LSU is a Nooner

[DownNDirty]

What on earth did ESPN pick to put in prime time/better slots?

Beneficial to UT aside, really weird choice from ESPN's side.

I think ESPN has MLB playoffs that day is part of the reason no night games. Auburn/UGA is the 3:30 PM CBS game and Bama/A&M is the CBS 8:00 PM game. I think the LSU/Tennessee matchup is more attractive than Auburn/UGA but I promise anything earlier in the day for an LSU home game is a HUGE plus for Tennessee. So 12:00 PM is much better than a 7:00 PM or 8:00 PM night game.

We can jump on them before the fans wake up!

I want to see us jump all over them to open up the game like we did against Mizzou , SC and Kentucky last year.

Perfect game time for away at LSU.

Heck yeah !! That bodes well for the Vols. Death Valley at nite is one tough mother regardless of any circumstances.

 

[DaddyChad]

Better than a night game.

Yeah that place gets a lot tougher to win in when the sun sets.

ESPN doesn't get a night game due to CBS getting one. SECN has a night game, but ESPN at 12 gets first pick.

Lol they are flexxing this weekend? Hell Tenn LSU game is more appealing than Auburn UGA.

I'm going and I don't mind.

[THEONLYTENISEE]

Looks like it sets up Tennessee vs Bama on CBS!

 

[My VOLS are huge]

At least it isnt Gary D calling the game.

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

Auburn plays LSU, then at UGA. Ouch.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

I approve.

 

[BearCat204]

The LSU board is not happy with the slot.

The LSU board can eat ****

 

[Ragin'Vols]

CBS picking to show Auburn get boat raced by Georgia over a single digit Vols in Death Valley is an absolute crime to college football.

 

[McDad]

I'm going and I don't mind.

same. ...as long as it isn't hot as Hades that day.

 

[walkenvol]

Big advantage for us since we practice in the mornings (hopefully lsu doesn’t also practice in the mornings)

They're from Louisiana. The do eat ****. and they spice it up so it tastes amazing.

Which is why we are on ESPN. CBS gets the #1 and #3 pick on double header weekends. ESPN gets #2

They didn't pick over us. ESPN gets 2nd pick. CBS gets #1 and #3 pick

 

[ScornedPapaVol]

This is an absolute steal. I 100000% thought it would be a night game. Wow. I guess the League Office wants undefeated Bama vs undefeated Tenn.

 

[bigdaddy]

same. ...as long as it isn't hot as Hades that day.

Or a hurricane

And as a UT fan I’m fine with it.

No primetime ESPN games that night. Somebody else said baseball, but not sure.
