It's Central, maybe Mountain but for Az doing their Cha cha which is a big chunk of people who live in Mountain.   Eastern just gets too damn late and on the flip side if you are watching any sports across the pond Pacific is just too damn early, not to mention Pacific has weeknight shit starting at or before the time people are getting off work.

Pacific zone actually seems nice. Football early in the morning and doesn't end too late, especially the games that start at night.

During the week games starting at 5pm suck, I wake up early now so it’s not an issue but my hangover days would have sucked trying to wake up to watch the early 9am games.

The NSC safety show is every fall around the country. I typically get there Friday night or early Saturday no matter what part of the country.

Football is best on the west coast. Starts early and ends early.

I love Central. 11am kicks on Saturday give you time to either run errands before or sleep in. 9am kicks on the West coast suck, not to mention 5pm kicks for MNF.

This. 

I wanna get up, move slow, drink coffee, eat breakfast, maybe run a errand if I'm inclined. Get home, start some lunch, turn on the game.

Pacific.  Love it when I am in California visiting.  Worked in Vegas a lot this past football season.  The 10AM starts were great for NFL.

Just now realizing this past football season I managed to do at least 1 football weekend in every single timezone (granted the one in mountain time was NFL playoffs so not super representative of a regular schedule) and have to say maybe I'm just used to it but I like the rhythm rhyme and reason of Central time for both College and NFL football viewing the best. Doesn't start too early like 9am local kickoffs in Pacific/Vegas time and later games don't run into the wee hours of the next day like on the East coast. 

Now if only we could get some MLB expansion in the west (Portland, SLC?) and do some rearranging to get the Astros in the AL Central (maybe kick those chuds in Kansas City into the AL west so we can bring the Rangers to the Central with us) then things would be perfect and none of the regular beating of 9pm central west coast baseball games...

I'm a fan of the Hawaii time zone. Wake up and watch the morning games with my coffee. Later games with lunch. Have the afternoon for the beach.

Same. Even on weekends, I'm up about 7am ish and already going with walking the dog and getting my activity in. I'm good to go by 9am to watch a game. Pacific time would would great for me now as right when I'm getting back, games are starting. And these late games are ending at 10-11pm vs 1am

I’ve come to love mountain time games. Things don’t end at awful times. A 6/6:30 prime time game ends just as you’re really to roll into bed. 10am is great too for college

Used to live in L.A.  College football began at 9am with the noon EST kickoffs and ended with the some crazy late WAC kick off at 10pm.  Every weekend was like New Year's Day.

6AM Texas/OU will be the death of me.
