Arizona Football Releases Kick-off Times, Prepare for Late Starts

We are inching closer to the start of the 2018 season, and that means the release of the Arizona Football schedule. Beware for late games!

The 2018 Arizona Football season is almost here, and as most of the kick-off times were revealed, it shouldn’t be a surprise to fans for the upcoming late games.

East Coast bias! Larry Scott and the Pac-12 hates us! Hold on a minute, let’s take a step back here.

Conspiracy theorists, please take off the tinfoil hats for a second. First of all, we live in Arizona, one of the closest places to the Sun that isn’t Mercury or Venus. It’s hot from the end of April until the end of October.

While we can all agree on wanting better exposure for the school and program, there are geographical and meteorological challenges we unfortunately can’t overcome unless we were to add a roof over the stadium.

Early kick off times are a thing that won’t happen at Arizona, not in September or the early parts of October. That’s just an unfortunate reality we’re going to have to cope with.

Arizona certainly had more reasons to be frustrated last year. As the team was winning, and Khalil Tate emerged as an electric college player, the conference surely could have helped the Cats a bit more in giving the team a bit more exposure, but to complain this early is just silly.
