Any idea on when we'll have the full times on the fb games?

They’re waiting to see what times Alabama and Auburn play. We won’t know until a couple weeks before each home game that the time hasn’t been announced yet.

All NFL network games were gonna be at 2:30CST in the afternoon...

I figure its going to be like most years, when its still hot our home games will be in the hottest part of the day, once it gets cold our games will be in the coldest part of the day. It's tradition at this point.

part of the reason that SoMiss game had lower than expected turnout last year.

It was nucking futs cold.

Yeah, I was freezing in the blazerclub, it must have been a cold wintery hell sitting on metal bleachers, at least right up until Spencer burst through the line of scrimmage in OT, because I don’t remember the walk to the car afterwards being cold at all.

It was FREEZING at that game!... and of course it was the longest game of the season. Had it been a day game, attendance would have been way better.

Looks as if we are getting nutkicked by literal fair weather fans. Come on, man. Clark put an 11 win team out there. This is starting to concern me for even when we get a new stadium.

Looking at it backwards.

Before 2014, we wouldn’t have gotten 15k for that game with that Kick-Off time and temp, and would have probably been closer to 12k.

Instead we got 25k and usm brought far fewer than they normally do.

My thoughts exactly.

Exactly! We get more people this way. I’m also glad we’re playing our first home game on a Thursday night to get more UA/AU fans out.

Yeah, but Im not sure it wasnt even colder the year before down in Hburg when we had to stand around outside the stadium for about 30 minutes waiting for the charter bus to come pick us up after that great win.

oh, i think of how much my definition of "freezing" has changed in the 14 years since i left Birmingham
