How many of Georgia's night games were against Alabama?

ETA: 3 of Georgia's 4 night games since 2024 were against Alabama.

No one wants to play a day game in Baton Rouge in September...

And national fan interest dictates who ABC/ESPN puts in primetime...

The Big Ten plays is marquee matchups during the day...is nighttime overrated?

IF LSU is winning, the networks are going to ask that LSU home games be at night. If they fall into obscurity then you’ll see them play more day games.

And by obscurity I mean both a losing record and a coach that no one cares about.

Yes, because the entire country was clamoring for noon September kickoffs in Columbia, SC.

LSU gets a disproportionate amount of night games. It's not up for debate.

Sankey needs to just stop. Night games are a tradition at LSU, just like UGA prefers 2:30 games. He's ruining the SEC!

would you agree that night games are an LSU tradition?

I would be curious to know how many night games have been played by each team going back 50 years

A good team should be able to play a game at any time and win most of the time.

I would say so. Would be interesting to see the numbers. Back when Franklin and Gottfried did the night games we seemed to play a lot of them.

Probably need to spread more of those early heater games around to everybody.

Honestly the same thing can be said for most of the teams in the Southeastern conference.

SC was setting all time heat record in their first game.

Because you can see what Baton Rouge and the campus actually looks like?

All I know is I'm loving the ABC 3 games a day coverage.

Outside temperature where it would be best to have night in the summer/early fall and day in the late fall/early winter, I generally don't care about game time.

Networks are the ones going to be deciding most of it anyway, not Sankey.
