Re: Effect of early start-time?
I've talked to athletes who have participated in early-start games who have admitted, "yeah, i was pretty much still waking up."
I think it would be difficult for many people to have the same intensity at 11am that they can get at 8pm.
It also would not surprise me if home-field advantage were diminished somewhat on such games since crowds tend to be less enthusiastic/noisy.
This really isn't that crazy a theory.
