My guess is that those are games governed by contacts with the various conferences. Other games will.get filled in as the other networks make their choices on a week by week basis.

Do you actually think that ESPN will not broadcast a single Bama game?

 

[NesbitTideFan]

i know they will show bama games, but where is the rest of the sec? shouldnt it already be locked and loaded?

 

[runtheoption22]

SEC games are usually not decided until 1-2 weeks before the week of the game. A lot of times it is that Saturday night or Sunday afternoon before. The reason is that CBS has first pick for their "game of the week" at 2:30 in the afternoon. ESPN will then get the next best SEC matchup for 6:45 or 8 PM.

 

[NesbitTideFan]

cool, i didnt know that. i hope espn picks up the bama/ut game. i hated that cbs picked it up last year.

Doubt you'll see that. It has too much of an afternoon college football appeal.

 

[BAMMAR]

If we start doing something this year we won't have to worry about Espn. We will be on Jefferson Pilot or CBS.

TV coverage in 2005

How is that? JP Sports picks after CBS and ESPN.

 

[BAMMAR]

I know JP is the Step Child of college football but we could get one .....Maybe.
I don't really worry about TV I go to the games.

 

[Bama-94-00]

Whatever

.. I don't really worry about TV I go to the games.

So do I and many others here.

Knowing who is covering the games will almost tell the game time; usually it's JP at 11:30 am, CBS at 2:30 pm and ESPN/ESPN2 at 5 pm or later.

 

[BAMMAR]

O.K. ...... SO if you have an aunt in B-Ham who tapes it for you. Worries?

 

[Bama-94-00]

Taping games

O.K. ...... SO if you have an aunt in B-Ham who tapes it for you. Worries?

If I wanted to tape a game I was attending, I'd program the VCR to do it before I left.

 

[BAMMAR]

I guess that means you don't live in the land of puppies and jackets.
Those who do have to rely on family that live in God's country.

 

[BamaArrived2006]

I'm not worried because if I'm not at the game I'll be some where I can see it!!!
