God Dammit! I didnt get to sleep until after 3:30 on Saturday. Woke up yesterday feeling like i was out drinkin the night before.
Umm no! Ratings have a little something to do with this. If what you said was true we'd be playing Cincinnati on ESPN +.
I think it's as simple as that slot needs to be filled by a M/PTZ team and CU is pulling 2-3x the viewership of anyone else at that time.
I'm worried that we're going to suffer what Boise State did carrying the MWC media contract. They had so many late night and weeknight games that their attendance started to decline and they had a more challenging schedule, making success more difficult.
Younger me hates this, but I'm not 100% due to kickoff time. Getting home at 1 as a parent is brutttall

For those of you folks that watched it on TV like I did, is it just me or does it seem like there are a lot more commercials in the late game time slot? I watched 2 other games before CU and it didn’t seem like nearly as many between plays.
What.The. ****???
Again, this is because CU and Prime get ratings, but FOX, ESPN and CBS all have more money invested in the B1G and SEC, so those programs are going to get the Noon and 330 ET slots.
I get that but usc, oregon, washington, utah all get decent ratings and out west. They aren't playing late night games.
lol. Why is anyone surprised. We are the big 12 after dark school. Glad I sold these as well
USC, Oregon, and Washington are all in the B1G but they have all played night games so far
Utah played Arizona in the 8:15 MT ESPN two weeks ago and just played ASU in the Friday night 8:30 MT slot.... So yeah, they are all playing late night games.
I'm just guessing here but it looks like Fox passed us over for the 4pm EST slot on 10/26 for one the of those 6-day hold games. This is assuming that Fox will have a 4pm game that day, Game 2 of the WS is at 8pm. (See week 9 in below link) Or maybe Fox didn't want to have us 2 weeks in a row since we're on Fox this week.

You're* sorry.
Way too much complaining. Take a nap, get an energy drink, and enjoy late night football.
Again. Try understanding those of us with tickets that include young children and older parents.
Normally, as random old guy I would be displeased with a late kickoff that extends past my bedtime. But I pleasantly found out last week I am too tired with a late kickoff to get very agitated with idiotic offensive game planning. That is a blood pressure win folks, for sure.
