ESPN - Alabana not happy with start times - too hawt
quote:
Alabama's administration isn't pleased that the Sept. 21 football game against Southern Mississippi will be played at 11 a.m. local time, when temperatures are routinely in excess of 90 degrees this time of year.
University President Stuart R. Bell and athletic director Greg Byrne issued a joint statement on the heels of last weekend's 3 p.m. kickoff against New Mexico State, when the heat index was upward of 105 degrees. Cooling stations were set up throughout Bryant-Denny Stadium, but in the second half many fans began clearing out, especially those in sections not shaded from the sun.
quote:
"We are disappointed that our game against Southern Miss has been selected as a daytime kickoff at home," the statement from Bell and Byrne read. "We realize we've played more non-conference day games at home in September than any other SEC team since 2014. There have been a number of conversations with our conference office, and they also recognize the challenges these kick times present for our student-athletes and fans."
quote:
Alabama has tried to entice students into staying longer by using a phone application that tracks location and rewards Tide Loyalty Points: 100 per game for attending a home football game and 250 per game for staying all four quarters. The points can be used toward priority access to student football tickets.

UPDATE:
Malzahn takes shots at Alabama early kick complaint
On Tuesday, 150 miles east of Tuscaloosa in Auburn, Gus Malzahn fired a shot across the bow of his program's cross-state rival.
quote:
"Our guys are excited to be back home for our second home game, playing a very solid Kent State team, 6 p.m. kick," the seventh-year head coach said, before digging in. "Personally, I wish it was at noon. We'd have more time to prepare for our next opponent."
quote:
Then he was asked whether that six-hour difference is worth the challenges that come with playing in the noon heat of late September. Malzahn simply smiled.
"That's a good question," he said.
And his answer is?
"My answer is I wish we were playing at noon."

It was an interesting quip from Malzahn about the rival Tide.
Well, it didn’t take long for someone to respond. Alabama columnist Cecil Hurt was a guest on the Paul Finebaum Show and had a message for Malzahn.
“For me, I think it’s a great idea. I think every Auburn game should start at noon. I think [Malzahn] does need an extra six hours of preparation,” Hurt said.

They should play at night. UA/USM ain't exactly a game of national interest. Put it on an SEC channel at night.

I recommend some billboards in Birmingham. That should get the message across.

I think in the era of Trump it's a must.
Billboards, tweets, whatever it takes. All out assault using whatever media it takes to get the message out.

Wait, so you guys are saying that if we feel like we are getting squeezed by the powers that be.......making it known and complaining about it is NOT the correct course of action?
Hmmmm, interesting. Good to know. Will keep in mind.

What time is LSU vs Northwestern State this weekend? Must be pretty early.

The Southern Miss game should be at night. Their win percentage against Bama is about the same as the two SEC Mississippi schools

All SEC schools make big bank off the money from TV contracts and games have to be played throughout the day, regardless of the schools....Your office is the one controlling it. WTF
PS - 4 of the 6 teams that have won an SEC Championship game play at 12EST/11CST that day...
