I’m not sure when BDS got lights.
I'm pretty sure the 1991 UGA game was the first night game in BDS in many, many years. But it had lights for years prior to that. Some afternoon kicks went into the night in the 80's.
When I was in school at Bama in the early 90's, night games at home were pretty rare. 91 and 94 UGA and the 95 Tennessee games are really the only ones I can think of off hand. PPV games kicked off around 3 or 4 from what I remember.
Right after I left though, there were a string of Iron Bowls played at night, and a couple of LSU games.

So it’s legit to complain about something as little as playing time, but trying to get a balanced SEC schedule is whining

One coach has been calling for a 9 game SEC schedule and a P5 only OOC schedule for years.
Wanna guess who it is?

Saban has advocated for more SEC games and p5 games which I commend him for
However, he didn’t need to follow up that press conf with a lie. He isn’t scheduling cupcakes because he can’t find anyone else to play. He is scheduling cupcakes because that’s the best path for a title as the rules currently dictate. I don’t blame him either, just don’t lie
This 11am shite is pure whining. Is what it is

No, insisting on one specific solution to that and then claiming the league office is out to get your school after that one specific solution is turned down is whining.

I mean, I don't really care what it is called. We want some night games and we're gonna try and get them, and the only way to do that is to bring it up.
If they say no they say no. It's absolutely fine with me for us to ask for it. If we get told no and continue to stomp our feet and act like spoiled children then I'll no longer be on board.

It is, and if the roles were reversed LSU fans would have been whining about it long before Alabama started.

I'ld like to know why UGA doesn't have more night games.
Posted on 9/11/19 at 12:30 pm to BrerTiger
When your schedule sucks (like Alabama's does) then you can't expect any better. Also, that boo hoo story of not getting anyone to play them is crap.

The continuation of this brain dead and absolutely picked to the bone argument is staggering

It's not just about 11am games. It's the early afternoon in September along with the 11am games that they're complaining about.
And of course LSU fans don't want us to pick up some night games early in the season. It may cost them one or two.

Another post about this?

All I know is when the SEC starts moving LSU games to daytime to accommodate Bama just like they moved the LSU Auburn game to accommodate Auburn, it might be time to bolt to the Big 12. LSU makes the playoffs every year in the Big 12.

Actually I agree with the gumps here. Football is a winter sport, playing football in 100 degree heat can be dangerous to the players, they should make these night games until fall kicks in.

It's not fair to change the current structure that absolutely goes out of it's way to accommodate LSU.
Helluva argument, especially from the "SCHEDULES PAWL" crowd

As is, the SEC is accommodating you cajun bastards. You would be squealing if you had to give up a night game against NW State. It isn't about scheduling harder teams. It is about one school getting all of its shite games at night while the rest of the conference is begging for the scraps

Yeah. How dare they ask LSU to do what every other team in the conference has to do?
The fricking NERVE!
