Saturday morning football games: good or bad?

Noon is a perfect time for the games.  It keeps the tailgaters under control - LOL.

I enjoy special night games with top teams playing.  

I'm for college football any time of the day,,morning, noon or night....Bring it on.

I'll be honest...morning football is a big reason why I want to move to the west coast...I currently reside in Ohio, so it couldn't possibly be any worse

Football anytime is great! I am on west coast so I love waking up and starting a fall Saturday off with football. Though if Michigan and east coast time schools start playing in the am, I probably would have to be up at 5-6am to start drinking haha

Can you imagine waking up at 6am only to see your team get pasted by like 40 points?  This is the first time I feel sorry for the people of Hawaii!

Go do something outside and have the DVR running.
Life is too short to watch commercials

with kids in fall sports from now through eternity... my Saturdays are fubar.   Night games will probably be the safest bet for my personal viewing enjoyment.  

 

I have been in Vegas before when games are starting at noon in A.A.  Starting the morning off with a fuzzy navel, bagel, and a parlay slip is fairly relaxing.

College football starting 9am every Saturday

NFL games starting at 9:30 am every Sunday

 

would be awesome

I like the early games but would not want Michigan to do one.

I used to go to sleep between 3 and 6 am...Now that I am a "grown up" I am usually in bed before midnight . I was up at 6:30 this morning . So knowing ther will be early football this Saturday works for me .

First college games at 7am on Saturday, to the beach in the afternoon.  The west coast was a bit further over time zone-wise, but OK too.  Germany?  "Morning" games obviously shifted to the right and it was strange to see afternoon games end in the evening: games like Monday Night Football were out of the question.  I did see a few Michigan games from Afghanistan in the prime 1-4am time block though!     

Awful idea, hate it. Fuck mornings!

I can catch the last 2-5 minutes of the game, PERFECT! 

 

 

Loved that about wathcing games when living on the west coast or visiting Hawaii.

Over here in Asia (13 or 14 hours ahead), the games that are most problematic are the Noon kickoffs, which means around 1 or 2 AM on Sunday mornings...around deal closing time if you are out and the beer googles are on. Talk about dilemas and sacrifices!

Stay up...put in a nap? (missed the first half of quite a few games that way)

If the noon games are skippable, a bit of sleep and the late afternoon games and night games are great.

Start with a Bloody Mary or something in the Orange Juice or coffee, and we are off and running. Most games are done before the SO and friends (who can never comprehend this weird obesession you have for college football) can even start to complain, and still time for short nap and make it to an afternoon game or BBQ or something.

Actually, I wonder why the MAC hasn't jumped on something like Saturday 10 AM start games.

I'd much rather watch live action than Game Day with the same half hour of previews repeatedly. They could get a decent audience, and the networks would be able to use it to plug their games later in the day.
 

I would not be a fan of this.

Anything before noon is too early.  I don't envy the Big Ten schools in the Central time zone that have to put up with 11:00 a.m. local kickoffs.  Thank goodness we're in the Eastern time zone.

When I lived in Cali, I got up at 7:30 am to start drinking and the "noon game" started at 9am.

Hated it.

I would have missed Michigan game if it started at 7:30AM which is way too early for a football game to start. I don't mind noon games as I'm up at 11AM.

is there ever a bad time for a football game? lol i say no, anytime is a good time for me. (sarcasm font engaged)

I don't mind noon games or earlier as long as they're games against non-marquee opponents, like a Ball State, EMU, Purdue or Rutgers. As far as early morning games, like 7-8:30, would I personally mind? No. I'd love to roll out of bed, turn on the TV and start my day with some UM Football. I'm much more of a morning person now than I was 4-5 years ago.

But many of the students would absolutely despise it, and unless it was the MSU/OSU game, you'd see a lotttttt of empty seats at the stadium. I would've hated it when I was a student too.

7:30 AM on the east coast is 12:30 PM in Dublin.   Just like 10:00 PM on the east coast is 12:00 PM Sydney time.  College football gets played around 12:00 PM local time I guess.

Coffee and live football first thing in the morning?  SIGN ME UP!

is very much like sex.

If there's a wrong time to enjoy it, I haven't found it.

Watched all of last season from Africa which was the exact opposite since the time was 6 or 7 hours ahead (daylight savings changes it), so mostly 7 pm and 10 pm starts.  I actually kinda enjoyed the late night football along with many many beers, but Utah at 3:30 am and Minnesota at 2 am were a bit rough. 

I loved the football schedule when I was living in California. College football gets going at 9 AM, then the late games weren't even that late. It made for a great day of football watching.

A lot of people like early Michigan games to "get it out of the way" so they can do other stuff.  

Not me.  A Michigan game in the fall is the highlight of my day.  I get the other stuff out of the way so I can focus on the Michigan game.

We only get 12 games a year in the fall for certain.  It's not something that I just want to get out of the way.
