Cant handle the fake laughter at on College Game Day. CGD is the worst part of college football season. Wait... forgot about Beth Mowins...

One of the things I always loved about the Masters was the spring colors on the course. Absolutely gorgeous. Might be weird, but hope the leaf change is still around the peak if they play. It'll be interesting, and different. Anyway, hope they get to play it.......that'd be great.

The fact that Augusta National has publicly announced the move to November suggests that CBS doesn't believe that college football will be played this year.

That aside, there really isn't a public area at the club where Gameday's set could be located.

They clearly cannot play in April. To what month would you suggest they move the tournament?

That’ll change in November when the sun is down by 6:00. The leaders probably need to go by Noon just to leave a little cushion for weather delays or if they need to have a playoff.

I would surely think we would see tee times for 1st and 10th holes. Daylight will be at a premium for sure

On Monday came the announcement from the PGA Tour that its major championships would be rescheduled to this fall due to the ongoing COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) pandemic. That included The Masters, now set to be played November 9-15. That change brought an interesting proposal from ESPN commentator and former basketball coach Dan Dakich. Dakich floated the idea of ESPN’s College Gameday coming to Augusta to College GameDay host Kirk Herbstreit and he appears to be all in. “Love this!!” Herbstreit responded, tagging College GameDay producer Lee Fitting as a potential programming nudge.
That could make for an interesting atmosphere, as Georgia is scheduled to host SEC rival Tennessee that weekend if the 2020 college football season goes unaltered. With CBS having television rights to both the Masters and the SEC on CBS game of the week, that could result in the Dawgs and Volunteers playing in Athens at night as the CBS broadcast. It is a truly unique scenario that might never happen again…

Personally, I love the idea of upsetting UGA on primetime on CBS during the Masters. Bring back Verne Lundquist and it would be just about perfect.

Covid-19 blessings already. Tennessee stomps GA, Gameday in the neighborhood at Augusta, Herbstreit gets caught with a girl scout, it's the perfect storm!

It just dawned on me that there's probably no correlation between the two because Augusta National closes every year not long after the Masters is completed and doesn't reopen until October. It was designed to be a cold weather retreat open from Fall-early Spring and is covered in rye grass that burns up once the temperature rises. Early November is likely the earliest they can have the course back tournament ready in the first place.

If they did it any earlier the members would have to stay off of it for a solid 7 or 8 months given that the club has been closed since early March. That would never fly. At least with this plan they may be able to get a month or so before they have to shut it again for tournament prep.

Coverage on normal April Saturday and Sunday begins 2pm ends 7pm or so. Coverage in November will be most likely 12pm until 5pm daylight savings is the weekend prior, will still be light well after 6pm.

CBS doesnt have a problem with an evening game when its Bama vz LSU. Theyve done night games before.

Also, The master's hates double teeing.

Of course they do but they hate suspended play due to darkness worse. There’s just a ton of variables that will have to be looked at. This obviously will not be a normal Masters. I just might have to roll down to Augusta for this historic event! 😀😀

Agree on Georgia but since UGA/TN is now the 3rd weekend in November I could see one of our home games with some snow. How great would it be to have a snowy UGA/UT game in Neyland?
