2019 Week 4 CFB Open Thread

Maybe I haven't seen the proper thread yet but you guys (B1G Fans) should really give Fox Sports shit for putting the Michigan/Wisconsin game at 12:00 Noon.
That's some late November bullshit. This is a big, nationally relevant game that should receive a much better timeslot.
Fox is doing that with all their premier games this season. With ABC/ESPN and CBS putting their top games in the 3:30 and 7:30/8:00 p.m. time slots, there's less competing for viewers.
To further sum up my point, here's why:

Which would suggest to me that the networks are concentrating on the Midwest, South, and Southwest. More or less writing off the coasts as a difficult lace to sell college football.

Fine, but that 78% jump may be due to the fact that the 12 slot was filled with crappy teams/games until this year. Personally, I dislike the 12 slot. And am I right that Urban wanted night games for recruiting purposes? I don't see too many California kids getting up at 9am to catch an Ohio State kickoff.

we getting it for 2 straight games now. :smash:

this will be the earliest scheduled OOC game in Tiger Stadium history.

the App St game in 2008 was a 10:00am kick, due to moving it up for a Hurricane (Gustav). Was originally an afternoon game.


coincidentally immediately upon Bama bitching about 11am games, LSU gets slapped with 2 in a row.

You guys don't like to be blackout drunk before 1:29 pm. You should try it. Just view it as a really long pregame for the nighttime festivities.

However, if your team loses it makes for really fun time for eveyone around you the rest of the day.
