Deion Sanders may think the time of the game is stupid, but his Colorado Buffaloes face the Stanford Cardinal on Friday, Oct. 13. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial), DirecTV Stream (free trial) and SlingTV (half off first month).

The game won’t start until at least 9 p.m. (8 p.m. Mountain) and doesn’t figure to finish until after 11:30 p.m., maybe even carry into early Saturday.

“Who makes these 8 o’clock games? Dumbest thing ever. Stupidest thing ever invented in life. Who wants to stay up until 8 o’clock for a darn game?” Sanders said on his weekly radio show. “What about the East Coast — do they even care about ratings? Is anyone watching it? What are we supposed to do with the kids all day until 8 o’clock? What are we supposed to do in the hotel?”

A win over Stanford, though, would move Sanders and the Buffaloes a step closer to bowl eligibility after the team went 1-11 last season. The Buffaloes haven’t won a bowl game since 2004. Stanford, coming off a bye week, is looking to avoid its worst overall start since 2006, when the Cardinal began 0-9. They’ve lost three straight to Colorado by a combined 11 points. Their last win over the Buffaloes was in 2015 and featured San Francisco 49ers running back and Denver native Christian McCaffrey.

When is Colorado-Stanford?

Colorado faces Stanford at 9 p.m. (10 p.m. ET) on Friday, Oct. 13.
