UK is a night game, but why?

[madbamahater]

Tennessee has another night game coming up against UK. Does anyone know why UT keeps getting night games? Is this the 6th late kickoff this season?

Because Disney wants the best teams/games in primetime. That's where they charge the higher ad rates.

Night games >>>> nooners.

Winners play at night. 7:30 on ABC is the #1 slot, #2 is 3:30, #3 is 7 on ESPN and #4 is on SECN. It's all based on what game is the biggest match up that will draw viewers.

Our blackout looks better at night.

Half of each day is night so there's a 50-50 chance of a game being at night.

I'm not sure those odds are correct but I guess I'd like to see us have a 5 AM "night game" kickoff once.

Vols are BACK!!!

Spooky Top !!!

Tennessee and Kentucky is a rivalry game, although not a competitive one. It’s what happens when your team is ranked in the top 10 and draws eyes. It does suck that just about every road game has been at night, but that’s expected when you are a top SEC team

Vandy-Tennessee might not be a nooner the way things are going. GBO

The Kentucky or Scar game should be our game closest to Halloween and it should be a night game where we wear black (or if you're anti alts the smokys - KEEP THE GREYS)

Ok you got me. I looked it up and for Nov 2nd, there is only 10 hours 38 minutes and 37 seconds of daylight.

So its actually a 55.65% chance of a night kickoff

The crowd will be electric.
Halloween costumes will be worn.
Mark Stoops will have flashbacks from 2022.
The Vols will be coming off a bye while KY will be limping into Neyland after a dogfight with the barn.
Night games in Nelyand are better than day games.

GBO!!

I would much rather play at 7 pm than every game at noon. Means we are doing something right.

I can remember about a decade when 8/9 of our games were nooners.

So are you announcing UT @ Vandy for 730 on ABC?

Except during Sep 20 - Mar 20 when there is more night than day.

A 5 am kickoff. That would be interesting. Find out who the "real" fans are. Tailgating at 2 am.

Don’t like it. Players have admitted it’s hard to stay hyped up all day waiting for the game, coach has admitted it’s hard to keep the player focused all day, we have played better midday this season. We are coming off a bye and were asleep when we played Arkansas off a bye week. Kentucky can be dangerous.
