Any recruit with even a remote interest in either school will see this game, no matter what time.
Most of the recruits who really matter, will be at the game, and they would have a much better experience in a night game environment.
Heat is a non factor. If any difference between the two cities, it’s minute.
C’mon clob, you of all people know Alabama will be here the day before, in time to get plenty of sleep. They’re not waking up Saturday morning, and jumping on a yellow dog to make the trip.
The only positive to a noon game, is the coaches get to spend more time with the visiting recruits after the game.
Now this is just my opinion, but I believe night game environments in big games result in more magical upsets than day games.
