SEC announces kickoff times, television designations for Week 5 by Steve Samra

WTF were they thinking for the late games?

Horrible selection across the board.

Interesting no prime time ABC game that week. That’s why there is not a good game on in prime time. The best SEC games get put on ABC, and there’s not an ABC prime time game that week, so therefore we get Arkansas-Texas A&M in that slot.

That's pathetic. We get a morning kick so LSU can have a night game vs a high school.

The morning game is actually as big, if not bigger, slot ratings wise than the other two. The networks finally figured that out.

These windows were set back during SEC media days.
Don’t like doing that but lots of eyes on TVs for college football at 11/12 AM/PM
Unfortunately for the fans attending and game atmosphere, 11/12 SUCKS!!!
We’ll get the 11:00 AM ABC slot which is even worse - assuming we win Saturday night and we may get it bc of Bama even if we don’t.

Yep, we had the morning slot for the Bama game before the season even started.

Hey Sarah get ABC on line one….yes sir Mr Stankey

Bill this is Greg down here in Tuscaloosa..err Birmingham, Listen this Mississippi State team looks like they could be a problem for my Boys in T town we need to make sure they play early so they don’t have a great atmosphere…

Greg are sure about that ? Don’t you want a national audience for this kid they call K1? Might be good for him and His team .

No sir we can’t have that you know Debor ain’t St. Nick and I still have to live here ….so off the record play em at 11 am. I sure appreciate it and Roll Tide . Click

Sarah get the head official for the Mississippi State Alabama game on line two!

I’m assuming there’s an ACC game on ABC in prime time, but there aren’t many interesting ACC games to pick from

More than likely ND vs UNC

the last time we beat alabama in football in 2007, the game was at 11:30am. i still remember watching nickipoo lose his s--- over a bad play.

Yeah I read that last week in an article about the Fox broadcast slots when they were comparing the viewers from Texas/Ohio State this year vs last. Another thing that stinks for the on campus fans but as far as tv goes makes sense there.

Oh well, if we handle business this weekend, Gameday could be in Starkville for the Bama game. If that happens the Junction will already be full by 11 a.m.
