Dang, was hoping for noon. (Blue font intended).

 

[Vol-Fann]

That will be one rowdy crowd. Time to raise hell and praise Dale ladies and gents

 

[gordonr24]

Guaranteed primetime kickoff. We all knew.

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

ABC wow. I thought ESPN would be where they would air it.

 

[SeahawkVOL94]

The Hokey-Smokey slurring pokey!

Huh?

 

[SeahawkVOL94]

ABC owns Espn.

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

ABC owns Espn.

Actually Disney owns both. But I guess I figured they'd put a "bigger" match up on the ABC prime time game.

 

[Chilmonty]

Since it is TN, surprised its not on ESPN 8 "The Ocho", right after the Dodge Ball Finals! :blink:

It would appear to be slim pickings that week.

Also looks like gameday will make an appearance

Does this mean that college gameday will likely be in Bristol?

Almost assured. Schedule for week 2 is very poor, so its almost a promise Gameday will set up there.

Does this mean that Va. Tech is the home team? I don't think ABC can air SEC home games.

Doesn't apply since its neutral site

PBC, imo.

It most likely was going to before the game times were even announced.

The week 2 schedule was very slim pickings outside of this game to begin with.

Whoever had the idea to schedule this game for week 2 rather than week 1 was pretty brilliant actually.

Well, it's more the rights are determined by the contract written up for the neutral site game, isn't it?

Wasn't OU vs UT on ABC last year...from Neyland...@8pm?

i don't know...because I was in the stadium...

Possibly.

It could also just be something in the contract for the matchup and its broadcast allowed for this option.

The 2014 game at OU was, yes.

The 2015 game at Neyland was earlier in the day (5pm) and broadcast on ESPN.

Does this mean Herbie and Fowler will be the announcers? Herbie is fine. Chris Not so much.
