That's what late afternoons are for - catching up on the previous night's sleep.
I don't nap well. Sorry to bore you-I'll try better next time.

I know that most of you want this to be a bright, sunny afternoon.
I don't care. I'd rather have a full blizzard.
Isn't 70 and sunny exactly what USC would want? To win we will need a game with a low score, and probably lots of turnovers. Snow would help.
We've beaten USC a grand total of one time. It was in the snow at Memorial Stadium.
Can you imagine a more iconic Minnesota victory than a September snow win against USC?
How do you figure? There are 24 hours in a day, regardless. That's the crux of my utter boredom with the topic - nothing changes due to the kickoff time, other than one's ability to tailgate at noon instead of 9 am. Big deal. If you have to get up early, so what? That's what late afternoons are for - catching up on the previous night's sleep.
Not so fast my friend. There is a big difference for 2:30 games and night games...You get 6 hours of tailgating instead of 4. Now maybe that's a bore to you or not a big deal. But it matters to some. Getting up early doesn't have to play any part in it.
You're right in that it is both a bore and not a big deal to me. And I was aware of the difference in tailgate lot opening times between day and night games (just waiting for someone to call me out on it - not surprised that it was you). But that still doesn't explain away the big hard-on for 2:30 vs. 11.
You're not as smart as I thought.

I've been following sports for almost 30 years. I've been a fan of a lot of different teams at all levels of competition. This board is the only, and I mean the only place where I've ever seen anyone actually care about what time the games start. Not only care about it, but discuss it, dissect it, and lobby for certain time preferences over others.
I guess the point is, what the hell is the difference? The games are scheduled when they are scheduled. Show up, don't show up, but who cares? Does anyone truly think 11 vs. 2:30 vs. 7 vs. whenever makes that big of a difference? USC/Ohio St./Florida/Texas/etc. didn't get good because they were scheduled in the "prime" TV slots. They got scheduled in the prime TV slots because they were good.
OK, let's use simple words.
Wow, holy wet blanket.....is this your wife?

Ha! A Vadger fan talking down to someone. That's rich.
And yet the rest of his post was well argued. Look, its fine you don't care what time the game is. But don't start digging in your heels and pretending like your outlook is the only correct one. Its all a personal preference. Sadly, I know you get this...I just think that you're really enjoying being the contrarian of this thread.
You and I both know its more then just this thread....
Let mister high and mighty be....its hard being right all the time.
No. That could potentially be the most epic game of all time.
Hear that Mother Nature? 6 inches of snow the night before USC with unseasonable 35 degree temps. The USC boys wouldn't even want to get off the bus let alone play.
