Game time for Missouri game

I'm gonna guess night game on ESPN. Would love to get 330 cuz I love mid afternoon games but Ole Miss-Arky will probably get it. No way it's a noon kickoff IMO.

@Vol_Football: For those looking for the time for Nov. 22 game vs. Mizzou, we are still awaiting it from the SEC. We will release ASAP once we receive it.

I bet CBS is waiting until after this coming week's games are played. If Mizzou and Tennessee win and Arkansas loses I bet CBS would feature UM-UT as it's 3:30 game. An 8-2 Missouri playing for its outright share of the SEC east vs a 5-5 Tennessee team which is looking to become bowl-eligible for the first time in 4 years would be a far more attractive match up than Ole Miss versus a 4-6 Arky team.

Well, to a vols fan yes.

Not necessarily true of the rest of the country, though, or the higher ratings numbers.

AlSo they used a "hold and wait a week" option on last week's selections. Not sure they can do that again within their contract.

That would also put them showing a Missouri game twice in less than a week...and they're already not fond of those to begin with.

No one's sure. The schools are expecting to hear their times this afternoon, but it sounds like they're a bit surprised not to have gotten them yet.

60% it's 3:30 on CBS, 35% it's th espn sec game at 7:15, 5% it's the noon game (highly unlikely)

Can someone go ahead and "overhear" a phone call in the athletic department so I can stop worrying about a game time?

Higher chance it's an ESPN game; CBS has gotten poor ratings in the past with Missouri games.

Edit: unless, for some reason, the SEC/ESPN is trying to force/push CBS to take it (because ESPN doesn't want it)

Check the UT football Twitter.

I doubt our athletic department's on the phone negotiating regarding this one though; they're probably just waiting to receive notice somehow.

Espn likes Ole Miss more and with it being in Arkansas a ESPN game would be more likely. Could be the homer in me but this game in Neyland has a lot riding on it for Mizzou and more so than Arkansas vs Ole miss. Can't forget Miss St vs Vandy as well :)

Can we get an investigative report on this? Does Dave Hart use Google Chat to talk to Mike Slive?

ESPN doesn't get first choice; CBS does. And CBS is looking for what's going to appeal the most to get the highest ratings, more than anything else. (Not necessarily how much is riding on the game)

Unfortunately, Ole Miss and Miss St. both having top 10 rankings next to their name (especially Miss St.'s #1) helps in that regard.

@ZachAFT: Looks like SEC will announce game times for 11/22 and 11/29 today.


So both game times for missouri and Vandy announced.

Didn't know that. Guess that explains some of my previous thoughts. Learn something new everyday. I just hope Vandy is a nooner and I can deal with the others.

That's a bit surprising...I guess it gives the front offices the whole week off for Thanksgiving.


I'm guessing, if true, this is what's causing the delay...who's the guy tweeting this?
