Asking for a friend.... but does the sun get behind the west side grandstand before that kick off time?

HOW WERE WE NOT THE 8:15 ESPN GAME?????

Asking for a friend.... but does the sun get behind the west side grandstand before that kick off time?

Mostly, yes. There will be parts of the East side still in the sun, though.

Yes. It will be rough for us East siders in the first half though.

 

[57stratdawg]

Haha I’m glad we aren’t. That would be a little too much tailgating

 

[RPOdawg]

Perfect.

 

[WutheringDawg]

Selfishly very glad we are not the 8:15 game. Also, rebels will be a sacrificial lamb in Death Valley that late at night. Hope it’s a full moon.

 

[rem101]

Upper deck on east side will be roasting.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

Also allows for post-game tailgating...

 

[L4Dawg]

The east side will be in the sun most of the 1st half. We sit about halfway up in the lower deck and the shade hit us right at kick off Saturday.

Where can you find the SEC gametimes? Everywhere I'm looking still says TBD.

It's on our schedule on HailState.com

 

[WutheringDawg]

It was tweeted out by sec network a few minutes ago.

 

[missouridawg]

Yes. It will be rough for us East siders in the first half though.

I asked causes I’m sitting in the east side. My question was geared towards whether or not I’ll be staring at the sun the first half... hopefully it will be low enough that I’m in the shade. Sitting almost at midfield in the lower level.

 

[WilCoDawg]

From pictures I’ve seen, yes.

 

[WilCoDawg]

Better bring your welding shield.

 

[PineGroveBully]

I bet you could find about 4 million pairs of "eclipse" glasses if one looked hard enough.

According to google, on September 29th in Starkville, MS sunset is at 6:42 PM.

I guess work backwards from there. It will be dark for the 2nd half though

Seems like after the 1st quarter, everyone should be good

I thought we would be a shoe in for the CBS games. They really want TN-UGA?

[Hail State]

Club level and above will have a good two hours of sun in their face

For the life of me I don't understand why CBS picks up non-competitive games they know will lose two-thirds of the viewer by halftime. Maybe they just get paid on advertisements by the peak viewing (i.e., at kickoff).

Why wouldn’t they?

CBS doesn’t care at all about competitive games. It’s all about ratings, and there are big markets in Georgia and Tennessee. Same reason they always put Bama vs Tennessee in the 2:30 slot every year even though it hasn’t been a close game in years.

 

[GloryDawg]

It will not be as bad as the last two games.

I understand that but the ratings have to suck when a game is not competitive. That is why I'm saying the key number must be peak viewing and not average viewing. Lots of eyeballs at kickoff for a GA-TN game but a large part of that viewing crowd will be gone when GA is up 4+ scores at halftime.

Where I sit that means we get shade about 6:15 or so.

we will be the CBS game the following week

and remember that will be 14 days later and estimate a minute a day.

That's what I did.

I’m guessing you can’t be a fraction over 5-7

No, the shade didn't hit us until kickoff Saturday night. First half will be all sun.

Well this explains it....since our game vs UF will only be competitive for a half!! We r going to turn Cousin Eddie and his Gators everyway but loose. Gator meat is mighty tasty.

 

[MSUDC11]

I bet if Florida had beaten Kentucky and were ranked right now, we probably would have been the CBS game. As others have said, great chance the Auburn game is on CBS, and it’s a possibility for the LSU, Alabama, and Arkansas games. The SEC schedule the weekend we play the Hogs is the worst I’ve ever seen. Only other conference games are Ole Miss-Vandy and Mizzou-Tennessee.
