NFL kickoff is at 8 AM on Sunday -- 7 before the (mainland) time change!
CSC Scania in 2007 I saw the BCS Championship Game at 4 AM.

Wasn't planning on it, just woke up at 2 AM HST and realized, "Holy shit, the World Cup final!"

I was going to wake up at 2AM for the US-Portugal game. I woke up around 20 minutes late and the US was already up 2-0. All the games were overnight for that World Cup and I refused to miss a US game or a final. Thankfully some games were at 7 or 9AM NY time.
