With Oregon slated to win the North Division and finish behind Utah for the Pac-12 title, the commissioner of the conference brought up the notion of scheduling games in the morning. Usually, college football games precede after ESPN College Gameday with the majority of contests happening on the east coast.
For Oregon fans, 9 a.m. matchups would not bode well, especially the tailgaters who already pack the parking lots around Autzen Stadium to get ready for the festivities. Taylor’s Bar and Grill and Rennies would undoubtedly plan to stock up for mimosas but a morning game would take away the buildup and excitement leading up to a game at Oregon.
