  How do you guys feel about these November 8:30 time slots? Seems you are getting most of them. I think it was 2018 or 2019 when we had to play Colorado last game of the year at 8:30 in 20 degree weather and then having to play Oregon for the CCG the following Friday. We had multiple injuries and illnesses after the game. It had a huge effect on the CCG. I froze that game and came down with a cold.
  
  It’s more like a punishment for players and fans after a great season. I could handle the Sept-Oct late night but Nov at night can be cold. What are your thoughts?

  Same with the 2018 Holy War (“A Rivalry for generations and a comeback for the ages!”) – cold, night game.
  
  Then the CCG against Washington the following Friday.

    That game sucked donkeyballs. I was in the premium loge and drank too much after the calf bounce pick 6

  Utah ISU outdrew BYU – scumdevils.. different timeslots but Utah is somehow still getting eyeballs. That bodes well (we’re not getting Deion eyeballs though)

  Yeah I hate it. I’m on the east coast so it’s been rough staying up way late for those games. The only way I’m staying up this Saturday is if byu actually has a chance to make it to the big 12 championship, otherwise it’s not worth it

    9-2. C’mon, Lasso…your boys have earned a few late-night sacrifices.

    Wow Lasso I thought 8:30 was late your at 10:30 start. It will be around 28 at kickoff. You’ll be happy to not be at the game.

  I love the BYU late night games. Took some getting used to, but we play much better at night than early. As long as it’s dry I can handle the cold. It’ll be mud 30s so as long as no wind, I can handle it.
  
  Growing up going to zoob games in the 80s, all the games started at 1:30 or Noon. Those early season games could be hot. But it seemed right at the time. Now tv dictates. As long as I can see my team I am fine with it.

  I’m not a fan of the late games. 8:30 start, walking back to the tailgate, traffic etc, we get home at like 1:30am. Then I’m wired and can’t go to sleep until 3 or 4. Plus it’s hell for my 12 year old. Either he’s up with us until 2am or we have to leave him home, either alone or a sitter that won’t stay that late.
