Washington Game --- Official Thread (8pm FS1)
- Thread starter Jens1893
- Start date
I could be wrong, but don't they normally show the games from Game Day ON ESPN/ABC?
The striping thing last time they tried failed because it rained for like 4 hours prior to the game.
Not always.
Just call us butter...
We're gonna roll you pussy.
Expectations are the key to everything, and theirs are slightly higher than our Buffs'.
This as good a place as any to drop this given the kickoff time. Wilner is doing a poll on preferred start times. The initial results surprised me a bit, but I guess only 5% are voting to like attending games with a kickoff 7pm PT or later (hat tip to @rward )

I personally prefer night games for attending. Always a bit rowdier, no sun/ heat, more pre-game drinking time.
night games all the way for me.
allows me to plan an outdoor activity during the day and even take a nap if necessary (at my age, this is a real issue). I would expect this to be a highly compelling "pro" for most outdoor-loving Coloradans. if a game is at 12PM or even 2PM, chances are the game and associated activities makeup my entire day.
facilitates a better (drunker) atmosphere at the game.
facilitates a better atmosphere at tailgates, never mind the additional hours of tailgate allowable time.
allows the chance to watch any other important-to-me games during the day so the outcome isn't ruined when they put the score on the board.
no sun in the eyes, no hassle with sunscreen, no worry about sunglasses --> less stuff to carry into the stadium in my tiny clear bag
allows me to get my peak drunkenness sync'd to kickoff without concern over a post-game hangover through which I would otherwise be expected to function (i.e. if I'm drunk AF walking into a 3PM game, I'm not going to be very productive at anything during the evening hours after the game no matter how much the wife wants my help with dinner or expects me to finish some task)
other than parents with small kids who, (1) realistically should expect some night games and (2) should understand that giving up fun adult stuff is part of the price one pays for being a parent, I genuinely don't understand the negatives:
- cold weather can be mitigated with appropriate gear (hot weather is harder to mitigate, but holding ice cubes in both arm pits until they melt is amazingly effective). I suspect most Coloradans own gear which would allow them to comfortably withstand any game we've hosted in the last several years.
- I would argue that 8PM MT is a very favorable time for a Pac team to be on national TV (prime time, biggest game on during that slot, not competing with East coast teams for viewers)

What bothers me about the late kicks as much as losing out on prime spots like the 6pm MT ish windows to the Big 10 and ACC. As a league, we've lost out on individual accolades and we may lose a CFP invite over them.

This is somewhat true. Many businesses there open later than in our time zone, they sort of adapt to western time and we sort of adapt to eastern time.
Making a big assumption that thousands in attendance own silver (gray) tops too. Not a lot of silver Buffs gear out there.
Last week was straight up "wear silver". To your point, I didn't feel like it went that well.
If they get the word out to enough people, it will work. They have been selling more and more gray stuff the past two years. They tried this in 2015 against Oregon and I think it would have worked if there hadn't been a damn monsoon that evening. By the time the game actually started, a lot of people had gone home, and the ones that stayed were in various colored rain jackets.
I am hoping for the SBS look. Perhaps CU's best looking home alternate.
Could be B-S-B
FALSE. he has no girlfriend!! NICE TRY
