I actually like noon/early games. I think you should only have at most maybe like 2-3 regular season night games a year, hopefully for the biggest games (Michigan game excluded for us). This isn’t me saying I don’t like night games, do not get that wrong. Obviously yes for big matchups they can make an incredible atmosphere, no denying that. I recognize their utility all things considered. And yeah if you’re in the west yeah I can see why you wouldn’t like the early slate. We had a ton of day games last year and our fans complained so much about it- I think if you’re planning on watching it in the first place and the time slot makes you less excited about the game, that’s a you thing.
When people are constantly reminiscing about “old college football” though, one of the hallmarks of that to me is day games. I can remember when Ohio Stadium didn’t have permanent lights and had to bring them in (and lots of other places too I’m sure). They remind me of a simpler time in the game for sure, and fonder childhood related memories too I guess.
