11am games suck. Less tailgating time.

Massively weak. Now we can have a half full stadium for at least the first quarter as people filter in.
11am starts shouldn't exist at all.
if they start to win it wont matter what time they play!!
College football was meant to be played on Saturday afternoons.
I know I'm probably wrong about this, but I swear I heard that the B1G was trying to get rid of 11am starts and change the early games to noon. Does anybody else remember this?

wait!what? said:Ok, some of you guys retell stories of games in 1972 so help me out with this. I went to my first badger game back in 1980 and I recall the game start times were similar to 11:00. Wasn't this the same all over BT land?
It kills your "walk up " sales; especially from out of the metro area. Say you're Joe Blow from from Northern Minnesota. You've never seen TCF stadium and you've got 4 free tickets from a friend, or you just want to catch the game figuring to scalp some tickets or buy them at the gate. You're bringing the wife and two young kids. Rise and shine at 6:00 am?? Ain't going to happen. We drive
down from . ( about 2-1/2) We leave about 7:00 am. I guess the upside would be concessions as people would be buying lunch. The kick in the lowers??, the students. God doesn't turn the air on for the U students after a Friday night till 12:00 on Saturday. They'll chose sleeping in after a hangover over a non-conf game against a nobody. Total bummer at a 11:00 start.
