Seems smart. Why make players and fans suffer in an inconsequential game in the heat?

Seems like a smart decision to me. I'd rather tailgate in the morning than at 1:00 when it's 100 degrees outside.

Just means I have to leave the house earlier. Looking forward to it. And yes, noon is much cooler than 3. I’ll take it

Might as well move it to 3 am if they want to dodge the heat.

They are already suffering by having to play in that stadium.

It’s been such a bad offseason I saw Arkansas in the thread title as I was skimming the page and got concerned it was going to be another former player tragedy.

The heat would be the least of anyone's concern if they were in little rock at 3am.
