Boo.

I was hoping for the 3:30 slot, gonna be a long day

I'll admit, I'm not thrilled about a night game there.

Well gameday that day will either be in Tuscaloosa or Athens. Probably Athens since they've already been to Bama.

Please let us be the underdogs.

Please let us be the underdogs.

we will be the underdogs

Trying to be objective - that ole Miss/UGA game seems like the bigger matchup. Surprised it’s not the night game.

30 year anniversary of this night game in Bama

First play from scrimmage

My guess is they're trying to hype their Simpson heisman narrative. You can count on them praising him every chance they get during the broadcast and if we shut him down, well, there's always "he's still playing hard to overcome the odds".

Please let us be the underdogs.

I don't think that will be a problem

 

[UTFranklinVol]

well this is not thrilling news. going to make an already hard game even harder. one day maybe heupel can win a game this tough. hopefully that day is Oct18

Please let us be the underdogs.

I’m guessing we’ll be 4.5-5.5 point under dogs.

 

[IndianaVol]

I was afraid of that...

Are night games really that more difficult? Is it waiting all day that makes it so?

night games are way more electric. fans crazier, atmosphere at night more crazy. I absolutely think it has an effect on young kids to have to play in a prime time atmosphere like that

The 3:30 spot has been kind to us in Neyland the past 2 times, but I would like to see Neyland at night vs Bama. It feels like it’s been a long time, maybe ‘08? Kiffin pointed out how they keep getting their home games vs LSU during the afternoon and LSU mostly gets that game at night. Seems that might be the case here too.

The crowd has more time to get juiced up.

I’m sure there are some analytics on this.. I’d be curious what impact there is if any

More passed out students and arrests

Theres a decent chance we play Florida at night as well. It looks like the only other matchup that week that could get the 3:30 would be Mizzou at OU.

That and the crowd is usually louder for nt games.

Fans are rowdier. More time to liquor up. Cooler atmosphere, light shows, etc. If the away team starts off poorly, I think it’s easy to get rattled

That was my thought as well - and maybe a higher risk of things being throwed out on the field. But really not sure if or how it affects the play on the field.
