Or you can just go to the game. By the way, why was this scheduled so late? Back in Auburn they won't see it until 10'30 PM. Memorial gets cold and windy at night and this makes it uncomfortable for many.

Not too bad in September actually.

The balmy night games of the early season are much more comfortable than November.

UCLA game last Saturday was also a 7:30 start. I foresee a lot of 7:30 starts in the future with new evening ACC inventory available.

Calford basically enables this, more ad dollars for ESPN

It's at 7:30 to maximize TV viewership.

Because the National Media don't see Cal as relevant. Only USC and UCLA get prime time slots. The only reason we are on ESPN is because Auburn is in the SEC.

It will be 9:30pm.

But that's part of the reason. Make it so late and get the most out of home field advantage.

Same reason why Pac 12 is no longer going to be in existence. Incompetent leadership!

The later and colder and more hostile the better for those thin skinned southern folks!
