Day games should be illegal in September.
LSU played its 1st Night football game on 3 October 1931. I think UGA had there 1st in the 1940's and Florida in Gainesville around 1950.
Also realize 10 game schedules and seasons back then started 2nd week in September usually around 14 September.
There is a reason LSU put lights up for Night football before anyone else did, and yesterdays game is a reason. I sit SW endzone and fortunately by later 2nd Quarter sun got far enough West to not impact me, but the crowd on the east side started emptying before the end of the 1st QTR. 91-92 degrees with humidity around 55-69% put Heat index at 100 and felt like 120 down in the lower bowl.
Average temp in Baton Rouge for start of fall is about 86 so we are way above normal.

As soon as I knew it was an afternoon game I knew I wasn't going to it. Not for UCLA.

Tiger Stadium at night for an important game is an entirely different atmosphere than those damn day games.
Sure hope it is at night when Ole Miss comes to town on 10/12.
Also, the game should revert to Halloween time in October. That would make it perfect.

It was 94 degrees and the humidity was 1000%. Medical teams were busy today the least. And not all of it was from too much alcohol.

If they would drink water instead of cheap whiskey and hooker piss, then they might be able to stay outside in the middle of September.

I don't think that will happen again, with the new 16 team league and the fact that it looks like LSU will keep both Ole Miss and Alabama, those 2 games will not be played back to back as LSU has for pretty much the last 25 years when the 12 games started, at leas periodically in 2002 and 2003, then back to 11 in 2004 and 2005 before permanently in 2006, had the bye week after 8 games and the week before Bama.

That all sounds nice behind a key board. But Oxford is about 5 hours North of Baton Rouge and thus likely to get cooler fronts in September that don't reach Baton Rouge till 1 October/early October.

No that is not what I said, but it is cooler in Oxford in September than in Baton Rouge. The 4 schools that have the hottest average temps in September in the SEC are going to be LSU, Florida, Texas A&M and Texas.

So there is about a 6 degree average temperature differential between Baton Rouge and Oxford in September. So we are talking about the mean, so lets say it is 88 in Oxford, which is warm but playable u are talking 94 in Baton Rouge.
It was 92 last Saturday with 55-60% Humidity with heat Index above 100.
We have schools in the league now way North of Baton Rouge, Gainesville, College Station and now Austin.
Norman, Columbia, Lexington, Nashville, Fayetteville, and Knoxville are far enough North to schedule some quality games for the 2:30 to 6 PM window, the schools in the middle Oxford, Tuscaloosa, Starkville, Athens, Auburn, and Columbia could get some 2:30 games as u move towards end of September.
I mean just go look at the average temps for all now 16 SEC Cities and look at it based on the objective weather data.

Still enough people in the stands to pack Ole Miss's high school stadium.
Posted on 9/27/24 at 2:12 pm to Landmass
We could blowup half our stadium and still have more fans that your junior high stadium can hold.

Start this same thread when Ole Piss comes to town on a Saturday night. We still have a bad taste in our mouth after giving you the game last year. We are waiting for this game.

That would still pack Vaught Highschoolway stadium

Use some critical thinking you take 6 degrees higher, and 85 degree in Oxford is 91 in Baton Rouge and you factor in the humidity differential, with said with high humidity, you have a Heat Index of 102-105 which was the case last week. You start a game with that many people jammed in the stadiums and the temps on the field in the lower bowl are 120 degrees.
So yes the 6 degrees with the variation in Humidity in September in Baton Rouge vs. Oxford does make a difference.
What is it with some of u Ole Miss guys and LSU that everything has to turn into this level of nonsense.

You know what…..you’re right. My bad.
LSU fans are the ONLY people who have ever had to deal with heat before.
We’ve had to deal with those situations as well. Stop pretending like it’s unique to you. We would ALWAYS get those early hot as frick games at the beginning of the year as well. I had to get treated for heat exhaustion back when I worked for the athletic department when he had that stupid as shite black rubber field. The difference between locations is not nearly as big as you’re making it out to be.

The real question is why did LSU choose this game to finally wear a dark uniform?
Posted on 9/27/24 at 3:40 pm to pankReb
I’m starting a list of the things that put ONLY LSU and its fans, at a disadvantage during a game.
Feel free to add to it…
1. Refs
2. Hot weather
