Jk... mostly. But, the fact remains that some of the power brokers in the SeC need their ADs to step-up and acknowledge the TV scheduling is killing game day fan interest and continues to place players in less than ideal game day conditions. Heat has an accumulative effect. Playing an SEC schedule is tough enough. Schit scheduling makes it tougher down the stretch and no one should be wondering where the mid-October offensive slump comes from.

I have no stats other than anecdotal evidence, but I imagine LSU has the most late summer/early fall night games, regardless of OOC opponent strength. So, kudos to your AD

Personally. I'm glad Bama's AD has acknowledged the base's concerns and relayed the issue. We have a schit OOC schedule this year all the way around, with the single 1/4 of a decent game being a neutral site venue. It is hard to put butts in seats at 100 degrees plus for a soft, creamy cupcake. Leads to lack of fan interest, students leaving early, and even the team is half involved.

I'm waiting for an the AD to flop it on the table and simply dictate when they prefer to play a game for once. It is coming.
