While the TV folks may like the 12EST/11CST time slot, there should never be a football game that starts before 12 noon local time. If they want a game in that slot, go find a game played in the eastern time zone. They should also try to put as many September games at night as possible. My crew won?t be back for any midday games in September again next year. Sorry, it?s just an absolutely awful experience.

The problem is that the deal the SEC has with CBS that prohibits other SEC games being played during the 230-6 pm window. The SEC powers that be should hold ESPN?s feet to the fire and insist that it put the majority of games in the 6 pm or later window.
