Why isn't our matchup with Georgia a night game?

There is still this mystic about playing in Tiger stadium at night.

I thought they could flex. Why have an unranked team in prime time

From here on out I think they are flexed. The 1st 3 game times were set back in the summer.

 

[Boston Vol]

Correct me if i am wrong, but the 3:30 slot is the “big game” of the week, is it not?

I agree that the crowd is rowdy at night, and that would benefit us.

No, that was CBS. Since ESPN took over last year, prime time has been the game of the week slot.

The Bama game in 2022 was a 330 start. Loudest in history to that point. We absolutely can be loud during the day.

 

[MajinBooCarter]

3:30 is the best time slot imo

Flex times start with Week 4. Kickoff times for Weeks 1-3 are always announced before the season.

Neyland at night!

I wish we had a cool name like “Death Valley” but there kinda overused.

It's not a night game because it's played in daytime. Ok I will go into deserved exile.

Seriously if the game was scheduled on Monday it would've been the night game. I think TV has too much say in college football, but TV does pay the bills.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Before the season an LSU vs UF game featuring Nuss and Lagway was tailor made for a night game in Death Valley. USF had other plans.

 

[VolCalls]

Pat and Kirk have acknowledged twice already they would be in Morgantown for the Backyard Brawl today had West Virginia won last week.

 

[GrayWaterCanine]

Because the doesn't set until much later in the evening at this point of the year.

 

[Savannahbayvol]

Because it would help us and BSPN won’t allow that!

Are you by any chance watching Game Day on ESPN. I guess getting probably $100 million in free advertising for 3 hours on National TV doesnt help us? Geez man have you ever had an original idea in your life?

 

[TJVol95]

It bugs me that we never get Georgia as a night game in Neyland. My question is why?? Our home crowd is at its best at night. I just can't see us being as loud in the middle of the afternoon.

They love them some LSU that’s why

flex options have to be set well (2+ weeks) in advance.

Typically yes, but this week we are game of the week, as evidenced by Gameday and Fowler/Herbie on the call

Duh, so it gives us a few more hours to celebrate on Cumberlnd Avenue
