MSU and BYU will Kickoff at 9:15. We Should Never Play Another Game after 9:00 Again

Go ahead and cancel your plans the evening of Friday, October 14th or move them a couple hours earlier. Mississippi State and BYU are set to kickoff at 9:15 CT and 8:15 MT when the Bulldogs head to Provo. The last time we went to Provo, all the way back in September of 2000 (I was 5 at the time), the Bulldogs won 44-28.

And so, I'm excited about playing BYU. It's a real out of conference opponent who will likely matchup with Mississippi State fairly well and make this game exciting.

That being said, I hate this kickoff time. It's late. It's very, very late. How am I supposed to do normal college stuff on a Friday evening when the game is this late? And even then, how am I supposed to get up early the next morning to watch College Gameday so I can get ready to watch more college football.

And if you don't remember the last time we had a kickoff around 9:00 pm, it was this past year with Southern Miss. From Justin Sutton's fan reaction piece after we won a fairly sloppy game:

We. Were. All. So. Very. Very. Tired.

And we're likely going to be that tired again. Thanks BYU. You're keeping me up past my bedtime. I hate you for that. See you October 14th.
