I agree with you about the arrogance and whiny attitude of the Tide. Ultimately TV controls kickoff times. Can you actually believe that they prefer to have a competitive game in prime time? /s Maybe Saban should schedule better teams in non-conference to get a prime time. I’ve seen many 11:00 am kickoffs between OU and Texas, some extremely hot, and some cold. Other than the hardship of the fans for both teams, the conditions are the same for all competitors. Suck it up, buttercup. Talk to your AD about the TV contract that the vaunted SEC signed giving TV the right to dictate kickoff times.
Enough said.

College football should be played in the afternoon so fans can tail gate, go to the game then out to dinner.
You don't get to see the sun, the long shadows and the fall colors on the campus when they're televised at night......
Putting OU-Texas on in the afternoon is strategic. It keeps both fan bases from getting too drunk and rowdy the night before because they will need to be up the next morning for the game. Plus, more fans will drive home in the safety of daylight if the game is played during the day.
