in order to balance out the good games later today they have to have bad games in the early slots.
Games? There is one good game later and that's the SEC Title Game. Big XII Title game will probably be over by halftime. USC vs UCLA will probably be over after the 1st quarter. Cincy vs Hawaii will be exciting for all the degens that get killed betting the earlier games but get one more chance in the "get even game". Isn't that the only reason why Hawaii plays evening home games? So degens have a chance to let everything ride on last game of the night to make up for the losses earlier that day.
Live in Atlanta and hit up normal bars last night. Every bar from Buckhead to downtown Atlanta had lines out the door, and I would say 75% was Bama students. Most people I've ever seen out in one night in Atlanta.
Alabama must have brought 85% of its student population to Atlanta.
