This was well played by Alabama. They might have waited a bit long to complain, but they also waited until there was a clear pattern to use as a basis for their complaint. This probably hurts LSU more than it helps Alabama (as Selma alluded to Alabama is closer to the norm than LSU is) but that's fine by me. No SEC team deserves to monopolize night games.After the SEC announced LSU will play the next two games at 11 a.m., the LSU fans are all of a sudden upset about things. Weird how that works.
I'm obviously referring to a century-long (not literally but it seems that way) whine from our opponents that every single time something happens that in any way sorta seems to go Alabama's way, the cry is, "The SEC offices are in Birmingham" - as if that answers anything.THE SEC FRONT OFFICE IN BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA?!
I do declare!
Maybe the SECN puts you on at night against TN?will we have a night game before November?
CBS took Alabama vs. Texas A&M. This despite the possibility of an undefeated Florida playing at an undefeated LSU the same day.will we have a night game before November?
that seems like the best shot.Maybe the SECN puts you on at night against TN?
With the games being played that day, it is easily the one with the most viewership. The problem is that it won’t be the BEST game that day. But it is on a weekend of blowouts and tomato matchups. If CBS picks TSIO they are going to either pay a huge penalty and have to bargain with the kick times with the US-LSU game and IB or going to pick and choose which one to broadcast. The problem is that by choosing ND-UGA, UA-aTm,and UA-Ole Miss they have a lot of conflicts between UA, AU, LSU, and UGA. So more than likely they will pass on TSIO to prevent contract problems so ESPN is likely getting that game. The possibility for 11am kick for TSIO is real once you consider there are some big BIG 10 and PAC 12 games on that week.Tennessee game has only been an 11am game once under Saban and it was in 2007. It has almost always ended up on CBS or The ESPN Family of Networks in a 6 or 7pm kickoff.
