Because -- home or away -- you always prefer to watch UW at night? Or is it that you like noon games just fine but also wish UW had more control here?
He likes the Late Games - Camp Randall turns into "Nightmare on Elm Street" specially when the Buckeyes pay a visit.Wish they could be pleasant and kind - like the Columbus Crowds :106:

Fox's forcing of noon is saying we can't compete with the ACC, SEC, and Big 12 at 3:30 or maybe it's we can't compete with ESPN?

Oddly enough, I'm one of those weird West Coasters who likes the noon kicks, even though it's 9 AM for me. 

I get to sit around, have my coffee while watching Gameday, and then get right into football. Why wait until noon and waste the whole morning on non-football activities?

Likewise, this means that the "Primetime" games are on at 5:30 PM, which is pretty much prime football-watching time. I don't necessarily want a game to kick off at 8:30 PM and not finish until midnight. If there's a compelling Pac12 After Dark game, I might stay up for it, but having a 5:30 kickoff that finishes around 9 PM allows me to wind down and go to bed. I'm a man. I'm 41. Staying up until midnight is a pain.

Now that I no longer attend, I like watching night games at Camp Randall. Plus, it's a nightmare for other teams.

Like I said, I disagree. This isn't a creative/cowardly TV niche like Boise State on Thursday was. This is helmets reconcentrating around noon in 2019 in the same way that over-many teams moved to night games in the mid-2000s. Like ELA and Max, I'm also excited for good games to be spread out throughout the day, rather than put all at once.
I think the best argument to dislike this Fox policy isn't about being sad about noon in general but how it specifically removes control from the hosts. But for a better outcome, I think it's worth it for that to be the way the cookie crumbles.

I and Fox hope you are right and the ratings reflect it.

I really don't mind an 11am game.  Bloody Mary's, brats for lunch during halftime and time for a round of gold post-game.

This of course, if I'm staying home to watch

11AM is a bit too early for getting to the stadium - oh I can manage it fine, but it's not ideal.  Not ideal for the bars and restaurants and other vendors.

Eh, depends, I think you have a better chance to get two crowds with the early start.  Late start you lose a lot of people to tailgating

Yeah, but a lot of people who don't host a tailgate will still hit one pregame, then go out after the game.  I'm one of those people.  Early starts those tailgaters are tailgating while the bars are closed anyway.  Then after the game you still have plenty of time to go out.  So the bars get the people coming in for the game, and the people coming in later.  For the primetime kicks they don't get that.

If you got more malt into your diet it would introduce more manly hormones into your bloodstream and this wouldn't be such an obstacle.Or you could try coffee - black

Our tailgates used to start at 5AM, when we used to have to fight for spots. Then we rented our own lot and all was good. Started at more like 7-7:30, with daylight.

I got to a point where I didn't drink before games. Night games were a bitch for that, but I was probably the only guy in stadium who didn't have a hangover at halftime.

Quite literally the only liquids I regularly drink are black coffee, water, and fermented hopped malted beverages. 

The problem is the exact opposite... After enough malt in my diet, going to bed before 10 sounds like a great idea. I drink beer, not smoke meth. It's a depressant.
