 3:30 games it would be 6:30ET and 3:30ET for the east coast. Perfectly acceptable kickoff times for everyone. 6:30 games would give them an advantage because all the 3:30ET games would be ending and all the 8pm primetime games would not start. So they'd have like 1.5 hours of football where they're the only games on.

11 PM ET time sure as hell is a lot better for exposure for the conference. Other conference fans are either attending their game or watching it on tv. I mean which conference fan is going to actually watch a noon eastern time game with Colorado vs Oregon State. Well Scott is a complete moron so he might put UW-Oregon as the early AM game.

12:30 Kick Off. The Best Solution.

UW has 4 Home Games in Prime NW weather between Aug 31 and Sept 28.

I, as a season ticket holder, want to get to the game at 9am, drink/eat/socialize for 3 hours before heading into the game which starts at 12:30. Do you hear me Larry?

Now Larry, you make the start time 3:00pm.
Most of us are still ok with this decision.
Out by 7:00, home by 8:00pm.

I have NO IDEA why Larry Scott thinks it is a good idea to wait 6 days before kickoff that the next kickoff will be at 7:30pm or 8:00pm. You know what Larry, we hate this.

As a kid, every Husky Pac8 game was at 12:30.

There's no way that's true. People are asleep, and games are ending 2am. Bad game are bad games no matter when they're on, but it's the good games that people aren't watching because they're on so late.

The Dallas Police Department doesn't have enough cops to handle such! Some would question their ability to even handle the crazies the night before the game! But, I do hear tell that the newer generation is more civilized.

Seriously, y'all should listen to the PAC-12 commissioner. He has worked wonders so far …

It's socially acceptable to be drinking at 2AM or 2PM, so split the difference with 5:00.
Well i mean we have Mardi Gras out here, so I’m not to concerned over what is socially acceptable. Mire so concerned about waking up in time for the game much less the drinking part.

I used to work parking at Michigan State football games. We would get to our lots at 6am. There was always a few people already setup and smokers going for a 4pm game.

The solution then is to not pass out the night before and just keep drinking. If being a drunk was easy, everyone could do it. :suds: Actually, my old ass has probably been up for a couple of hours before dawn and four or five beers will put me back down.

I tried that method in high school. Was hung over as shit for the SATs so I stayed up all night drinking and had a beer in the car on my to the ACTs.

Those must also be the couple of people who decide to go to the games.

Well I mean, we haven’t resorted to free tickets for buying a Coke, so we have that going for us.

Pssh, we would never resort that low. You had to buy TWO cokes.

Also, that was 2014. When people trash Harbaugh for only winning 10 games 3 times. That was the year before he got here. Two tickets for two fucking cokes.

Seriously, how many bad decisions does this guy need to make before the PAC gives him the boot?
