The Gainesville Sun reports that Georgia’s Sept. 2nd season opener against Western Kentucky will kick off at 12:30 and will be televised by the Lincoln Financial network (formerly JP Sports). The Dawgs move into that time slot because other schools, including Florida, didn’t want to change their kickoff times from the much later (and cooler) 6:00.

Damn, that’s gonna be early and hot, even for a season opener.
