I seriously doubt it! I LOVE football, and know many who do.....Several that I know do NOT stay up past 10 PM unless it is THEIR team playing.
And lets be honest... Do you know ANYONE East of The Miss River that gets excited about games ending close to Midnight. Personally, I call B.S. on the viewer numbers listed by the Networks....as long as Advertisers pay up / buy into it. I'm here in SEC / Gator/ Dawg territory. I know about 12 DIE HARD UGA fans. NONE of them were thrilled at all with a MONDAY game. Prime Time games SUCK!
