Sounds like a fun day.
Why are all the times on here in Eastern?
Because most of his readers live in the Eastern time zone.
Because he works for a newspaper in the eastern time zone.
Anonymous beat me to it. Twice.
Ok, so in hindsight I guess it was a pretty dumb question.
It's just that when you're talking about something that isn't on TV and can only be experienced by being there (i.e. the punt, pass, and kick competition) I would just think that you would use the time zone that that event is in.
However, since the game is on TV and you're in Eastern time it would be pretty confusing if you used two different time zones within one post.
I don't have any data to back this up but I wouldn't be surprised if most of the readers of this blog are in the Central Time Zone since it is an Auburn blog. So in that sense I do challenge Anonymous' first comment. I could be wrong about that as well though.
Seriously though, A-Day is going to be fun.
I'd like to get to the Credit Union parking lot early to park, but then I'm not sure I can walk the distance to Toomers from there. Wish Tiger Transit would run back & forth from Toomers to Donahue. :(
Oh well, the weather will be nice and I can't wait to see my Tigers!!
Eastern Time Zone rules! ;-)
Thanks for the info, Andy!
And, Anonymous is AWESOME!!!
