What's the earliest time a Pac12 game should be played
- Thread starter froropmkr72
- Start date
1 p.m. Any earlier and your in-game refreshments wreak havoc with the remainder of your day, rendering any post-game family activities pretty much moot, as far as you are concerned.
11am is pushing it imo. I'd prefer noon, as I could get there from the west side of the state without having to get started too early.
If 12:30 PM was good enough for Brother Keith Jackson, it's good enough for me.
IMO, the PAC 12 should be kicking off at 11:30, 3, 6:30.
Get your kids home as soon as you can. It is simply mind numbing to think there are teams finishing at 11pm and then getting to an airport for a 3 hour flight home. Kids getting home from a ball game at 4am is f&cking stupid.

11am is pushing it (and used to be considered really early), but could be lived with on occasion, I think. 9am is absurd.
Noon, although I’d tolerate an occasional 11 or 11:30 start. Nothing earlier.
How about the perfect game time-
4-5 pm for me
No earlier than noon for earliest start time.
9am is insane—you haven’t even gotten over last nights hangover to be able to get a coat of grease in the stomach from breakfast to Make the Saturday morning beers go down easier. 1pm is ideal—morning/afternoon to socialize and barbecue, then catch the game.
Hmmm. On Cougar Gameday in Pullman it’s 16 hours of being awake. -4 hours being at game. 12 hours of drinking regardless of what time game is. Not quite understanding your argument here.
It's pretty routine for the rest of the country (particularly the Big 10 and Big 12) to start games at 11 am local time.
Only for those in Central Time Zone and it is for TV.
The Eastern Time Zone teams in Big 10 and West Virginia in Big 12 do not have 11am starts.
Those were the days. Whooooaa Nellieee! God I miss those old ABC graphics too. First and 10...I almost miss the low def grainy picture! They don’t do em like they used to.
How bout really old school, PAC8 and get your Cougar asses to the game.
No TV, regardless of size or clarity will replace sitting in the stands.
Well......TV is kind of the point of the whole discussion. Close to half of the teams in the Power 5 start games at 11 am.....so I can't see how we think that the Pac-12 can't do that.
Stay up all night, have a designated driver and play your drums by the roadside. Only thing cooler is if he has 1/4 bottle of whiskey beside the kit.
