Oregon fans better have their coffee and energy drinks ready for the late kickoff

I hate this!!!
Not only does it make it hard for many of those attending the game, but it also affects viewership. That's 11:00PM on the east coast and offers little to no visibility for the program, as well as getting Heisman attention for Dillon Gabriel. Heck, that's even 10:00PM in Big-10 country.
I just don't understand this. I suppose the networks may see an 8:00PM kickoff as prime time in the west. I think of it as "bed" time. Lol
Oh, well. I'll be recording this one. Sucks.

Feels weird that our first ever B1G game is at 8:00 PM against UCLA….

Unfortunately, it’s going to become the norm in the B1G. Someone needs to fill that 8pm time slot, and I can’t imagine scenarios where it’s not the west coast teams. I expect a couple of these a year.

I personally love this time slot as a night owl in a family of night owls with great TV setups... but, objectively, it's definitely not ideal.

I really miss the 12:30pm kickoffs. Every week is unpredictable these days.
Oh, well. Whining won't help, I guess.

Typically don’t care about the time, but I’ll be on the east coast for this game so definitely sucky. Gonna prolly just DVR it and watch it the next day. Lame!

I'd love a 8pm kickoff for when Ohio State visits us and see how they'd like playing at unusual times of the day.

Per Dan Lanning, Matthew Bedford re-injured his right leg during the bye week, looks like he won’t play anytime soon. That’s brutal, cause while the Oline with Strothers seems to be fine, the depth is very thin with Bedford and Iuli out.
