I'm fine with it, but if you're CBS, why jump the gun and pick Georgia and Tennessee? There's a very legit chance that we beat Georgia and they end up passing on a game between two Top 15 teams in favor of Georgia ranked between 15 and 20 against an unranked team.

This is after they jumped the gun last week by picking Vandy and Bama when they could've used a six day option.

Whatever. We have been really good under the lights so far, so we can just keep doing that.

CBS has always preferred the traditional match ups, and by traditional match ups I mean games not involving us. I don't mind because Gary Danielson is a jackass.

 

[The Usual Suspect]

The only time that we will be the choice, is if we are playing to be number one or playing Bama. I don't think the network believes we generate enough views otherwise.

I'm fine with that. 6 is my preferred game time. 7 is probably the best time for TV. 5 or 6 is probably the best for attending the games (leaves some time to enjoy the junction before and after the game).

I'll never forget the glee in his voice as he pointed out that Dak may have tweaked his ankle against UK in 2014. Guy is classless. He can't follow Verne out the door soon enough for me.

The only reason to cover the game vs. the barners is to watch the bird kill itself.

That'll be a good evening of game watching. Just hope we're 4-0 going into Auburn.

He was absolutely horrible Saturday night. I'd be fine if we never make a CBS broadcast this year at home.
After the way things sounded this past week, I want all our big matchups at home at night.

CBS doesn't prefer the traditional match ups as much as it prefers the number of eyeballs associated with the more traditional powers for which they get to sell 52 minutes of advertising a game (about 15 minutes more than any ESPN-ish game). I'm just fine not being on CBS, the games are a hell of a lot quicker.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Me either.

I don't get the love for the cbs game. The announcers blow and they last 5 hours. There's a TV TO after every play.

That settles it. We won't be on that week either. CBS hates showing Bama.**

Just survive the next 6 years and the CBS deal will be gone forever. I don't think anyone will miss it. They assured that when they wouldn't really rework the contract with the look-in after adding aTm and Mizzou. They pay ~ $3.5mil per game for the best game the SEC has to offer every week plus the SEC title game. The whole $55mil/yr contract is worth about what the SEC title game would likely be worth on the open market. Assuming the game regains it's luster rather than fading further with every unchallenged Bama coronation.

Really thought we were closer to the end of it than this until I just checked...
