Rumor Bama / MSU at 11am

[57stratdawg]

Would be awful

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

That would be so 17'ing Mississippi State. CBS has a doubleheader that day 11 AM & 2:30 PM

Georgia @ Auburn will be the 2:30 game
The rest of the SEC schedule is
UPIG @ LSU
Lafayette @ Ole Miss
Tennessee @ Missouri
Florida @ South Carolina
New Mexico @ A & M
Kentucky @ Vandy

Does ESPN get the 2nd pick or does CBS pick 1 & 2?

 

[Xenomorph]

That's what we get for that kind of scheduling!1! **

 

[shotgunDawg]

oh Hell NO

 

[HD6]

Why would ESPN pass on that game with the second choice? They want Florida-South Carolina that badly?

 

[57stratdawg]

CBS has a national doubleheader at 11am and 2:30.

I think we’re clear though. They’re not picking 1 and 2

 

[MSUDawgFan86]

That would be the BS of all BS. But a silver lining is the last time we defeated them the game was a 11 am kick in 2007 at home if I remember correctly. I’m cool with being picked on but I honestly believe we are gonna give them a helluva game.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

If that game is @ 1100, they should invite us to the Citrus or Outback pre-game

So you started a rumor based on your mis-understanding of the pecking order?

Could be really nice weather for an 11:00 game. I would only slightly less hate that time slot. I'm hoping for the night game.

 

[57stratdawg]

I got a text saying we might be at 11, then saw this Cecil Hurt tweet.

So is Cecil Hurt supposed to be some kind of college football tv scheduling expert? Even though he is just asking a question?

 

[tatedog]

I'm sure there are worse things than a CBS 11am game with Alabama, but I'm struggling to name them.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Could you imagine the non-game material they would get from Spurrier they could show? Mike Tyson lite would have a field day

 

[615dawg]

CBS gets 1st and 4th pick
ESPN gets 2nd and 3rd kick

We will likely be the primetime ESPN game or the 2:30 CBS game, as Georgia would be 3 straight weeks at 2:30 on CBS if UGA is picked up. We all know how CBS loves Alabama. May be going through withdrawals

 

[Bulldogg31]

11:00am kick might be our best chance against Bama? They're not used to breakfast kickoffs.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

I want nothing to do with either CBS slot. 17 Gary danielson.

 

[vhdawg]

Would be awful

I don't think we're going to find out the kick time today. CBS has one more six-day selection to use, and I can't see them wasting that on the putrid 11/18 slate or to make a decision on 11/25 between the Iron Bowl and LSU/A&M or Vandy/Tennessee.

 

[dickiedawg]

Guys, you misread the original post. "The rumor is that a MSU/Bama 11 a.m. kick would be awful."

If CBS really gets the 4th pick for that game, there's almost no chance of that.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Is that what Saban approved?

 

[engie]

The SEC/CBS contract is the worst TV deal in sports. They pay for the whole year less than what the SEC Championship Game alone is worth. And they dilute the product by a million commercials and making it last longer than baseball games.

I wonder at what point the SEC comes out ahead by buying out of the remainder of that contract and letting it hit the open market? CBS' refusal to renegotiate the numbers with the aTm/Mizzou look-in virtually guaranteed that the SEC is done with them at the end of the current deal. The contract runs through 2023/2024 and is worth $55mil/yr. The contract as it sits should probably be worth $200mil IMO.

 

[HumpDawgy]

Can we get it scheduled for a 6am kickoff? This one worries me for obvious reasons. We will likely drop into the 70s in the rankings after this game (much like Auby and Gawga games).

 

[birdawg]

So basically not a rumor at all

Haha and now you have a little insight into most of the “rumors”.
