of North Dakota (sigh) i hate the Vikes and Pack oh so very much (sigh)

But i lived in New jersey for 7 years… Personally, I liked the games on at 1pm, and 4pm (830 sunday/monday nighter). Here are my reasons why. First off, i would always go to the jets home games and they would usually start at 4pm. I LOVED this. It gave everyone 3 extra hours of tailgating… We would usually go to the game around 11 and get there at about 12. And have a good 4 hours of tailgating. But out here, I wake up at 8am..and i am on 101 north by 9am.. Get to the stadium by 10-1030 and have 2-2 1/2 hours of tailgating…
My other reason why i like the east coast times was becasue whenever i was at a party or get together or anything at night time, there would always be a game on. A game to watch at a party is always necessary.. I used to love the late games….

Well thats it, just thought i would give my perspective.
GO NINERS

Four corners area.

The 1pm Eastern games were 6pm, now 5pm because we changed our clocks (does the US change the clocks). The 4pm games were 9, now 8. You all know that, because I bang on about my lack of sleep a lot when the Niners play at 1pm Pacific, 4pm Eastern. It means I go to bed after midnight – I don’t care because I love the 49ers more than my wife and children, and somewhere just below breathing.

Still working out how I’m gonna play the Bears/Cards games on the Thurs/Mon nights. They cause me some issues.

To answer Fooch’s question, I am technically in Greenwich Mean Time. If Fooch had posted this last week, I would not have been in Greenwich Mean Time. I would have been in British Summer Time. British Summer is officially over now, like the Niners’ play-off hopes (JOKE)

That’s why I’m glad I live in the Pacific time zone. I can wake up on Saturday mournings in the fall and start watching college football. Then on Sunday’s I can wake up in the mourning and immediately start watching the NFL.

Arizona.

i love the fact that i have 3 extra hours to write my weekly dissertations. :-)

I thought that I was the only 49er fan in High School and college. Then I got back from school and found that there are hundreds of 49er fans here in the East. We go to a bar in NYC called Finnerty’s Irish Pub on Sunday for the game. Its an oasis in the city for 49er fans. $2 PBR tall boys and free wings at halftime. No…I don’t work for the place, but its a great place to watch the games with other faithful fans.

and now go to school in Hayward

so, when you all change your clocks this weekend, I’ll be changing time zones. Morning games will move from 10:00 am to 11:00 am.
Which isn’t a big deal for me, as I wake up at 6:00 am, no matter where I am.

hate the 10 AM games. Not really – I like when there is a 10 am game on so I can wake up whenever and there is already football on – but I don’t like it when the Niners are on at 10 – then I have to make sure I am up by then

It’s all Colts around here…which means I have sit through 42-6 blowouts on Sundays if I stay home. But, I will be in Lucas Oil cheering our boys on Sunday.

since living in AZ and both times, there were alot more Niner fans there then I expected. I think it had to be close to a 35% 65% ratio…maybe more, who knows for sure.

It’s good to see the 49er support out here.

Unfortunately for the Cards, they have a ton of bandwagon fans that hopped on at gradual pace as last years season progressed… and rightfully so with how many losing years they’ve had in the history of their franchise. When the new stadium went up in Glendale, it was mostly businesses and business men buying all the season tickets up (NOT the 3 dedicated fans they had previously).

Before all of that, it was most often a away game for the Cards being played at home (which was Sun Devil Stadium)….good ol’ metal bench seating (Ouch) …literally. Anyway, I guess where I was going with that before I drove off the road was that there are a ton of transplants in AZ. Alot of fans of alot of teams out here.

Reppin’ the 707 from the 415 up and out yee yee in the bay.

Been a Niner fan since I was five (1981) and like all of us who remember the glory days, I am still waiting for that return to greatness. In the mean time, there are so few Niner fans in N.Y.C. and I often sit alone in some nameless sports bar watching games in a sea of Giant blue, hard to swallow after the playoff game in 1990. Anyone here in NYC know where I can find a Niner friendly bar?

and Mark Bravaro and Phil Simms can suck it.

As London Niner mentioned above the games here start at 6pm and 9pm normally on Sunday, which suits me perfectly. Last wk was different cos our clocks went back one hr, but I take it should be back to normal this coming weekend cos your clocks go back 1hr. Is that correct?

one of the few here in Mississauga who like the niners, most people are bills fans, which I always hate going to see what game is on and then I find out that the bills are playing, I would understand if they were a good team, but they really aren’t.btw I love having 1pm games, cuz then I can sleep in and I could never watch football at 10am

Lived in Northern California until age 15, moved to AK. Moving to Four Corners area next year.

And though I don’t like us having to play a 10AM game, visiting the east coast during football season is too odd for me. Watching a game at 4:00 in November, when it’s getting dark outside but the game is on the west coast where it’s still sunny? Weird. Then the night game at 8:30. I’d rather wake up and roll right into football.
