I’ll give you six reasons why:
1. 2:30 game is way better than an 11:00 game. You can tailgate in the Junction before and after, and the only SEC game on TV you’d be missing is Georgia vs. Florida – who cares?
2. It’s a stripe out, so having 35-40,000 fans in the stadium instead of a packed house is going to look pretty awful. Last year’s stripe out vs. Louisiana Tech was missing half the upper deck and this is likely to be worse. A bunch of vacant seats is not what the doctor order for this stroke of marketing.
